a) Use of cookies:

The Website uses cookies and other similar mechanisms (hereinafter, cookies). Cookies are files sent to a browser through a web server to record the user's activities on a specific website or across all websites, apps, and/or services on our Website (hereinafter, the services). The primary purpose of cookies is to provide users with faster access to selected services. Additionally, cookies personalize the services offered by the Website, facilitating and providing users with information that is of interest to them or may be of interest based on their use of the services.

The Website uses cookies to personalize and maximize user navigation. Cookies are associated only with an anonymous user and their computer and do not provide references that allow for the deduction of the user's personal data. The user may configure their browser to notify and reject the installation of cookies sent by the Website without it affecting their ability to access the content. However, it should be noted that the quality of the Website's operation may be reduced.

A registered user who logs in may benefit from more personalized services tailored to their profile, thanks to the combination of data stored in cookies with personal data used during registration. Such users expressly authorize the use of this information for the stated purpose, without prejudice to their right to refuse or disable the use of cookies.

Additionally, the Website may track all services requested by the user to facilitate and offer information suited to each user's tastes and preferences.

b) Types, purpose, and functioning of cookies:

Cookies can be divided into session or permanent cookies based on their duration. Session cookies expire when the user closes the browser, while permanent cookies expire once their purpose is fulfilled (e.g., keeping the user logged in to the services) or when they are manually deleted.

Additionally, based on their purpose, cookies can be classified as follows:

**PERFORMANCE COOKIES:** These cookies remember user preferences for tools within the services, eliminating the need to reconfigure them each time the page is visited. Examples include:

• Volume settings for video or audio players.
• Video streaming speeds compatible with the browser.
• Items saved in the shopping cart on e-commerce services.

**GEO-LOCATION COOKIES:** These cookies are used to determine the country the user is in when requesting a service. This cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor content to the user's location.

**REGISTRATION COOKIES:** Registration cookies are generated when a user registers or subsequently logs in, and they are used to identify the user within the services for the following purposes:

• To keep the user identified so that if they close a service, browser, or computer and return later, they remain logged in, facilitating navigation without needing to log in again. This functionality can be disabled if the user selects the ‘log out’ option, which will delete the cookie, requiring the user to log in again on their next visit.
• To check if the user is authorized to access certain services, such as participating in a contest.

Additionally, some services may use social media connectors such as Facebook or Twitter. When a user registers with a service using social media credentials, they authorize the social network to store a persistent cookie that remembers their identity and ensures access to the services until it expires. The user can delete this cookie and revoke access to services through social media by updating their preferences on the specific social network.

**ANALYTICS COOKIES:** Each time a user visits a service, a third-party tool generates an analytical cookie on the user’s device. This cookie, which is only generated during the visit, will be used in future visits to anonymously identify the visitor. The main objectives are:

• Allowing the anonymous identification of browsing users via the cookie (identifies browsers and devices, not individuals) and, therefore, estimating visitor numbers and trends over time.
• Identifying the most visited and, therefore, most attractive content for users.
• Determining whether a user is accessing the site for the first time or is a returning visitor.

Important: Unless the user decides to register for a service, the cookie will never be linked to personal data that can identify them. These cookies are only used for statistical purposes to optimize user experience on the site.

**ADVERTISING COOKIES:** These cookies help expand the information available regarding advertisements displayed to each anonymous user on the services. Among other things, they store the duration or frequency of ad displays, user interaction with ads, or user browsing and behavior patterns, which help create a profile of advertising interest. This allows more relevant advertising to be offered to the user.

c) How to disable cookies and Web bugs in the main browsers:

It is usually possible to stop accepting browser cookies or to stop accepting cookies from a particular service.

All modern browsers allow users to modify cookie settings. These settings are usually found in the ‘options’ or ‘preferences’ menu of the browser. Users can also configure their browser or email manager and install free add-ons to prevent Web bugs from being downloaded when opening an email.

The Website provides guidance on how users can access the cookie settings menu and, if applicable, enable private browsing in the main browsers:

• Internet Explorer: Tools -> Internet Options -> Privacy -> Settings.
  For more information, visit Microsoft Support or consult the browser's Help section.
• Firefox: Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> History -> Custom Settings.

  For more information, visit Google Support or consult the browser's Help section.
• Safari: Preferences -> Security.
  For more information, visit Apple Support or consult the browser's Help section.

d) What happens if cookies are disabled:

Some functionalities of the services will be disabled, such as staying logged in, keeping items in the "shopping cart" in an e-commerce service, receiving location-based information, or viewing certain videos.

UPDATES AND CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY/COOKIES POLICY:

The Website may modify this Cookies Policy based on legislative or regulatory requirements or to adapt it to instructions from the Spanish Data Protection Agency. Therefore, users are advised to check it periodically.

When significant changes occur in this Cookies Policy, they will be communicated to users either through the website or via email for registered users.
