Facebook will therefore be informed that you visited our page using your IP address. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can associate the visit with your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking on the "Like" button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored there.
