The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
The Municipal Authority of the City of St. Pölten and Marketing St. Pölten GmbH use this data exclusively for the optimisation of their website and for market research. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

Usage of Facebook plugins
This website uses plugins from the social network facebook.com - operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). These are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on a blue tile or sign with "thumbs up") or marked with the addition "Facebook Social Plugin".
If you call up websites of our website with such a plugin, a connection to the Facebook servers will be established and the plugin will be displayed on the website by notifying your browser. This transmits to the Facebook server which of our websites you have visited. If you are logged in as a member of Facebook, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When using the plugin functions (e.g. by clicking the "Like" button or submitting a comment), this information is also assigned to your Facebook account. This can only be prevented by logging out before using the plugin.
For more information on the collection and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins with add-ons for your browser.
Use of the "+1" button
This website uses the "+1" button of the social network Google Plus, which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google"). The button is recognizable by the sign "+1" on a white or colored background.
When you visit a page on our website that contains such a button, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google's servers. The content of the "+1" button is transmitted by Google directly to your browser, which integrates it into the website. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data that Google collects with the button, but assume that your IP address is recorded.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Google's privacy policy on the "+1" button: http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html
If you are a Google Plus member and do not want Google to collect data about you via our website and link it to your membership data stored by Google, you must log out of Google Plus before visiting our website.
This website uses the buttons of the Twitter service. These buttons are provided by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. They are recognizable by terms such as "Twitter" or "Follow", combined with a stylized blue bird. With the help of the buttons, it is possible to share a post or a page of this website on Twitter or to follow the provider on Twitter.
When you visit a website that contains such a button, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Twitter servers. The content of the Twitter buttons is transmitted by Twitter directly to your browser. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data that Twitter collects with the help of this plugin. To the best of our knowledge, only the IP address of the user is transmitted when the button is used, but not for purposes other than the display of the button.
