Last updated: March 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how World-Tension Watch (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website at www.world-tension.com. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website’s owners. Cookies remain on your device for varying lengths of time depending on their type.

We may also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage that function in a similar way to cookies.

2. How We Use Cookies

World-Tension Watch uses cookies for a variety of reasons. Some cookies are technically necessary for the site to function correctly. Others help us understand how visitors engage with our content, improve your experience, or support our ability to deliver relevant information.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, core features such as page navigation, security, and access to secure areas of the site would not work. Because they are essential, they cannot be disabled.

  • Session management cookies (maintaining your session as you browse)
  • Security cookies (protecting against cross-site request forgery)
  • Load-balancing cookies (ensuring consistent server performance)

Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to understand how visitors interact with our website. All data collected is aggregated and anonymous — we use it solely to improve our editorial content and site performance. We use Google Analytics (or a comparable analytics service) for this purpose.

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referral source (how you arrived at our site)
  • Approximate geographic region
  • Browser and device type

You may opt out of analytics cookies at any time (see Section 5 below).

Preference Cookies

These cookies remember your choices and settings to provide a more personalised experience. For example, they may store your preferred language or region settings if applicable. Disabling these cookies may affect the functionality of certain features.

Third-Party Cookies

  • X (Twitter) — for embedded posts and share buttons
  • YouTube — for embedded video content
  • Facebook — for sharing functionality

We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the privacy and cookie policies of each respective third party for more information about how they use cookies.
