Privacy Policy

Who we are

goals2026.org is an independent fan website providing live scores, fixtures, standings and AI-generated predictions for the FIFA World Cup 2026. We are not affiliated with FIFA. You can contact us at a.ammar0026@gmail.com.

Information we collect

We do not require accounts and do not collect names or other directly identifying information to browse the site. The site stores:

• Timezone preference— kept in your browser's local storage so match times display in your timezone. It never leaves your device.
• Match vote fingerprint — when you vote on a match prediction, a random anonymous identifier is stored to prevent duplicate votes. It is not linked to your identity.
• Email address (optional) — only if you sign up for our free predictions newsletter. We store your email, the page you signed up from, and the signup date. It is used solely to send the newsletter, is never sold or shared, and every email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also request removal at any time via the address below.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage (pages visited, country, device type). Google Analytics sets cookies and processes data according to Google's Privacy Policy.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners use advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. Third-party vendors' use of advertising cookies is described in Google's advertising technologies policy.

Cookies

Beyond the analytics and advertising cookies described above, the site itself does not set tracking cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site remains fully functional without them.

Data sharing & retention

We do not sell or share any data we hold. Anonymous vote fingerprints are kept only for the duration of the tournament. Analytics and advertising data are retained according to Google's own policies.

Changes

We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new "last updated" date.
