COOKIES

The FIFA Online Store uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your use of the FIFA Online Store and to distinguish you from other users of the FIFA Online Store. Cookies are pieces of code that we transfer to your computer's hard disk to store or collect information.

We use these technologies to provide certain functionalities of the FIFA Online Store, such as to remember items that you put into your shopping cart while you continue to browse the FIFA Online Store, as well as to collect information about how you access and use the Website.

Other than cookies and similar technologies that are required to operate the FIFA Online Store, we will only place cookies on your device or otherwise use these technologies to collect data from your device with your consent.

You can customise your cookie preferences through our Cookie Banner or our Cookie Preference Centre tools, accessible by clicking the "cookie settings" button here:

Cookies Settings

Your consent choices will be stored for six months. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled, nor can the tools be used to block cookies on third party sites linked from the FIFA Online Store. Please consult the Cookie Notice for more information about the type of cookies and tracking technologies that we use on the FIFA Online Store and why.

THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISING

We and FIFA work with online advertising networks, social media companies and advertising partners to tailor the ads played or displayed to you through the FIFA Online Store as well as other websites, apps, or services.

Online advertising

The ads you see online are tailored to your interests based on information collected about you, including information about your age, demographic, location, as well information about your internet usage over time, such as the websites you visit, the products and pages you view and the links you click on (including links in ads played or displayed to you).

Typically, this information is collected through cookies or similar tracking technologies. When you visit the FIFA Online Store, we and FIFA will, if you give us your consent to do so, place cookies and similar tracking technologies on your device to:

identify you and your device, and share this information with the relevant advertising networks, so that they can serve you advertising based on the information those advertising networks (or the partners they work with) have about your internet usage history;

collect information about how you use the FIFA Online Store, so that when you visit another website that works with the same advertising network as us, we can play you adverts for the FIFA Online Store which are tailored to the products you have previously viewed.

Social media

We may also display targeted advertising to you through third party social media platforms, such as Facebook. These companies have interest-based advertising programs that allow us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our products while those users are on the social media platform, or to groups of other users who share similar traits, such as likely commercial interests and demographics.

Typically the information required to direct this kind of advertising is collected through cookies in a similar way to information collected for online advertising.

Controlling the ads you see online and on social media

Please see our Cookie Notice for details of the third parties that collect information about your use of the FIFA Online Store for advertising purposes.

We and FIFA will only collect and share information about your use of the FIFA Online Store for advertising purposes to the extent you have given us your consent to do so. You can also customise your preferences through our Cookie Banner or our Cookie Preference Centre tools, accessible by clicking the "cookie settings" button here:

Cookies Settings

Withholding or withdrawing consent will mean that information about your use of the FIFA Online Store:

will not be shared with advertising networks to tailor advertising you see on the FIFA Online Store or allow us to target advertising on other websites; and

will not be used by us to tailor advertising on social media.

You will still get ads when you browse the internet or social media, and those ads may still be relevant to your interests. However, this will be based on target audiences (i.e. individuals sharing certain characteristics) rather than targeting based on your actual online activity. As a result, you may see advertising targeted to your location, demographic or other information in your social media profile or the websites you visit even if you reject cookies on the FIFA Online Store.

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Your personal information is primarily processed within the UK and EEA, but we may transfer personal information from the EEA or the UK to the United States and to other countries.

The FIFA Online Store may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of others, including our partner networks, retail partners, advertisers and affiliates.
