1. What are cookies?

The website embossy.eu (hereinafter, the Website) uses Cookies. Cookies are files sent to a browser by a web server to record the User's activities on a specific website. The primary purpose of Cookies is to provide the user with faster access to the selected services. In addition, Cookies personalize the services offered by the Website, facilitating and providing each user with information that is or may be of interest to them, based on their use of the Services.

The Website uses Cookies to personalize and facilitate the user's browsing experience as much as possible. Cookies are associated solely with an anonymous user and their computer and do not provide references that allow the user's personal data to be deduced. Users may configure their browser to notify and reject the installation of Cookies sent by the Website, without this affecting the user's ability to access the contents of said website. However, please note that, in any case, the operational quality of the Website may decrease.

Registered users, those who register, or those who have logged in, may benefit from more personalized services tailored to their profile, thanks to the combination of the data stored in cookies with the personal data used at the time of registration. These users expressly authorize the use of this information for the indicated purpose, without prejudice to their right to reject or disable the use of cookies.

Likewise, the Website may track all the services requested by users, so that it can provide or offer information adapted to the tastes and preferences of each user.

2. What types of cookies exist?

Cookies, depending on their permanence or purpose, can be divided into:

• Performance cookies: This type of Cookie remembers your preferences for the tools found in the services, so you do not have to reconfigure the service each time you visit. Examples include:
- Volume settings of video or audio players.
- Video transmission speeds that are compatible with your browser.
• Geo-location cookies: These Cookies are used to determine which country you are in when a service is requested. This Cookie is completely anonymous and is only used to help tailor content to your location.
• Registration cookies: Registration Cookies are generated once the user has registered or subsequently opened their session, and are used to identify them in the services with the following objectives:
- Keep the user identified so that, if they close a service, the browser, or the computer, and return at another time, they will still be identified, facilitating browsing. This functionality can be deleted if the user clicks "log out".
- Check if the user is authorized to access certain services, for example, to participate in a contest.
• Analytics cookies: Each time a User visits a service, a tool from an external provider generates an anonymous analytical Cookie on the user's computer. The main objectives are:
- Allow the anonymous identification of browsing users through the Cookie (it identifies browsers and devices, not people) and therefore the approximate count of the number of visitors.
- Anonymously identify the most visited and therefore most attractive content.
- Know if the user who is accessing is new or a repeat visitor.
- Important: Unless the user decides to register for a service, the Cookie will never be associated with any personal data that could identify them. These Cookies will only be used for statistical purposes to help optimize the User experience.
• Behavioral advertising cookies: This type of Cookie allows for further details on the advertisements shown to each anonymous user. Among others, it stores the duration or frequency of display of advertising positions, interaction with them, or browsing patterns and/or behaviors to help shape a profile of commercial interest and offer relevant advertising.
• Third-party advertising cookies: In addition to the advertising managed by the Website, the Website offers its advertisers the option to serve ads through third parties ("AdServers"). In this way, these third parties can store Cookies sent from the Website's services and access the data stored in them.
