4. COOKIES ISSUED BY THIRD PARTIES

These are cookies placed on your device by third-party companies (for example, partners) when you browse our website. The issuance and use of cookies by third parties are subject to their own privacy policies. We inform you of the purpose of the cookies of which we are aware and the means available to you to make choices regarding them.

Due to third-party applications integrated into our website, we may include applications that allow you to share content from our site with others or to inform others of your viewing or opinion of content on our site.

The social network providing such a button may identify you through it, even if you did not use it while browsing our website. This type of application may allow the social network to track your browsing on our website simply because your social network account was active on your device during your visit.

We have no control over the processes used by social networks to collect information relating to your browsing on our website and associated personal data. We invite you to consult the privacy policies of these social networks to understand the purposes for which they may use such information, particularly for advertising purposes, and to learn how to exercise your rights, including by configuring your user accounts.
