Provision of this information is voluntary. If an individual chooses not to provide it, IGT may not be able to respond to requests for further information or provide access to certain services.
IGT collects online and technical information when an individual uses the website e.g. IP address, device identifiers, usernames and password, browser information, web server logs, browsing data, viewing data, cookies, web beacons, clear gifs and pixel tags. If an individual configures their settings to prevent the capture of this information, certain features of the website may not work so well.

Cookies and other web technologies
The website uses web technologies, which may include cookies and similar technologies (e.g. web beacons, plug ins, APIs, local shared objects, pixels etc.) to gather information which helps IGT understand how our website is used. A cookie is a small text file composed of letters and numbers that is stored on an individual’s device. A cookie may be persistent to keep a user’s profile and preferences or may expire at the end of a browser session. The website uses non-persistent cookies (which expire at the end of the browser session) to determine an individual’s usage of this website.
The website uses four types of cookies - strictly necessary cookies, functional cookies, performance cookies, and advertising cookies:
(1) Strictly necessary cookies - Some cookies are always on when an individual visits the website and cannot be turned them off unless browser settings are used. These are called “strictly necessary cookies”. IGT uses them to make sure its digital services work correctly and are meeting audience needs and interests.
(2) Performance cookies - These cookies allow counting of visits and traffic sources so IGT can measure and improve the performance of the website. They provide information about which pages are the most and least popular and about how visitors move around the website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If an individual does not allow these cookies IGT will not know when that individual has visited the website and will not be able to monitor aggregate usage patterns and to personalize and otherwise operate the services.
(3) Functional cookies - These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by IGT or by third party providers whose services are used on the website. If an individual does not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
(4) Targeting cookies - These cookies may be set through the site by IGT’s advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of an individual’s interests and show that person relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying an individual’s browser and internet device. If an individual does not allow these cookies, they will experience less targeted advertising.
