5. Cookies Policy

We understand that your privacy is important to you and are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use. In the spirit of transparency, this Cookies Policy provides detailed information about how and when we use cookies on our Website.

A. Do we use cookies?

Our Website uses cookies according to the terms of this Cookie Policy.

B. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard drive by a web page server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Some of the cookies will only be used if you use certain features or select certain preferences, and some cookies will always be used. You can find out more about each cookie by viewing our current cookie list below. We update this list periodically, so there may be additional cookies that are not yet listed.

C. Why would we use cookies?

We use cookies and other similar identifiers only to compile aggregate data about Website traffic and site interaction to offer better user experiences and tools in the future.

D. What types of cookies do we use?

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly and enable basic features such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the site. They do not collect Personal Information.
• Analytical/Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to analyze how visitors use the Website, which helps us improve its functionality and performance.
• Functional Cookies: These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization of the Website. They may remember your preferences, such as the wallet you previously used to connect.

E. How to disable or opt out of cookies?

F. “Do Not Track” (DNT) and Universal Opt-Out Preference Signals

Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) or similar feature that signals to web services that a visitor does not want to have their online activity and behavior tracked. If a web service operator elects to respond to a particular DNT signal, the web service operator may refrain from collecting certain Personal Information about the browser's user. Not all browsers offer a DNT option, and there is currently no industry consensus as to what constitutes a DNT signal. For these reasons, many web service operators, including World Liberty, do not proactively respond to DNT signals. For more information about DNT signals, visit http://allaboutdnt.com.

New standards are being developed for a Universal Opt-Out Mechanism, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), which allows users with GPC-enabled browsers and devices to send a signal that will communicate the user's request to opt-out of sales of their Personal Information and to opt-out of certain sharing of their Personal Information. The CPRA and other laws allow for the acceptance of Opt-Out Preference Signals such as the GPC as an option for users to transmit an Opt-Out of selling/sharing Personal Information. If we detect and recognize such a signal from your device or browser, we will honor it.

6. Analytics

We utilize third-party analytics platforms to track user interactions, preferences, and behavior during browsing sessions for users who have opted in for analytics. This data helps us improve our Website and analyze trends in our user base. We respect your right to control the Personal Information collected during your browsing session. If you prefer not to participate in our tracking techniques and data collection, you can opt-out through the “Manage Analytics” section on this page or adjust your browser settings or use browser extensions designed for this purpose.

7. Data Security

We implement and maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical security safeguards to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Nevertheless, transmission via the Internet is not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information about you.

8. Data Retention

Please note that we retain information we collect as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected as outlined in this Notice and to the extent permitted by applicable legal requirements. Where you request the deletion of your information, we may continue to retain and use your information as permitted or required under applicable laws for legal, tax, or regulatory reasons or legitimate and lawful business purposes.

9. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights related to the processing of your data:
