Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how The World Cup News uses cookies and similar technologies on https://theworldcupnews.com/ . It also describes the choices you have about these technologies.

By continuing to use the site after seeing our cookie banner, or by selecting your preferences in that banner, you agree to the use of cookies as described here. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time.

Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, phone or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser, remember your preferences and understand how you interact with pages and content.

Cookies may be set directly by us (“first‑party cookies”) or by third parties providing services on our site, such as analytics, advertising or embedded video providers (“third‑party cookies”).

Types of cookies we use

We use several types of cookies on The World Cup News:

  1. Strictly necessary cookies
    These cookies are essential for the site to function properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and access to areas that may require login or other technical settings. You cannot switch these cookies off in our systems, and they usually only store information needed to deliver the services you request.
  2. Performance and analytics cookies
    These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. They may collect information such as which pages are visited most often, how long visitors stay on a page, which links are clicked and whether users encounter errors.
    We use this information in aggregated form to improve content, page speed and user experience. Where we use tools like Google Analytics or similar services, the data is pseudonymised and used to generate statistics rather than identify individual users.
  3. Functional cookies
    Functional cookies allow the site to remember choices you make, such as language preferences, regional settings (for example, display of match times in your local time zone), or whether you’ve already dismissed certain banners or messages. These cookies help personalise your browsing without being used for advertising.
  4. Advertising and marketing cookies
    If we use advertising or sponsored content, these cookies may be set by us or our advertising partners. They help us measure the performance of campaigns, limit how often you see certain ads and, where applicable, show ads that are more relevant to your interests based on your interaction with the site.
    In some cases, third‑party networks (such as Google Ads or social media platforms) may use these cookies to build a profile of your interests and show you tailored ads on other websites.
  5. Social media and embedded content cookies
    Our pages may include buttons or embedded content from third‑party platforms (for example, X/Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or other social networks). These services may place their own cookies to track usage, measure engagement or link your activity on our site with your profile on their platform.

Under EU and similar privacy rules, certain cookies – particularly analytics, advertising and social media tracking cookies – can only be used with your consent. When you first visit The World Cup News, you will see a cookie banner or pop‑up that:

You can withdraw your consent or change your preferences at any time by using the “Cookie settings” link or similar control available on the site (for example, in the footer or within the banner).

How to manage or delete cookies

You can manage cookies in two ways:

  1. Through our on‑site settings
    If our cookie banner or settings tool offers granular controls, you can enable or disable non‑essential cookies (such as analytics or advertising) directly from that interface. Your choices will be stored using a cookie or similar technology so we can remember them.
  2. Through your browser settings
    Most web browsers allow you to:

If you choose to block or delete cookies, some parts of The World Cup News may not function correctly, and certain features or preferences may not be saved. For instructions, please refer to your browser’s help pages or settings (for example, Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge).

Third‑party cookies and data sharing

Some cookies on our site are set by third‑party service providers that help us with analytics, performance monitoring, advertising, video hosting or social sharing. These providers may process data about your use of the site (such as IP address, browser type, approximate location and pages visited) to provide us with aggregated statistics or to deliver ads and content on other platforms.

Where required, we only activate these cookies after you have given your consent through our cookie banner or settings. You can find more information about how these third parties handle data in their own privacy or cookie policies.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the cookies we use, legal requirements or technical improvements to the site. When we make significant changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, show a notice on the site or in the cookie banner.
