Third-Party Cookies
When visiting a website, you may receive cookies from both the visited site (“owners”) and sites managed by other organizations (“third parties”).

These are parts of the visited page generated directly by these sites and integrated into the hosting site’s page. The most common use of social plugins is for sharing content on social networks. The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of information collected by “third parties” is governed by their respective information, to which reference is made.
