Cookie Policy
Updated: May 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. In addition to cookies, we use similar technologies such as browser-based local storage (localStorage) and session storage (sessionStorage) to save your game state and consent for the duration of a session.
Cookies cannot execute code or deliver viruses. They help keep Lindenberg Arcade running, remember your settings, and help us understand how visitors use our games.
2. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies to keep Lindenberg Arcade operational, to remember your age verification and consent, and to understand anonymously how the site is used. This allows us to improve your experience without requiring you to re-enter the same information every time you visit.
3. Cookie Categories We Use
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Core site functionality, security, age verification, and consent storage. | __age_ok, __cc_v1 | Session – 12 months. No consent required. |
| Performance / Analytics | Anonymous traffic measurement to improve the site. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not set identifying cookies. | __cf_bm | Up to 30 days. Set only with consent. |
| Functional | Remembers UI preferences such as in-game sound settings and accepted age verification. | __age_ok (persistent), localStorage keys | Up to 12 months. Set only with consent. |
| Advertising / Targeting | The site may include third-party advertising cookies (Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising) when a visitor arrives via a paid campaign. These are only set after your consent. | Google Ads cookies, Microsoft Ads cookies | Up to 13 months. Set only with consent. |
4. Legal Basis
Our use of cookies is based on the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Regulation (EU) 2016/679), the Finnish Data Protection Act (1050/2018), and the cookie provisions under the Act on Electronic Communications Services (Traficom guidance). The supervisory authority is the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuoja.fi).
Essential cookies are based on our legitimate interest — the site cannot function technically without them. All other cookie categories are only set when you have given your explicit consent. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
5. Managing Cookies on Lindenberg Arcade
When you visit the site for the first time, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can choose "Accept all" or "Essential only". Your choice is saved to the localStorage.__cc_v1 key.
You can change your choice at any time by clearing that localStorage key or deleting your browser's stored data. You can also use your browser's built-in developer tools (F12 → Application → Local Storage) to reset the value.
6. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can manage or delete cookies directly in your browser by following these instructions:
7. Third Parties
The following third parties may set cookies after your consent:
- Cloudflare — delivers and protects the site. May process IP addresses for security purposes. Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
- Google (Google Ads / Analytics) — used only with consent for tracking paid campaigns. Google Privacy Policy.
- Microsoft (Microsoft Advertising) — used only with consent for tracking paid campaigns. Microsoft Privacy Policy.
8. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honour 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 and will not set those cookies. The Do Not Track (DNT) signal is not currently supported due to the absence of a consistent standard, but GPC support provides equivalent protection on modern browsers.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time, for example when legislation changes or the service evolves. The "Updated" date at the top of the page indicates when the most recent change was made. We recommend reviewing the policy periodically.
