BARÇA GAMES uses its own and third-party cookies in accordance with what is established in this Cookie Policy. You can also configure the cookies you wish to install by categories.
In the cookie information table at the end of this document, you can check all the domains from which the cookies originate, whether they are first-party or third-party.
Subject to cookie settings or acceptance of the Cookie Notice, the cookies informed or configured will be installed (unless you have rejected them or have modified your browser settings to reject all cookies or some of them by default).

- WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a text file that includes small amounts of data that are downloaded and installed on your device/terminal when you visit our platform. Subsequently, cookies return to the original website on subsequent visits, or to another website that recognizes this cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow storing and retrieving information about the number of visits, user or device browsing habits, and, depending on the information they contain and how you use your device, they can be used to recognize the user, as well as to improve the user experience of the website or application.
You can find more information about cookies at www.allaboutcookies.org/es .
- TYPES OF COOKIES
Depending on the owner/entity that manages the computer from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, we can distinguish between:
- First-party cookies: These are sent to the user's computer from a device or domain managed by us and from which the requested service is provided by the user.
- Third-party cookies: These are sent to the user's computer/terminal from a device or domain that is not managed by us, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
Furthermore, depending on the purpose of the cookies, they can be classified as:
- a) Strictly Necessary Cookies (Technical): These are cookies that allow the user to navigate the website or platform and use the different options or services available, including those used to enable the operational management of the website or platform and to enable features and services, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted access parts, carrying out the purchasing process, remembering an order, managing payment, controlling fraud linked to service security, making registration or participation requests in an event, counting views for software licensing billing purposes with which the service operates, using security elements during navigation, storing content for video or audio broadcasting, enabling dynamic content, or sharing content through social networks.
The user's consent is not required for the installation of these cookies. However, if you configure your browser to block these cookies, the website may stop working correctly.
- b) Preference or Personalization Cookies: These are cookies that allow remembering information so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that may differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, the number of results that will be shown when a user performs a search, the appearance or content of the website depending on the type of browser through which the user accesses it or the region from which they access, etc. Disabling these cookies may result in a less functional browsing experience for the user.
- c) Analytics or Measurement Cookies: These are cookies that allow the controller of these cookies to monitor and analyze the behavior of users of the websites to which they are linked, including quantifying the impact of advertisements. The information collected through this type of cookies is used to measure the activity of the website or platform in order to introduce improvements based on the analysis of the usage data that users of the service perform. These cookies analyze, for example, the pages visited, the frequency and recurrence of visits, or the time spent on each page or section, among other statistical parameters.
- d) Behavioral Advertising Cookies: These are cookies that store information about user behavior obtained through continuous observation of their browsing habits, and that allow the development of a specific profile to display personalized advertising based on it. In other words, these cookies enable the effective management of advertising spaces that have been included on the website or platform, usually by third parties who manage the advertising spaces and allow adapting the content of the advertising to be relevant to the user and avoiding showing ads that the user has already seen, as well as limiting the number of advertising impacts we make on each user. According to their own policies, some advertising administrators may use anonymous cookies to display ads of your interest when you visit other websites or applications.
In summary, on our platform or application, we install both first-party and third-party cookies, and these can be strictly necessary (technical and preference cookies) or analytical.
- RESPONSIBILITY FOR INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH COOKIES:
The information obtained through the analytical cookies used on this platform may be shared with third parties who will act as data controllers by determining, jointly with FC Barcelona, the objectives and means of processing, and who have also signed the corresponding joint responsibility agreement that determines their respective responsibilities in compliance with the obligations imposed by the regulations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, please note that, as explained above, third-party cookies may involve the processing of personal data directly by the third parties indicated at any given time, in accordance with their own privacy policies.
