Cookie Policy

1. Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how WORL at worl.com uses cookies and similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, and device identifiers, where deployed. Read it together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Cookies are small files or identifiers used by a browser or device. Some are necessary for requested functions; others, where enabled, may support preferences, performance measurement, or advertising. This Policy must reflect technologies actually active on the Service.

2. Strictly necessary technologies

Necessary technologies may keep sessions authenticated, maintain security, remember essential consent choices, distribute traffic, prevent abuse, and preserve the integrity of account or form submissions. Blocking these technologies may prevent some features from working.

Where applicable law permits, strictly necessary technologies may operate without optional cookie consent. We do not characterize a cookie as necessary merely because it is commercially useful.

3. Preference and functionality technologies

Where used, preference technologies remember choices such as display settings, language, or interface preferences. Depending on their function and applicable law, these may require consent. Some preferences may instead be stored in your account.

4. Analytics and performance technologies

Where enabled, analytics technologies may help us understand page usage, navigation, errors, feature adoption, and Service performance. They may use identifiers and technical data. We use consent or another lawful mechanism where required and do not activate non-essential analytics before required consent.

5. Advertising and third-party technologies

If advertising, embedded media, social sharing, or third-party measurement is enabled, relevant providers may set or read identifiers subject to their own practices and applicable consent requirements. The presence of a third-party integration does not by itself authorize unrestricted tracking.

Any actual third-party provider, cookie name, purpose, and retention information required by law should be disclosed in the live cookie settings or accompanying inventory. Do not publish a generic statement as a substitute for an accurate inventory.

6. Consent and control

Where consent is required, we request it before placing or reading non-essential cookies. You can accept, reject, or change optional categories using the cookie controls provided on the Service, where available and required. Withdrawal of consent does not retroactively invalidate earlier lawful processing.

You can also manage cookies through your browser, delete stored data, and use browser privacy controls. These choices may affect site functionality. Browser settings alone may not control every technology, and we do not promise to recognize every preference signal unless legally required.

7. Duration and retention

Cookies may be session-based, expiring when the browser session ends, or persistent for a defined period. Their lifetimes vary by purpose and configuration. Security logs and information obtained through cookies may be retained separately under the Privacy Policy.

An accurate, maintained inventory of active cookies, providers, and expiration periods should be made available through the Service where required; this template does not invent specific cookie names or durations.

8. Changes and contact

We may modify technologies and this Policy as the Service develops, subject to applicable notice and consent obligations. The revised Policy will show an updated effective date.

Questions about tracking or privacy requests may be submitted through the Contact page. Content and account obligations are set out in the Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
