Privacy Policy
kickoff26 is a free, ad-supported fan site for the 2026 World Cup. This page explains what's collected, the cookies and advertising involved, and the choices you have.
Cookies & local storage
We keep a couple of small preferences in your browser — your language and whether you've hidden scores — using local storage and cookies. They're needed for the site to behave the way you set it and aren't used to track you across other sites.
Advertising
We show ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other sites. Where you allow it these ads may be personalized; otherwise you'll see non-personalized ads. Google's advertising practices are described at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Analytics
We count visitors with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is privacy-light — it doesn't set cookies or build a profile of you.
Your consent choices
If you're in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before showing personalized ads, through a Google-certified consent message. You can change or withdraw that choice at any time from the privacy options link on the page.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these, just get in touch.
