Privacy Policy

World Cup 26 is a free, unofficial tracker and knockout simulator for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to FIFA or any official tournament organizer. Match, group, and standings data is sourced from Wikipedia and may be incomplete or out of date.

We do not collect personal information. There are no user accounts, sign-ups, logins, or profiles, and we do not ask for your name, email address, or any other identifying details to use the site.

We do not run our own analytics or tracking. We do not sell or share any personal data, because we do not collect it.

When you fill in the knockout bracket simulator, your predictions are stored locally in your own browser using localStorage. This data stays on your device — it is never uploaded to us or to any third party.

The only time prediction data leaves your browser is when you trigger a simulation: the relevant inputs are sent to our stateless /simulate API, which computes the resulting bracket and returns it without storing anything. You can clear your saved predictions at any time by clearing your browser's site data for this domain.

This site is supported by advertising served through Google AdSense. To serve and measure ads, Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies, including the Google advertising / DART cookie, which enables Google and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. These vendors may collect information such as your IP address, device and browser type, and interactions with ads.

You can grant, decline, or change your consent choices through that notice and through the Google Ads Settings linked above. Where required, ads will be served in a non-personalized manner if you do not consent to personalization.

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
