Who we are
WorldCupPass.com is an independent guide to the FIFA World Cup 2026. For any privacy-related question, email contact.worldcuppass@gmail.com with the subject [Privacy].
Information we collect
We collect two kinds of information.
Information you give us directly. When you email us or leave a comment, we receive your name, email address and the content of your message. We use this only to reply to you.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the site, our servers and analytics tools log:
- Your IP address (anonymized where possible)
- Browser type and version
- Operating system and device type
- Pages viewed and time on page
- Referring website
- Approximate location based on IP (country or region level)
This data helps us understand how readers use the site and fix problems.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies. Some are essential for the site to work. Others help us measure traffic or serve relevant ads.
The main categories we use:
- Essential cookies for site navigation and security
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) for traffic measurement
- Advertising cookies (Google AdSense and partners) for ad personalization
- Affiliate cookies for tracking referral purchases
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Some site features may not work properly if you do.
Advertising
WorldCupPass.com is supported by display advertising. Google AdSense is our primary ad partner.
Google and its third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info for general opt-out options.
Third-party ad servers may use technology in their advertisements that sends a notification directly to your browser when an ad is shown. They automatically receive your IP address. WorldCupPass.com has no access to or control over cookies set by third-party advertisers.
For more on how Google uses data, see Google’s Privacy & Terms.
Affiliate disclosure
WorldCupPass.com participates in affiliate programs with ticket resellers, VPN providers and streaming services.
When you click an affiliate link and complete a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate networks may set cookies to track referrals. These cookies do not collect personal information beyond what is needed to attribute the referral.
Affiliate relationships never decide which products we cover or how we cover them.

- Operate and maintain the site
- Reply to your emails or comments
- Measure traffic and improve content
- Serve relevant advertising
- Track affiliate referrals
- Detect and prevent fraud, spam or abuse
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information.
How we share your information
We share information only in these limited cases:
- Service providers (hosting, analytics, ad networks, email tools) who process data on our behalf
- Legal compliance when required by law, court order or government request
- Business transfers if the site is sold, merged or reorganized

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you

Readers in the EU and UK (GDPR). You have all the rights listed above. Our legal basis for processing is your consent (cookies, marketing) or our legitimate interest (site security, basic analytics).
Readers in California (CCPA/CPRA). You have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense, but advertising cookies may qualify as “sharing” under California law. You can opt out using the methods described in the Advertising section.
To exercise any of these rights, email contact.worldcuppass@gmail.com with the subject [Privacy].
Data retention
We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law. Email correspondence is typically kept for up to 24 months. Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics defaults.
Children’s privacy
WorldCupPass.com is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, email us and we will delete it.
Data security
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International transfers
Our servers and service providers may be located outside your country of residence. By using the site, you consent to your data being transferred to and processed in those countries.
