Cookie management

1 What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences (such as language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you do not have to re-enter them every time you return.

In addition to cookies, other similar technologies (for example, web beacons, pixel tags or local storage) perform similar functions. For simplicity, we refer to all of these technologies as "cookies".

2 Why do we use cookies?

At SPARRING Labs, S.L. (hereinafter "we"), we use cookies on the PSPO Agent platform for various purposes that improve your experience and allow us to continuously optimise the service:

• Facilitate navigation: so you can move around the site without having to repeatedly enter information you have already provided.
• Optimise your experience: they store your preferences and personalise features such as language or interface options.
• Analyse site usage: they help us understand how you interact with the platform so we can improve it.
• Obtain statistics: anonymous information collected is used for statistical reports and pattern detection.
• Marketing: in some cases, they are used to show you more relevant advertising or measure campaign effectiveness.

3 Cookie types in detail

3.1. Required cookies (technical)

These cookies are essential for the platform to function correctly and cannot be disabled. They ensure basic features such as page navigation, access to secure areas and platform integrity. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website may not work properly.

3.2. Functional cookies

These cookies enable more advanced and personalised features that are not strictly necessary. They are used to store your language or interface preferences and facilitate interaction with integrated services. You can disable them, although some features may become unavailable.

3.3. Analytics cookies

They collect anonymous information about how you use the website: how long you spend, which pages you visit, which links you access from and your browsing patterns. The information collected does not directly identify you; it consists of statistical and aggregated data.

At PSPO Agent we use Google Analytics configured with anonymised IP. These cookies are only activated if you accept analytics cookies.

3.4. Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies allow us to show you more relevant advertisements and promotional content based on your interests and browsing patterns, as well as measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns that SPARRING Labs may run. These cookies may be set by third parties, such as advertising networks or marketing analytics platforms, and track your activity across different websites to build an interest profile. They are entirely optional and require your explicit consent to be activated: you can disable them at any time and continue browsing normally, although the advertising you see will be less personalised. Currently, PSPO Agent does not actively use marketing cookies, but we reserve the right to incorporate them in the future, always subject to requesting your consent beforehand.

4 Cookie list

Below is a detailed list of all cookies currently used by the PSPO Agent platform, organised by name, provider, purpose, type and duration. This list is updated whenever we add or remove cookies from our site, although exact names, providers and retention periods may vary depending on changes in technical implementation or third-party service versions. We recommend reviewing this table periodically to stay informed.

5 Managing cookies

5.1. Consent banner

When you first access our platform, a consent banner will appear allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones or customise your preferences by individually selecting which categories you wish to enable. This consent mechanism complies with the requirements of the GDPR and Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy Directive), ensuring that no non-essential cookies are installed on your device without your prior authorisation. You can change your preferences at any time by accessing the cookie management panel, which is always available from the website footer. Any changes you make to your preferences take effect immediately and remain in place until you decide to change them again or clear your browser cookies.

5.2. Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to manage cookie settings independently. You can block all cookies, delete stored cookies or set up alerts. If you decide to block all cookies (including essential ones), you may not be able to access certain parts of the platform.

6 International transfers

Some of our service providers, such as Google Analytics, may be located or store data in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) that do not offer an equivalent level of data protection to that of Europe. In these cases, SPARRING Labs ensures that all applicable legal requirements are met before authorising any international data transfer, adopting the appropriate safeguards established under the GDPR. These safeguards include Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, adequacy decisions where they exist (such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework) and transfer impact assessments that verify the destination country offers sufficient protection. You can request additional information about the safeguards applied to each transfer by writing to [email protected].

7 Providers we share data with

To provide you with our services, we share information with the following providers. We only share the minimum data necessary with each one, and all are subject to data processing agreements in accordance with the GDPR.

8 Updates

SPARRING Labs may update this Cookie Policy at any time to reflect changes in our cookie usage practices, adaptations arising from new legal or regulatory requirements, or the incorporation of new cookies, tracking technologies or third-party services. When significant changes are made to the cookies used or the purposes of processing, we will inform you through a visible notice on the platform and, where applicable, request your consent again for the affected categories. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed about how we manage cookies. The date of the last update is always indicated at the top of this Policy so you can easily verify whether changes have been made since your last visit.
