Privacy Policy
Last updated: 27 August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how World Brief (“we”, “us”, “our”), operating this website, collects, uses and protects information when you visit https://www.worldbriefnews.org (the “Site”). By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly — for example your name, email address and message when you use our contact form, submit a comment or create an account. We do not run a mailing list. We also automatically receive standard technical data when you browse the Site, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and the pages you view and when.
Log Files
Like most websites, the Site uses log files. These record IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider, date and time stamps, referring and exit pages, and click counts. This information is used to analyse trends, administer the Site, track visitor movement, and gather broad demographic information. It is not linked to personally identifiable information.
Cookies and Web Beacons
The Site uses cookies to store information about visitors’ preferences, to record user-specific information on which pages are visited, and to personalise or customise page content based on your browser type or other information you send. You can disable cookies through your individual browser options; doing so may affect how parts of the Site function.
Google AdSense and the DoubleClick DART Cookie
Google is a third-party vendor that serves ads on this Site. Google uses cookies, including the DoubleClick DART cookie, to serve ads to visitors based on their visits to this Site and other sites on the Internet.
Visitors may opt out of the use of the DART cookie and of personalised advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page at https://www.google.com/settings/ads, or by visiting https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and https://www.youronlinechoices.eu/. You can review Google’s own privacy practices at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Third-Party Advertising Partners
Some of our advertising partners may use cookies and web beacons on the Site. These partners include Google AdSense and may include other ad networks. Each of these partners has its own privacy policy governing its use of automatically received information such as cookies and IP addresses. We have no access to or control over cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.
You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information on their practices, as well as for instructions about how to opt out of certain practices. This Site’s Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, such other advertisers or websites.
Analytics
We may use analytics services such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. These services set their own cookies and process usage data on our behalf in aggregated, non-identifying form. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to operate and maintain the Site, respond to your enquiries, deliver and improve content, display and measure advertising, monitor and prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.
Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, contact us using the details below. You can also control cookies through your browser and opt out of personalised advertising using the links in the sections above.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when the revised version is posted on this page, and the “Last updated” date above is amended accordingly. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
