Cookie Policy
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are used to remember your settings, analyse traffic and provide you with a better experience. In addition to cookies, we use similar technologies such as local storage (localStorage) and session storage (sessionStorage) to maintain game state and consent choices between page loads.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies to keep Bella Marca running, remember your preferences and understand how visitors use our games. No cookies are used to identify you personally.

4. Legal basis
Our use of cookies is governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as implemented in applicable national law, along with the relevant electronic communications legislation and the supervisory authority's guidelines on cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies are processed on the basis of legitimate interest — they are essential for the website to function and do not require consent. All other categories are only set after you have actively consented via our banner. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. The national supervisory authority is Datatilsynet (datatilsynet.no).
5. How to manage cookies on Bella Marca
When you visit Bella Marca for the first time, a consent banner is displayed with "Accept all" and "Necessary only" options. Your choice is stored in localStorage.__cc_v1. You can change your choice at any time by deleting that key in your browser's developer tools under Application → Local Storage, or by using your browser's built-in tools to clear stored data.
6. How to manage cookies in your browser
You can also delete or block cookies directly in your browser:
7. Third-party cookies and services
The following third parties may set cookies on Bella Marca with your consent:
- Cloudflare — CDN, security and anonymised web analytics. Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
- Google — Google Analytics and Google Ads (consent only, and only when arriving via a paid campaign). Google Privacy Policy.
- Microsoft — Microsoft Advertising (consent only, and only when arriving via a paid campaign). Microsoft Privacy Statement.
8. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Bella Marca respects the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a withdrawal of consent for analytics and advertising cookies. We do not take any specific action in response to DNT headers, as there is no universally accepted standard, but the GPC signal provides you with an effective mechanism to limit tracking.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page shows the most recent revision. Material changes will be announced via the banner on the website.
