Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the website owners. Bwin uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with our services. These files contain data that can be retrieved by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

Bwin uses cookies for several purposes. These include ensuring the proper functioning of our website, personalising your experience, analysing site traffic, and delivering targeted advertising. We categorise the cookies we use into several types, each serving a specific function to improve your interaction with Bwin. Understanding how we use these cookies can help you make informed decisions about your privacy settings. Our use of cookies is always in compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Essential cookies, also known as strictly necessary cookies, are fundamental to the operation of the Bwin website. Without these cookies, certain core functionalities, such as logging into secure areas, managing your betting account, or making deposits and withdrawals, would not be possible. They enable you to move around the website and use its features. These cookies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing purposes or remember where you have been on the internet. Consent is not typically required for these cookies as they are indispensable for the service you have requested.

• Session Management: These cookies maintain your login state throughout your visit, preventing you from having to log in repeatedly.
• Security: They help in identifying and preventing security risks, ensuring the safety of your account and transactions on Bwin.
• Compliance: Certain cookies are used to ensure we comply with our regulatory obligations, such as age verification.

Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the Bwin website. This includes data such as which pages are visited most often, the time spent on each page, and if users encounter error messages. This information is aggregated and anonymous, meaning it cannot be used to identify you personally. We use this data to understand and improve the performance and design of our website. By analysing these insights, Bwin can optimise content and user pathways, making your experience more efficient and enjoyable.

• Website Performance: We monitor site speed and loading times to ensure a smooth user experience.
• User Behaviour: We track how users navigate through Bwin to identify popular features and areas for improvement.
• Content Optimisation: Data helps us understand what content is most engaging, allowing us to tailor our offerings.

Functional cookies allow the Bwin website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, these cookies can remember your username, language preference, or the region you are in. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customise. The information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. Their purpose is to improve your experience by making it more convenient and tailored to your preferences.

• Language Preferences: Bwin remembers your chosen language for future visits.
• Region Selection: Your preferred geographical region settings are stored.
• Personalised Settings: Customisations you make to the site layout or display options are retained.

Marketing and advertising cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies are usually placed by advertising networks with Bwin's permission. They remember that you have visited our website and this information may be shared with other organisations, such as advertisers. This allows Bwin to present you with relevant offers and promotions both on our site and across the internet.

• Targeted Advertising: Displays Bwin advertisements on other websites based on your interests.
• Campaign Performance: Helps us understand which marketing efforts are most effective.
• Retargeting: Reminds you of Bwin's services if you have previously shown interest.

In addition to our own cookies, Bwin also uses various third-party cookies for reporting usage statistics, delivering advertisements, and other purposes. These cookies are set by a domain different from the one you are visiting. For example, when you visit Bwin, a cookie might be placed by Google Analytics or an advertising partner. We do not control the setting of these cookies, so we suggest you check the third-party websites for more information about their cookies and how to manage them. We carefully select our third-party partners to ensure they adhere to high standards of data protection and privacy.

The duration for which a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a "session" or "persistent" cookie. Session cookies are temporary and are deleted from your device once you close your web browser. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie's parameters, or until you manually delete them. The expiry period for persistent cookies used by Bwin can vary, ranging from a few hours to several years, depending on their purpose. For instance, some functional cookies might last longer to remember your preferences over extended periods, while advertising cookies may have shorter lifespans.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. You can also delete cookies that have already been set. Please note that if you choose to disable or delete cookies, this may affect the functionality of the Bwin website and your user experience. Some features may not work as intended, and you may not be able to access certain parts of our site. Instructions for managing cookies are typically found in your browser's "Help" or "Settings" menu. You can also find more detailed information on managing cookies at websites like AllAboutCookies.org.

• Browser Settings: Adjust your browser's privacy settings to accept, reject, or delete cookies.
• Opt-Out Tools: Some third-party cookie providers offer specific opt-out mechanisms.
• Consequences of Disabling: Be aware that disabling cookies may impair your experience on Bwin.

"Do Not Track" (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on the DNT signal, the browser sends a message to websites requesting that they not track the user. Bwin currently does not respond to DNT signals. This is because there is no universally accepted standard for how companies should interpret or respond to DNT signals. We continue to monitor developments around DNT and other privacy technologies. In the meantime, you can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings and the other methods outlined in this policy.

Bwin may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of the Bwin website after any such changes indicates your acceptance of the revised Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies or this Cookie Policy, please do not hesitate to contact us. You can reach our customer support team through the contact methods provided on the Bwin website. We are committed to addressing your inquiries and ensuring transparency regarding our data practices. Our dedicated team is available to assist you with any privacy-related matters.
