Social Plugins and widgets (thrid party)

Our web pages may contain plug-ins from the most popular social networks (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin) managed by third parties.

These plug-ins may for example include the “Like” buttons on Facebook or “Retweet” buttons on Twitter. If you access one of our web pages, with a similar plug-in, the browser connects directly to the third party servers and the plug-in is displayed on the screen thanks to the connection with the browser. The plug-in may communicate to the servers of the third parties whose pages the user has visited.

If a social network user visits our web pages while connected to their own account, that information may be associated with the account. Also, when using the functions of the plug-in (for example, by clicking the “Like” button), the information will be associated with the account.
