Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to the FIFA World Cup 2026 Simulator (“we”, “our”, or “the site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit this website. By using the site you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it (for example, via the contact page). The site stores your simulation results locally in your browser's localStorage — this data never leaves your device.

Like most websites, our hosting provider and third-party services may automatically receive standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, referring URLs, and pages visited. This is standard server log data.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies for the following purposes:

• Functional cookies: To remember your cookie consent preference.
• Advertising cookies: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
• Analytics: We may use anonymous analytics to understand site traffic and improve the experience.

4. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

This site uses Google AdSense, a service provided by Google LLC, to display advertisements. Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to collect data in order to serve relevant advertisements based on your browsing behaviour.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

For more information on how Google uses data when you use sites that use their services, please visit Google's Privacy & Terms.

5. How We Use Your Information

Any information collected is used solely to operate and improve the site, to display relevant advertising, and to comply with legal obligations. We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties except as required to operate the advertising services described above.

6. Your Choices

You have the following options regarding your data:

• Cookie consent: You can withdraw your cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or cookies for this site.
• Opt out of personalised ads: Visit Your Online Choices (EU) or NAI Opt Out (US).
• Browser settings: You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies.

7. Data Retention

Simulation data stored in your browser's localStorage persists until you clear it. We do not retain any personal data on our servers beyond standard server logs, which are typically retained for up to 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “last updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
