Third party Cookie:
By visiting a website you can receive cookies from both the visited site ( "owners"), and from sites managed by other organizations ( "third party "). An example is the presence of the "social plugins " For AddThis, Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, etc. These are parts of the page which are visited directly and generated by these sites and integrated into the page of the host site. The most common use of social plugins is aimed at sharing content on social networks.
The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of the information collected by "Third parties" is governed by laws which you should adhere to. To ensure greater transparency and comfort, the following are the web addresses of the different information and the modalities for the management of cookies.

By default, Google Analytics uses the full IP address of users on a Web site to provide general geographic data in their reports. Instead, this site anonymizes the IP. This means that Google Analytics removes the last octet from the user's IP address before using it and storing it. This slightly reduces the accuracy of the geographic reports.
