Cookie Policy

In this Cookies Policy, we’ll walk you through how World Ratings uses cookies and similar technologies. Whenever you use our website, products, advertising services, or hop onto a platform that integrates our Services, we may collect information through cookies and similar technologies. At World Ratings, we’re committed to safeguarding the personal information we collect when you use our Services.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small file from a website that remembers some things about how you use it. It collects info like what you do on the site, your device details, and where you came from. If you signed up or you’re a subscriber, it might also take your name and email for verification.

Cookies help us make your experience better based on what you like and see how you use the site.

Aside from cookies, our Services may utilize web beacons, clear GIFs, page tags, and web bugs. These technologies are employed by websites or third-party ad servers to analyze your website usage and enhance your experience with our Services.

There are two main types of cookies:

1. Session cookies: These are active only while you’re on a website and disappear when you leave. They help the site remember you as you move around, saving you from re-entering info and keeping things secure.

2. Persistent cookies: These stick around on your device until they expire or you delete them. They often store things like your login details to make future visits smoother.

This website uses both types to make things easier for you. Cookies can also be either 1st party (made by the site you’re on) or 3rd party (made by another company). We use both to give you the best experience possible.

What We Use Cookies For

At World Ratings, we use cookies for a number of purposes, including:

• Essential Cookies: They’re crucial for our Services to work properly. They don’t track your internet activity and vanish once you close your browser.

• Functional Cookies: These remember your preferences and offer extra features. They don’t track you for ads but can help in showing relevant ones.

• Performance Cookies: They keep an eye on how well our Services are doing, like counting page views. This helps us make improvements.

• Targeted Advertising Cookies: They remember your website visits to show you ads you’re more likely to be interested in.

• Social Media Cookies: They come from social media sites and can track your interests across different sites.

These cookies help us give you a better experience online.

We won’t ever:

• Track your internet activity after you leave our sites using cookies.

• Store personal info in cookies that others could access.

• Sell or share cookie data without your consent beforehand.

Changing Your Cookie Settings

Some people feel a bit uncomfortable with websites storing info on their devices, especially if it’s done by someone else. If you’d rather not deal with cookies, you can control them by following these steps. Just remember, you might lose access to some site features if you do.

You can clear out cookies, even the ones already saved on your hard drive. Plus, you can tweak your browser settings to manage cookies. Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” option, or Global Privacy Control (GPC), which tells sites not to track you. You can turn on GPC in your browser settings. If you want to know more about GPC, please visit this link.
