You agree to our cookie policy by using our website or by giving implicit consent unless you change your settings (more on this in Chapter 3). After consent, other parties may place tracking cookies on your device to better tailor advertisements to your preferences. These cookies allow them to track which pages you visit outside their network, building a profile of your online behavior. This profile is also based on similar information they obtain from your visits to other websites in their network. This profile is not linked to your name, address, email address, or similar data known to us, but is solely used to tailor advertisements to your profile, making them as relevant as possible.

These buttons function via pieces of code that originate from Facebook and Twitter themselves. This code places cookies, over which we have no control. Please refer to Facebook’s and Twitter’s privacy policies (which may change periodically) to understand how they handle your (personal) data collected through these cookies. The information they gather is anonymized as much as possible and is transmitted to and stored on servers in the United States.
