1. Under Article 24(2) of the DSA, providers are required to publish information on the average monthly active recipients of their service (the AMARS) in the European Union.

2. Under Article 27(1) of the DSA We are also providing you with information regarding our recommendation system:
Our recommendation system
We use a recommendation system to offer you a personalized experience and make navigation on our website easier.
Our recommendation system is based on your user preferences, settings and on whether you have registered as a member.
Your interactions on our website provide valuable signals that help the recommendation system predict content that you're more likely to be interested in, while also identifying content that you may be less interested in and may prefer not to watch.
The parameters (arranged by significance) that influence the recommendation system are:
— Clicks, views, likes/dislikes, page view history (if applicable/available)
— Frequency of site visits (if applicable/available)
— Comments (if applicable/available)
— Type/URL of the visiting page
— Page orientation
— Selected country and language
— Depersonalized user data (behavioral metrics when granted permission)
— Tags and categories of the visiting page
To influence the parameters and change the way our recommendation system works, you can simply take various actions on our website as described above, which will affect the content we may recommend to you.
For the Related Videos feature, we use a content linking system designed to show content that was categorized as likely related to the content you are currently viewing. In simple terms, if a particular combination of content is viewed by many users, then that content becomes categorized as related.
If you have any questions regarding our recommendation system, please contact us through our Contact us / Single point of contact.
