This Cookie Policy explains how Grupo Winners (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website, interact with our digital platforms, or engage with our online services. This policy works in conjunction with our Privacy Policy to inform you about how your personal data and technical browsing information are collected, processed, and protected.

1. What Are Cookies and Tracking Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded and stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other web-enabled device when you visit a website. They enable the website to recognize your device, remember your preferences, enhance site navigation, perform analytics, and deliver tailored content or advertisements.

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar tracking technologies:

• Web Beacons / Pixel Tags: Small, transparent graphic images embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to track whether content has been viewed or opened.

• Local Storage (HTML5 / Session Storage): Web technology that allows websites to store data locally within your browser for improved loading performance and persistence.

• Software Development Kits (SDKs): Code blocks embedded in digital tools and mobile interfaces that facilitate analytics, crash reporting, and third-party service integration.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify the cookies deployed across our website into four primary operational categories:

A. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies

These cookies are mandatory for the core operation of our website. They enable essential functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, session maintenance, load balancing, and network security. Without these cookies, basic services you request cannot be delivered. Under applicable privacy laws, essential cookies do not require user consent.

B. Performance & Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect aggregated, statistical data on how visitors interact with our website. They measure metrics such as page load speeds, error rates, popular pages, referral sources, and user navigation paths. All data collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymized, helping us optimize site speed, architecture, and user experience.

C. Functionality & Preference Cookies

Functionality cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as preferred language, geographical region, layout settings, or login credentials) to provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also enable interactive features such as embedded chat widgets or user feedback forms.

D. Targeting & Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be set through our site by us or our third-party advertising partners. They are used to build a profile of your interests, display relevant advertisements on other websites, limit the frequency of ads shown to you, and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

3. Cookie Inventory & Specifications

The following table provides an illustrative overview of the primary cookies used on our digital platforms:

4. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

• First-Party Cookies: Set directly by Grupo Winners from the domain you are visiting (www.grupowinners.com). They enable site functionality and allow us to collect internal usage telemetry.

• Third-Party Cookies: Placed on your device by external service providers, analytics tools, or advertising networks (e.g., Google, Meta, LinkedIn). These third parties process data according to their respective independent privacy and cookie policies.

5. Session vs. Persistent Cookies

• Session Cookies: Temporary cookies stored in your browser’s memory that automatically expire when you close your web browser or end your session.

• Persistent Cookies: Remain stored on your device for a specified period (ranging from days to several months or years) or until you manually clear your browser cache.

6. Managing and Controlling Your Cookie Preferences

You have full control over how cookies are stored on your device. You can exercise and update your cookie preferences through the following mechanisms:

A. Website Cookie Consent Banner & Settings

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner will appear allowing you to Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or Customize Preferences (Analytics, Functionality, Advertising). You can revisit and alter these settings at any time by clicking the “Cookie Preferences” link in our website footer.

B. Browser-Level Controls

Most web browsers allow you to manage or block cookies directly through their settings interface. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect the layout and functionality of our website. Browser-specific instructions:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies

• Mozilla Firefox: Preferences > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection

• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Block all cookies / Prevent cross-site tracking

• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies

C. Industry Opt-Out Tools

You can opt out of targeted digital advertising across ad networks through independent industry consumer choice programs:

• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): https://optout.aboutads.info/

• European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA): https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/

• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): https://optout.networkadvertising.org/

7. Do Not Track (DNT) & Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Some browsers feature “Do Not Track” (DNT) or “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) settings. Grupo Winners recognizes and honors standard GPC preference signals. When a GPC opt-out signal is detected from your browser, our system automatically disables non-essential analytics and marketing cookies for your session.

8. Legal Basis and Data Protection Compliance

Our deployment of cookies complies with international data protection frameworks, including the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and applicable regional privacy statutes. Where required by law:

1. We obtain valid, informed, and explicit consent prior to activating non-essential cookies.

2. You maintain the right to withdraw your consent at any time without restriction to core website access.

3. Information collected via cookies is handled in strict compliance with our Privacy Policy.

9. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We reserve the right to amend or update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect technological advancements, operational requirements, or legal changes. Any modifications will become effective immediately upon being posted on this page, indicated by the “Last Updated” date at the top of the policy.
