  • WHAT IS THE BASIS OF LEGITIMACY THAT ALLOWS US TO PROCESS YOUR DATA THROUGH COOKIES? IF SO, ARE THEY MANDATORY?

The processing of information collected with cookies and other tracking devices that are not necessary is based on your consent, which we ask you for when you access the Websites via an informative pop-up. 

The processing of the information we collect through the necessary cookies does not require consent, as it is based on the legitimate interest of Handball.ai. Cookies whose purpose is strictly limited to the exclusive measurement of the Website’s audience, carried out on behalf of the publisher only (by the publisher itself or a supplier, not third parties) and used to produce anonymous statistical data only (no identifiers are collected) will also not require consent (and will therefore be based on legitimate interest).

Where applicable, you may withdraw your consent at any time as explained in the section on withdrawal of consent.

Technical or necessary cookies cannot be disabled, otherwise the proper functioning of the Websites would be compromised. They are generally only set in response to actions taken when you request services from us, such as setting your preferences in relation to the cookies themselves, logging in or completing forms. In the event of deactivation, this may result in the limited use of some of the Website’s services by not being able to access certain functionalities and therefore your experience will be less satisfactory.

  • TO WHOM DO WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION? ARE THERE ANY INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS?

We use some third-party cookies, which are those cookies collected and managed by a third party, so these entities will receive your personal data collected through cookies for the purposes indicated for each cookie. These types of cookies are indicated in the table in section 5, as “Third Party Cookies”. This table identifies the third party that manages each cookie. There are cases where some “first party” cookie service providers may also collect your data for their own purposes, such as improving their tool. In these cases, we will also identify them as “third party cookies” in the table in section 5.  

You can find out about the transfers to third countries that, where applicable, are made by the third parties identified in this cookie policy in their corresponding policies.

  • HOW CAN I ACCEPT, REFUSE OR REVOKE CONSENT TO THE USE OF COOKIES ON THIS WEBSITE?

When you access our Websites for the first time, you will be shown a window in which you can indicate whether you accept cookies or whether you wish to configure or reject them, except for those that are strictly necessary. You can also withdraw your previously granted consent at any time. 

If you would like to withdraw your consent at any time in relation to the Cookies Policy, you have two options: (i) withdraw your consent through the buttons enabled for this purpose in this Cookies Policy; or (ii) delete the cookies stored on your device through the settings and configurations of your Internet browser.

Please note that if you accept third-party cookies, you must delete them from your browser options or from the system offered by the third party itself.
