Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Dullfish Studio ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website coreshellgame.com (the "Website").

We believe in minimal data collection. Our Website uses only essential local storage for basic functionality—we do not use third-party analytics, advertising cookies, or tracking technologies.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

Local Storage and Session Storage are similar technologies that allow websites to store data in your browser. Unlike cookies, this data is not sent to the server with every request.

3. Technologies We Use

Our Website currently uses the following browser storage:

4. Categories of Storage

4.1 Strictly Necessary

All storage we use is strictly necessary for the basic functioning of the Website. These cannot be disabled as they are essential for the Website to work properly.

• Cookie Consent: Remembers your preference so we don't ask you repeatedly
• Region Detection: Ensures you see the correct legal information for your region
• Cloudflare Security: Filters malicious traffic and helps keep the Website available

4.2 Analytics Cookies

We do not use any analytics cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Mixpanel, or any other third-party analytics service on our Website.

4.3 Advertising/Marketing Cookies

We do not use any advertising or marketing cookies. We do not track you across websites or display targeted advertisements.

4.4 Social Media Cookies

We do not use social media cookies or embed social media tracking widgets.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We use Cloudflare as a security and performance provider. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies (for example cf_clearance and __cf_bm) to protect against malicious traffic.

We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, or social media tracking cookies.

6. How to Manage Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Here's how:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions

You can also clear localStorage and sessionStorage through your browser's developer tools (usually F12 → Application → Storage).

Note: If you delete our consent preference, the cookie consent banner will appear again on your next visit (for EU/UK/California users).

7. Legal Basis and Acknowledgment

Strictly necessary cookies — including Cloudflare security cookies — are exempt from consent requirements under Article 5(3) of the EU ePrivacy Directive. We display this notice for transparency only.

If you are in the EU, UK, or California, you will be asked to acknowledge this notice before using the Website. If you do not acknowledge, you will not be able to access the site, because these cookies and local storage items cannot be disabled without breaking core Website functionality.

You can reset your acknowledgment at any time on the Manage Consent page.

8. Future Changes

We may add additional features to our Website in the future that require new cookies or storage. If we do, we will:

• Update this Cookie Policy
• Increment our consent version number
• Ask for your consent again (the cookie banner will reappear)

We are committed to transparency and will never add tracking or advertising cookies without clear disclosure and consent.

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that lets you tell websites you do not want to be tracked. Since we do not track users in the first place, our Website behaves the same regardless of your DNT setting.
