Vamos Poker Tour

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Kikuxo Events LTD (hereinafter, “VPT”, the “Controller” or “we”) uses cookies and similar technologies on the official Vamos Poker Tour website https://www.vamospokertour.com/ (hereinafter, the “Website”).

This Policy is complementary to and forms an integral part of our Privacy Policy, available at https://www.vamospokertour.com/cookies-policy/, and our Terms and Conditions, available at https://www.vamospokertour.com/terms-and-conditions/.

By using the Website, the User acknowledges having been informed about the use of cookies as described in this Policy. The use of non-essential cookies requires the User’s prior consent, which may be granted, refused or modified at any time through the cookie consent banner or the cookie settings panel.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on the User’s device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when they are visited. Cookies allow the website to recognise the User’s device, remember their preferences, analyse browsing behaviour and improve the overall user experience.

In addition to cookies, this Policy also covers other similar technologies that may be used on the Website, including:

Pixels and web beacons: small invisible images embedded in pages or emails to track interactions. Local storage and session storage: browser-based storage mechanisms that allow data to be saved locally on the User’s device. Tags and scripts: small pieces of code, often provided by third parties, used for analytics, advertising or functional purposes. Fingerprinting techniques: methods that identify a device based on a combination of its technical characteristics.

For simplicity, in this Policy all of these technologies are collectively referred to as “cookies”.

3. Who sets the cookies?

Cookies may be set by:

3.1. First-party cookies: placed by VPT directly through the Website domain.

3.2. Third-party cookies: placed by external service providers (analytics, advertising, social media, video platforms, etc.) when the User visits the Website. These third parties may process the User’s data under their own privacy policies, which we recommend reviewing.

4. Types of cookies we use

The Website uses the following categories of cookies, classified according to their purpose and duration:

4.1. By purpose

1. a) Strictly necessary cookies (technical cookies). Essential for the proper functioning of the Website. They allow basic functions such as user authentication, session management, security, load balancing and access to restricted areas. These cookies do not require the User’s consent, as they are necessary for the provision of the service expressly requested by the User.
2. b) Preference cookies (functional cookies). Allow the Website to remember choices made by the User (language, region, display settings, etc.) to provide a more personalised experience. These cookies require the User’s consent.
3. c) Analytics cookies. Allow us to measure and analyse the use of the Website (visits, pages viewed, browsing behaviour, sources of traffic, etc.) in order to improve its performance and content. We may use first-party and third-party tools such as Google Analytics, Firebase or similar. These cookies require the User’s consent.
4. d) Advertising and marketing cookies. Used to display personalised advertising on the Website and on third-party platforms based on the User’s interests and browsing behaviour, as well as to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies require the User’s consent.
5. e) Social media cookies. Set by external social media platforms (e.g. Meta, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn) when the User interacts with embedded social content (videos, “share” or “like” buttons, embedded posts, etc.). These cookies require the User’s consent and are governed by the privacy policies of the respective platforms.

4.2. By duration

Session cookies: automatically deleted when the User closes the browser. Persistent cookies: remain on the User’s device for a set period of time or until manually deleted, in accordance with applicable regulations (typically no longer than 24 months for non-essential cookies).

5. Cookies used on the Website

The Website uses a combination of first-party and third-party cookies, including strictly necessary, preference, analytics, advertising and social media cookies.

The complete and up-to-date list of cookies — including their name, provider, purpose and duration — is available at any time in the cookie settings panel, accessible from the Website footer.

6. Legal basis for the use of cookies

The legal basis for the use of cookies depends on their type:

Strictly necessary cookies: their use is based on the legitimate interest of the Controller in providing a functional and secure website (Article 6.1.f GDPR), and they are exempt from the consent requirement in accordance with the ePrivacy Directive.

All other cookies (preferences, analytics, advertising, social media): their use is based on the User’s prior, informed and freely given consent (Article 6.1.a GDPR and Article 5.3 of the ePrivacy Directive).

7. Cookie consent management

7.1. Initial consent. When the User first visits the Website, a cookie consent banner is displayed allowing them to:

1. a) Accept all non-essential cookies. b) Reject all non-essential cookies. c) Configure their preferences by category.

Until the User makes a choice, no non-essential cookies will be activated, and the Website will only set strictly necessary cookies.

7.2. Withdrawing or modifying consent. The User may withdraw or modify their consent at any time by clicking on the “Cookie settings” link in the Website footer or through the corresponding link in the cookie banner. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before such withdrawal.

7.3. Renewal of consent. Consent will be requested again periodically (typically every 12 months) and whenever there are substantial changes in the cookies used.

8. How to manage cookies from the browser

In addition to the cookie settings panel of the Website, the User can manage and delete cookies directly from their browser. Each browser has its own settings; below are links to the official help pages of the most common browsers:

Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647 Mozilla Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer Apple Safari: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471/mac Microsoft Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge-63947406-40ac-c3b8-57b9-2a946a29ae09 Opera: https://help.opera.com/en/latest/web-preferences/

The User can also use private or incognito browsing modes, which generally prevent persistent cookies from being stored.

Important: disabling certain cookies may affect the proper functioning of the Website and limit the availability of some functionalities.

9. International data transfers

Some cookie providers (e.g. Google, Meta) may be established outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In such cases, international data transfers are carried out with the appropriate safeguards under Articles 44 and following of the GDPR, mainly through the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission and, where applicable, adequacy decisions (such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework for certified providers).

For more information on these transfers and their safeguards, please consult our Privacy Policy at https://www.vamospokertour.com/privacy-policy/ or contact us at info@vamospokertour.com.

10. User rights

In particular, the User has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority:
