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.

Cookies can be installed directly by us, with our website domain (“Bally’s cookies”) or by third-party providers (“third-party cookies”).

Some cookies can be persistently stored in the user’s device until their expiration or deletion by the user and other can be automatically eliminated any time the website browsing session ends or when the browser is closed (“session cookies”).

Depending on their purpose, cookies may be distinguished into two major groups: “technical” cookies and “profiling” cookies, as better illustrated below:

Technical cookies are those used exclusively with a view to carrying out the transmission of a communication on a digital/electronic network, or insofar as this is strictly necessary to the electronic service provider that has been explicitly requested by the user to provide the said service. These cookies can be divided into:

• browsing cookies, which guarantee a regular browsing experience on a website (e.g. allowing the access to restricted areas); disabling these cookies may impair the user’s browsing experience and prevent some web page to be displayed properly;
• analytics cookies, which anonymously analyse the use of a website (e.g. the number of visitors of clicks for each webpage) for statistical survey and optimization purposes; disabling these cookies will not impair the user’s browsing experience;
• functional cookies, which enable additional functionalities such as saving the user’s preferences and settings, such as language, so as to enhance the quality of service; disabling these cookies will not impair the user’s browsing experience, but will prevent the user to benefit of the functionalities offered by these types of cookies.

Profiling cookies are aimed at creating user profiles. They are used to send ads messages in line with the preferences shown by the user during navigation. A website can operate without them without impairing in any way the user’s browsing experience.

These cookies require the users’ informed consent to be installed.

Below you may find a list of the cookies that are most commonly used by Bally, along with an explanation of how they are each used.

Bally also uses third-party cookies from other providers as listed and described below.

The installation of profiling, retargeting, analytic and social media cookies belonging to third parties, as well as any other activity relating to such cookies, including collection and processing of information, shall be the responsibility of such third parties.

As indicated on the banner that appeared upon your first visit to our website, your consent to the use of cookies shall be collected when you click on the I ACCEPT button or close the banner.

Please note that we may keep record of your consent by means of a technical cookie, so that the aforementioned banner may not be displayed in your subsequent visits. Notwithstanding, we shall ask you to renew your choice (by the appearance of a new banner) every 12 months and keep record of your previous consents only to prove compliance with the law for so long as the applicable statute of limitation will require.

In any case and at any time, you may freely decide to block the setting of third-party and profiling cookies or to withdraw any previously given consent without affecting your ability to visit the website and avail of the relevant contents.

You may decide whether you want to allow cookies to be installed or not also by using your browser’s setting area.

However, please be reminded that disabling one or more technical cookies may impair certain features of this website (in particular, browsing cookies are necessary for the proper operation of the basic features of the website).

It is possible to disable/enable or delete the cookies at any time by using the settings of your Web browser. In particular, if you do not wish to receive cookies, it is possible to set your own browser to inform you of the presence of a cookie, thus allowing you to decide whether to accept it or not; you may also automatically refuse all the cookies by enabling the specific browser option.
