Social Network Widgets (Third-Party Cookies)
Social plugins (e.g. for Instagram, YouTube) may also be present on this Website.
These are represented by icons or buttons that allow you to share content on social networks.
These plugins are represented by buttons displayed on the host site that do not function automatically, but transmit information through cookies only after an action (a click) by the user. The button remains active until the user decides to disable it or delete the related cookie. Once activated, the social network concerned can collect data, regardless of whether the button is actually used. If, at the same time, the user has logged into the social network, the latter can link the visit to the site containing the plugin to the user’s account on the social network itself. To prevent this link, the user must disable access to the social network before activating the button.
The main purpose of these plugins is to allow content to be shared on social networks. This site has no influence on the purposes of processing the data collected by the aforementioned third parties through the plugins in question. As these are third-party cookies, their use is governed by the rules set by the social networks that own them and, therefore, to manage or disable these cookies, users must read the privacy policies and instructions published on the websites of these third parties.
