The FIBA website and apps (“FIBA Digital platforms”) are operated by The Fédération Internationale de Basketball, Route Suisse, 5, PO Box 29, 1295 Mies, Switzerland (“FIBA”).
When you visit FIBA digital platforms, information relating to the pages you look at may be saved in so-called cookies that are stored on the device that is being used to access the FIBA digital platforms, or using similar technologies such as tracking pixels. This cookie policy explains what cookies and tracking pixels are, the cookies and tracking pixels we use, what we use them for, and how you can adjust your settings in relation to the cookies and tracking pixels we use.
This cookie policy should be read together with our FIBA Privacy Policy, which sets out how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information generally, as well as your rights in relation to your personal information and details of how to contact us and the relevant supervisory authorities if you have a complaint.
We may change this cookie policy from time to time and publish updated versions to the applicable FIBA digital platforms, together with notices of changes where appropriate.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data (text file) that a website – when visited by a user – asks your browser to store on your device in order to remember information about you, such as your language preference or login information. Those cookies are set by us and called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts.
Why do we use cookies?
There are different types of cookies that may be saved on your device while browsing the FIBA digital platforms. The intended purpose of each is described below.
What are tracking pixels?
In addition to the different cookies described below, the FIBA digital platforms may use so-called tracking pixels to monitor the effectiveness of various elements of the FIBA digital platforms (including advertising elements). Tracking pixels are very small 1x1 pixel images integrated into the code of the FIBA digital platforms.
When you visit FIBA digital platforms, tracking pixels send a limited amount of information to the pixel server. This information is used only for statistical purposes in relation to (i) the number of different users of the FIBA digital platforms; (ii) the number and type of pages visited; and (iii) the effectiveness of advertising strategies. The information collected may include, for example, match locations browsed, match dates browsed, ticket categories browsed, your browser language, your IP address and your location data (for example, country of residency).
The cookies and tracking pixels we use
For more information about the cookies and tracking pixel we use, please refer to the below list:
