If you do not want plugin / tool / social network providers to associate your data collected during your visit to Picodi with your profile with that provider, please ensure that you log out of that social network before visiting Picodi. Remember that you can also prevent plugins from loading on your website by using the appropriate mechanisms within the browser you are using, according to its settings.
