This information (including your IP address) is sent directly from your browser to a server of the respective provider (possibly in the USA) and stored there.
If you are logged into one of the services, the providers can directly assign the visit to our website to your profile in the respective social network. If you interact with the plugins, for example, by pressing the “Like” or “Share” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the providers and stored there. The information is also published in the social network and shown to your contacts there.
