Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 27, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how MarbleMap.co (“MarbleMap”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our websites, products, and services that link to this policy (collectively, the “Services”). MarbleMap.co is owned and operated by Fusapp OÜ (Estonia). For how we process personal data more generally, please see our Privacy Policy.
1) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when a website loads in your browser. They are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner are called first‑party cookies; cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called third‑party cookies.
We also use related technologies such as local storage, pixels, SDKs, and tags. We refer to all of these collectively as “cookies” in this policy.
2) Who is responsible for cookies on MarbleMap?
Controller/Operator: Fusapp OÜ (operating MarbleMap.co)
3) How and why we use cookies
We use cookies to:
Provide the service (e.g., security, load balancing, account sign‑in, session management).
Remember your choices (e.g., language, region, UI preferences).
Measure performance (e.g., analytics to understand traffic and feature usage).
Improve and personalize (e.g., content relevance, A/B testing).
Deliver and measure marketing (only if you consent in applicable regions).
4) Categories of cookies we use
Strictly Necessary – Required for the site to function (e.g., page navigation, secure areas, fraud prevention). These cannot be switched off in our systems, though you can block them in your browser; parts of the site may then not work.
Performance / Analytics – Help us count visits and traffic sources so that we can measure and improve performance. If you do not allow these, we will not know when you have visited our site and cannot monitor performance.
Functional – Enable enhanced functionality and personalization (e.g., remembering settings). If you do not allow these, some or all of these services may not function properly.
Advertising / Targeting – May be set through our site by us or our partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. If you do not allow these, you will experience less targeted advertising.
Note: The specific cookies we use may vary over time as we update or add Services.

6) Your choices: consent and control
Consent manager: On your first visit (and periodically after), you may see our cookie banner. You can accept all, reject non‑essential cookies, or manage granular choices at any time via Cookie Settings (link in the footer or banner).
Browser controls: You can block or delete cookies via your browser settings. Doing so may affect site functionality. For guidance, see your browser’s help pages.
Mobile settings: Mobile OS settings may allow you to limit tracking or reset advertising IDs.
Email/web beacons: You can disable image loading in your email client to limit pixel tracking in marketing emails.
7) Legal basis (where applicable)
For strictly necessary cookies, our legal basis is legitimate interests in providing a secure, functioning service.
For all other cookies, our legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time via Cookie Settings.
8) Global Privacy Control (GPC) & Do Not Track
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we will make reasonable efforts to honor it where required by applicable law, by treating it as an opt‑out of targeted advertising or selling/sharing of personal information (as those terms are defined in certain jurisdictions). Traditional Do Not Track (DNT) signals are not consistently supported by industry standards; however, you may still control cookies via the methods above.
9) Third‑party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us (for example: analytics, A/B testing, security/CDN, payment processing, customer support/chat). These providers may use their cookies to recognize your device across websites. Please review their policies for details. Where required, we obtain your consent before enabling these cookies.
10) Retention
Cookies persist for a session or for a persistent period (days to months/years). We keep cookie data no longer than necessary for the purposes described above. See Cookie Settings for current lifetimes.
11) International transfers
Where cookie‑derived personal data is transferred internationally, we use appropriate safeguards as required by law (e.g., standard contractual clauses).
12) Children
Our Services are not directed to children and we do not knowingly place cookies to profile children.
13) Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time (for example, to reflect changes to cookies we use or legal requirements). We will post the updated version and revise the “Last updated” date above. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice where required.
