Social media plug-ins facilitate the sharing of pages and content from our site on various social platforms. For example, they allow you to “like” and share information from our site with your friends on the social networks.

 

For this purposes these plug-ins use cookies that enable users’ browsing to be tracked whether or not you are a user of these platforms and whether or not you are signed into the social network while you are browsing. These cookies also enable targeted advertising on these platforms.
