Cookie Rules
Bally Schuhfabriken GmbH and its affiliates (hereinafter referred to as “Bally”, “we”, “us”) are responsible for the collection and processing of your personal data in connection with the use of cookies on this website. This Cookie Policy explains how our website uses cookies (including similar technologies regulated by law such as, but not limited to, Local Shared Objects, commonly known as “flash cookies”, web beacons or bugs, including clear GIFs, etc.) in order to provide you with clear and relevant information about the choices you have in monitoring what happens when you use our website.
It is possible that the information collected through a cookie or otherwise obtained contains personal data. If this is the case, Bally’s privacy policy is applicable to the processing of such data. The privacy policy can be found here.
When the installation of cookies is based on consent (as set out below), this consent can be freely revoked at any time by following the instructions in this document.
Find more information on the use of cookies on websites at www.allaboutcookies.org.
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files sent to the user’s terminal equipment (usually their browser) by the sites they visit; they are stored in the user’s terminal equipment and then transmitted back to the websites on the user’s subsequent visits to those sites.
We use them mainly to provide you with a correct or better browsing experience and to collect statistical data to optimise the functionality of the site. Any additional information, including information enabling us to offer you promotional advertisements based on your interests, will only be saved with your prior consent.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DO NOT ACCEPT COOKIES?
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the proper functioning of the website and do not require the user’s consent, such as those that ensure the fast and efficient loading of the content of a page by distributing the workload over several computers, or cookies that guarantee security. Other cookies are reasonably necessary or important, but not essential, and therefore require the user’s consent. We ask for your consent (either via the “accept all cookies” button in our cookie banner or via your browser’s cookie settings) before installing these cookies (e.g. related to performance and functionality, advertising/targeting) in your device.
If the user decides to reject unnecessary cookies that require prior consent, we will not use them. If you decide to withdraw the consent you have previously given, 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 enjoy all the functions and features of our site. Similarly, you have the option of rejecting performance cookies. We will then be less able to know what you like and dislike about our website, so that we can improve it.
Managing cookie settings via your browser
You can manage (enable/disable and delete) the cookie settings on our site via the features above, but also by changing your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to manage cookies either by accepting or rejecting all cookies or by accepting only certain types of cookies. The procedure to be followed to manage and delete cookies is usually given in the online help function integrated in the browser.
Google Analytics
Our website uses the web analysis service named “Google Analytics” provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (Google). Google will analyse your use of the website on our behalf. To this end, Google cookies collect certain information about your use of our website (e.g. referring URL, web pages visited, browser type, operating system, language, screen resolution, etc.), which is then sent to Google’s servers in the USA, where it is further processed (saved and analysed). Google will use this information on our behalf in order to provide us with services relating to website activity and internet usage. The respective results will be provided to us in anonymised form. This data will be used by us for marketing purposes, in order to improve the content of our web services and the related experience.
To strengthen the security of your personal data, we use the anonymise IP function or other features provided by Google to maintain anonymity. During the process described above, the usage data will not be linked to the full IP address of the user. Further information on how IP anonymisation works can be found at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052.
