Some external content from third-party providers is included on the official web pages of Freie Universität Berlin. Integrating external content such as videos, presentations, or news feeds, e.g., from social media services, can enhance the content of a website. As with the use of map services, data protection aspects need to be taken into consideration here, too. For that reason, the “two-step solution” described above is also used when integrating content from third-party providers. You can recognize this type of content when you see certain types of widgets, such as the Google Maps widget shown above at Section 7.

The two-step solution operates in a similar way for third-party content. By clicking the link you agree to a one-time data exchange between the respective websites of the above-named domain and the relevant third party. Under the default setting, data are not transmitted to the provider of the external content. You can permanently activate data exchange between the pages of the relevant domain and the provider of the external content, and you can revise this decision again at any time.
