These are, in particular “Like” or “share” buttons on third-party social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc. which you may find on our sites and apps.

They allow you to like and share information from our sites and apps with your friends on social networks. When you consult any page on our Sodiaal International websites (web or mobile) including plug-ins or social modules, a connection is established with social network servers (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) who are then informed that you accessed the corresponding page on the Sodiaal International Website consulted, and even if you do not have a Facebook or Twitter account, and even if you are not logged in to your Facebook or Twitter account.

For example: if you are logged in to a social network when browsing on the www.sodiaal.coop Website, the social networks to which you are logged in may indicate your visit in your account on the corresponding social networks. If you use plug-ins (e.g.: likes), your actions may be stored and published on your social network accounts depending on the settings of your social network accounts.
