Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Worldalerts.io ("we", "us", and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website, www.worldalerts.io (the "Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Worldalerts.io) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.
2. Why do we use cookies?
We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our online properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below. The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below (the specific cookies served may vary depending on the online properties you visit):

| Functionality Cookies | These cookies allow us to remember choices you make (like your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video. |
| Advertising/Targeting Cookies | These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. |
