OTHER SITES

This website may contain links to other websites. This privacy notice applies only to this website. You should read the privacy policies of other websites.

Use of Facebook

The Data Controller has integrated components of the Facebook social network into this website.

Facebook is a social network that allows users to communicate, share content, and create personal or business profiles. The entity responsible for its operation is Meta Platforms, Inc., headquartered at 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. When the data subject resides outside the United States of America or Canada, the controller is Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., headquartered at 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

When accessing a page on this website that contains a Facebook plug-in, the user's browser automatically connects to Facebook's servers and downloads the respective content. This way, Facebook is informed of which specific page is being visited. A list of Facebook plug-ins can be found at [https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/).

If the data subject is logged in to Facebook while browsing this website, Facebook may associate the visit to the website's pages with their personal account. If the user interacts with the plug-ins (for example, by clicking the "Like" button or posting a comment), these actions will also be associated with the Facebook account and stored by Meta.

Facebook receives this information whenever the user accesses the website while logged in, even if they do not interact with the plug-ins.

To prevent this collection and association of data, the data subject must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

Facebook's privacy policy, available at [https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/](https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/), explains in detail how personal data is processed, as well as the configuration options available to protect user privacy.
There are also third-party applications that allow you to prevent data transmission to Facebook, if you so wish.


Use of Instagram

The data controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is an audiovisual platform that allows users to share photos and videos and disseminate this content on other social networks.

The entity responsible for operating Instagram is Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., with registered offices at 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time a page of this website operated by the controller is accessed and contains an Instagram component (e.g., an "Insta" button), the visitor's Internet browser automatically connects to Instagram's servers and downloads the corresponding content. During this process, Instagram is informed of which specific page of our website was visited.

If the user is simultaneously logged into their Instagram account, Instagram recognizes, with each visit and throughout the entire navigation, which specific pages of our website the user has accessed. This information is collected by the Instagram component and associated with the user's personal account. If the user interacts with one of the Instagram buttons integrated into the website, the transmitted data and information will also be associated with the user's personal Instagram account and processed by Meta.

Instagram receives this information whenever the user accesses our website while logged in to the platform, regardless of whether or not they click on the Instagram component.

If the user does not want this information to be transmitted, they must log out of Instagram before visiting our website.

The privacy policies applicable to Instagram are available at:
