Much of the User information we collect, and most of the information we use in connection with advertising, is collected through the use of cookies and similar technologies. Cookies usually consist of a sequence of numbers and/or letters that platforms transfer to users' hard drives. Similar technologies include pixel tags, web storage and other methods, all of which we refer to as "cookies" in this section. The cookies allow the platforms to "remember" you either for the duration of your visit (session cookies) or on repeat visits (persistent cookies).

We use the following types of cookies on the Platforms:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies - These cookies are essential to enable the user to navigate the Platform securely and to provide the user with the services that the user has specifically requested.

• Functionality Cookies - These cookies improve the functionality of the Platforms by storing user preferences. For example, they may remember your name and location if you provide this information and the types of content you are interested in.

• Performance Cookies - These cookies improve the performance of the Platforms. For example, they help pages load faster.

Your IP address and other information is collected through automated means to evaluate your use of the Platform, compile reports on Platform activity, identify user behavior patterns, and provide related services. For more information on how Google Analytics uses your information, please click here. In addition, authentication and tracking logs are used to compile user statistics.

• Targeting/Advertising Cookies - These cookies help us deliver relevant ads and implement frequency capping.

These types of cookies may also be placed on the Platform by our business partners or service providers.

If you register with us or continue to use the Platforms, you agree to our use of cookies. In some cases, when you arrive on the Platform, a pop-up message will appear asking for your consent to place advertising cookies on your device, in accordance with applicable law. To give your consent, please click on "OK" or following the directions provided. Once your consent has been given, this message may not appear when you return to the site unless you delete cookies through your browser settings or otherwise.

You can opt out of Google Analytics here. In some cases, if you opt out, a new cookie (opt-out cookie) will be placed on your web browser. This tells the third-party provider to stop collecting data from your browser and prevents them from serving you advertising.

We may disclose user information to any member of the FootballCo Group if this is necessary for business administration purposes in accordance with applicable law. We may also allow other members of the FootballCo Group to contact users with relevant offers, competitions and the latest news (if Users have consented to this as required by applicable law).
