2. Third-Party Services

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (Google LLC) to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. We use this information to improve our website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information.

Google's use of data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense (Google LLC) to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet. This allows Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

• Google may use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads
• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings
• You may opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies by visiting Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page

Adsterra

We may use Adsterra as an alternative advertising provider. Adsterra may use cookies and tracking technologies to serve relevant advertisements. Please refer to Adsterra's Privacy Policy for more information.

Match Data API

Match schedules, results and standings are fetched from our own server at wc2026.gbb.vn. No personal data is transmitted in these requests.

3. Cookies

We do not use cookies directly for our own purposes. However, third-party services we use (Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Adsterra) may place cookies on your device to collect information. These cookies may include:

• Analytics cookies — used by Google Analytics to track page visits and user behaviour
• Advertising cookies — used by Google AdSense and Adsterra to serve relevant ads

5. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete it.

6. Data Security

All data cached on your device is stored locally and is not transmitted externally. Our server connections use HTTPS to ensure data is transmitted securely. We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:

• The right to access personal data held about you

Since we do not collect personal data directly, most of these rights apply to data held by our third-party partners (Google, Adsterra). Please refer to their respective privacy policies to exercise these rights.
