Bally Schufabriken AG and its affiliates (hereinafter “Bally”, “We”, “Us”) are responsible for the collection and processing of your personal data as they relate to cookies used in this website. This Cookie Policy will explain how our website is using cookies (including also similar technologies covered by the law such as, for example, Local Shared Objects – commonly referred to as “flash cookies”, web beacons or bugs, including transparent clear gifs etc.) in order to provide you with clear and relevant information on what choices you have in terms of controlling what happens when you access our website. 

It is possible that information collected through a cookie or obtained otherwise, contains personal data. If this is the case, Bally’s Privacy Policy is applicable on the processing of these data. The Privacy Policy can be read here.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files that are sent to the user’s terminal equipment (usually to the user’s browser) by visited websites; they are stored in the user's terminal equipment to be then re-transmitted to the websites on the user's subsequent visits to those websites. We mostly use them to offer you a proper or enhanced browsing experience and collect statistics to optimize site functionality. Any additional information, including that allowing us to deliver marketing based on your interests, shall only be stored upon your prior consent.

What happens if I reject cookies?

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the correct functioning of this website and do not require user’s consent, such as those ensuring that the content of a page loads quickly and effectively by distributing the workload across numerous computers or else those providing security. Other cookies are still reasonably necessary or important, but they are not strictly essential and, therefore, require user’s consent. For these cookies (i.e. performance and functionality, advertising/targeting), we request your consent (by the “accept all cookies” button in our cookie banner or through your browser cookie settings) before placing them on your device. 

If you decide to reject cookies that require your prior consent, we will not use such cookies. If you decide to withdraw consent that was given to us previously, we will no longer use the relevant cookies and will delete them (if they are first-party cookies). This means, however, that in the case of functional cookies, you will not be able to take advantage of all the features and functionality of our website. Similarly, it is possible for you to reject performance cookies. In that case we will be less able to learn what you like or do not like about our website, so that we can make it better.

Most browsers allow you to manage your cookies by either accepting or rejecting all cookies or accepting only certain types of cookies. The procedure for managing and deleting cookies usually can be found in your browser’s integrated help function.
