The cookies issued by third-party applications integrated into our website
We have already included and are likely to include on our website third-party IT applications allowing you to share content from our website with other people or let these people know about your visit to our website or give your opinion about its content. This is particularly the case with “share”, “like”, social modules from social networks such as “Facebook”, “Twitter”, “LinkedIn”, “Viadeo”, etc.
Social modules are buttons, boxes and news (such as the Like or Share buttons) that other websites may use to show content from a social network enabling you to enjoy a more social and more personal experience. Although the buttons, boxes and news appear on our website, the content comes directly from the social network to which it is refers.
The social network providing such a button is likely to identify you through this button. This type of button may allow the social network concerned to monitor your browsing activity on our website solely because your account on the social network in question was enabled on your device whilst browsing our website.
We have no control over the process used by social networks to collect browsing information on our website and linked to the personal data they have available to them. We therefore invite you to refer to the privacy protection policies of these social networks in order to learn about how the data is used and the browsing information that they may collect through these buttons. These protection policies must allow you to exercise your choices on these social networks by configuring your user account settings on each of them.
