What cookies are
Cookies are small pieces of information stored through a web browser. They may help a website operate, remember available choices, protect forms, measure usage or support advertising.
First-party cookies are associated with the website a visitor is using. Third-party cookies may be associated with an independently operated service enabled on that website. This explanation does not mean that both types are active on WorldFreePrizes at all times.
Similar technologies
Websites and enabled services may use technologies that perform functions similar to cookies. Depending on the current configuration, these may include:
- Local storage.
- Session storage.
- Pixels when a relevant service is enabled.
- Device or browser identifiers.
- Scripts that read or write browser information.
This list describes possible technology categories and does not claim that tracking pixels or every listed technology are currently used.
Who may set technologies
First-party technologies are associated with WorldFreePrizes and may support functions provided directly through the website.
Third-party technologies may be set or accessed by enabled providers that supply hosting, security, forms, analytics, advertising or other website functionality. Those providers may process information under their own terms and privacy policies.
The providers and technology categories present on the website can change when features are added, removed or reconfigured. Details about advertising vendors will be presented through applicable consent tools when advertising is enabled and such disclosure is required.
Strictly necessary technologies
Depending on the website configuration, necessary technologies may support:
- Delivering requested pages.
- Website and network security.
- Form operation and submission handling.
- Load balancing and availability.
- Remembering a consent status after consent tools are implemented.
- Preventing spam and automated abuse.
- Maintaining essential settings or preferences.
These technologies may be used without consent where applicable law permits because they are necessary to provide or protect a requested service. Their use should still be disclosed transparently.
Preference and functional technologies
Preference or functional technologies may remember available settings so visitors do not need to select them repeatedly.
Depending on enabled features, these technologies may remember:
- Display or interface choices.
- Available website settings.
- Language preferences.
- Consent selections after consent controls are implemented.
- Other optional functional choices.
The exact technologies depend on the features currently available and may not be active when no relevant choice is offered.
Security and anti-abuse technologies
The hosting environment, WordPress, forms or enabled security functions may process browser, device or request information to:
- Detect spam and automated submissions.
- Protect forms and website functions.
- Investigate suspicious or malicious requests.
- Maintain website availability.
- Prevent fraud, abuse and unauthorized access.
The specific technologies used can vary with the website configuration, hosting environment and safeguards that are enabled at a given time.
Forms
The Contact and Submit a Giveaway forms require technical processing to receive and manage information voluntarily provided by visitors. Form-related security or anti-spam functions may also process technical request information.
Submitting a form does not necessarily mean that a cookie is created. The exact technical behavior depends on the form configuration and any security or anti-spam features enabled at the time.
Information submitted voluntarily through a form is covered by the WorldFreePrizes Privacy Policy.
Analytics
Google Analytics is not currently enabled on WorldFreePrizes.
If an analytics service is introduced later, this policy will be updated where appropriate. Relevant consent choices will be presented where required before non-essential analytics technologies are used.
Depending on the provider and configuration, analytics may measure visits, requested pages, device information and interactions with website features. Details will be added here before or when an analytics service is enabled, as appropriate.
Google AdSense and advertising
WorldFreePrizes may display advertising through Google AdSense. The practices described in this section apply whenever Google advertising is enabled on the website.
When enabled, Google and its advertising partners may use:
- Cookies and local storage.
- IP addresses.
- Device and browser information.
- Advertising identifiers where available.
These technologies may be used to:
- Deliver advertisements.
- Measure advertising performance.
- Limit repeated advertisements.
- Prevent invalid activity, fraud and abuse.
- Produce aggregated reporting.
- Personalize advertising where permitted and consented to.
Google’s advertising technologies may use visits to WorldFreePrizes and other websites. Personalized advertising can depend on location, consent choices and user settings.
Non-personalized advertising is not based on a visitor’s past behavior, but it may still use limited technologies for purposes such as frequency control, aggregated reporting and fraud prevention. Consent may still be required for those technologies in some regions.
Google Ads Settings may allow eligible users to manage advertising personalization. Opting out of personalization does not remove all advertisements or necessarily prevent every limited advertising technology from operating.
Consent and regional choices
Where consent is legally required, relevant choices will be presented before non-essential technologies are used. Available controls may allow visitors to accept, reject or customize the purposes offered by the implemented consent system.
A cookie-settings control is not currently available because optional analytics and advertising technologies are not active. When a consent interface is implemented, consent may be withdrawn or updated through the controls provided by that interface.
Necessary storage may operate without consent where applicable law permits. When Google advertising is enabled for visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom or Switzerland, a Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the applicable transparency framework will be used where required by Google’s publisher requirements and applicable law.
Browser controls
Most web browsers provide settings that may allow visitors to:
- Block some or all cookies.
- Delete cookies already stored.
- Restrict third-party cookies.
- Clear local storage or other site data.
- Control certain tracking permissions.
Browser interfaces and available settings can change. Blocking necessary technologies may affect forms, preferences, security functions or other parts of the website.
Retention
The duration of a cookie or similar technology depends on its purpose and configuration:
- Session technologies may expire when the browser session ends.
- Persistent technologies may remain for a defined period.
- Third-party providers determine their own retention periods.
- Stored data may be removed earlier through browser or consent controls.
Technologies should remain only for as long as reasonably necessary for their stated purposes. Specific durations will be documented when confirmed technologies requiring that disclosure are enabled.
Third-party websites
Giveaway listings may direct visitors to independently operated websites. Those destinations may use their own cookies, identifiers, analytics and advertising technologies.
WorldFreePrizes does not control technologies set after a visitor leaves the website. Visitors should review the external website’s privacy and cookie information before submitting personal information.
Additional information about external destinations is available in the WorldFreePrizes Disclaimer.
Changes to this policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated when website features change, analytics is introduced, Google AdSense is enabled, consent tools are implemented, providers change or applicable requirements evolve.
The “Last updated” date will be revised when material changes are published. Visitors should review this page periodically.
