How does this rule out hidden variables?

I am aware of Bells inequality, but how do they show that for this specific experiment there were no hidden variables in play?

They test a CHSH Bell inequality in this paper. This rules out local hidden variable theories. Non-local hidden variable (NLHV) theories are another matter entirely. Indeed, some NLHV theories may reproduce the predictions of quantum theory exactly.
