This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether there is no user account. If you're logged in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your profile to be associated with Google, you will need to log out.

Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the design of its website in line with requirements. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of providing demand-oriented advertising. The evaluation is also carried out to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.

If you are logged in to your user account for the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the information collected during the visit to the user's personal account. If you interact via a "share" button of the respective network, this information can also be stored in the user's personal user account and published if necessary. If you want to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to your user account, the user must log out of the respective social network before clicking on the graphic.
