Social network cookies

Vorwerk is not responsible for the placement of thirdparty cookies on users’ computers through social networks frequented by users. These cookies allow user identification in particular when the functionality allows the user to request and accept content or publish an opinion.

Several social media networks (Facebook, Youtube) are integrated on our website – so-called “social media plug-ins” which allow the user in particular to recommend the content they are viewing. When the user accesses a page containing one of these plug-ins, the browser establishes a direct link with the server of the social network in question. The content of the plug-in will therefore be directed by that social network to the user’s browser and integrated into the web page.
