They are parts of the visited page generated directly by the above mentioned websites and integrated on the page of the host site. The most common use of social plug-ins is to facilitate the sharing of social network content. The presence of these plug-ins means that cookies are transmitted from and to all sites managed by third parties. The cortebuona-usa.it website does not use these cookies.
