This is why this information will be matched to individual users. The same procedure applies to the use of plug-in modules (e.g. Like button) or to adding comments, too.
If you click to activate, for example, the button to express approval (e.g. Like on Facebook®) or add some comments, depending on the provider of the social network, in general, the following data may be transferred: IP address, information about the browser and operating system, screen resolution, installed plug-in modules of the browser, such as Adobe Flash Player, previously visited addresses in the case that you have visited the website by clicking on a link, and the URL address of current website.
