Only when you actively click on the respective buttons yourself will your web browser connect to the servers of the various social networks, i.e. clicking on elements and then clicking on the social networks indicates your consent to your browser connecting to the servers of the social networks and sending data to that social network operators, whether or not you are a subscriber of that social network.
We have no influence over the nature or scope of data that social networks may then gather.
