Third-party cookies
Visiting a website you may receive cookies from the site which is visited ("owners"), as well as from websites maintained by other organizations ("third parties"). A notable example is the presence of "social plugins" for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn. They are parts of the visited page directly generated by these sites and integrated into the site page of the host. The most common use of social plugins is aimed at sharing content on social networks.
The presence of these plugins involves the exchange of cookies to and from all sites operated by third parties. The management of the information collected by "third parties" is governed by the relevant policies which should be duly noted.
