Cookie Policy

Last updated: 9 April 2026

This Cookie Policy describes how allworldlists.com (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. We aim to be transparent about what we store on your device and how you can control it.

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and scripts that store or access information on your device. They can be “first-party” (set by us) or “third-party” (set by another domain, such as an analytics or security provider). Technologies may be “session” (deleted when you close the browser) or “persistent” (remain for a defined period unless deleted).

2. Why we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including: (a) strictly necessary functions, such as security, load balancing, remembering cookie consent choices, and maintaining basic Site operation; (b) analytics and performance measurement, where permitted, to understand aggregated traffic, popular pages, and error rates; (c) preferences, such as language or display settings, where you choose to save them; and (d) fraud prevention and abuse detection where implemented by our service providers.

3. Categories of cookies we may use

Strictly necessary: These are required for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems without breaking core functionality. They may include security cookies, session tokens where required, and consent storage cookies that record your cookie choices.

Functional: These enable enhanced features such as remembering settings you select. If you disable them, some features may not work as expected.

Analytics: These help us understand how visitors use the Site in aggregate, such as page views and navigation paths. Where we use analytics cookies that are not strictly necessary, we will request your consent where required by law.

Marketing or affiliate measurement: Some partners may use cookies to attribute clicks or conversions to affiliates. Such technologies are subject to the partner’s policies and your consent choices where applicable.

4. Third-party cookies

Third parties that provide tools integrated into the Site (for example hosting, analytics, or security services) may set their own cookies. We do not control those cookies. We encourage you to read the privacy and cookie policies of those providers. Operator websites you reach through outbound links will set their own cookies under their policies.

5. Consent and the UK cookie rules

Under UK privacy and electronic communications rules, we must obtain informed consent before storing or accessing non-essential cookies, subject to limited exceptions for strictly necessary cookies. Our cookie banner allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies where implemented. You can change your mind later by clearing cookies and revisiting the Site, or by adjusting your browser settings.

6. How to manage cookies in your browser

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through settings. You can usually block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or delete cookies when you close the browser. Blocking all cookies may affect Site functionality, including security features and consent storage. Instructions for popular browsers are available from the browser vendor’s help pages.

7. Do Not Track and global privacy controls

Some browsers send “Do Not Track” signals or support global privacy controls. The Site may not respond to all such signals in a uniform way; we focus on consent mechanisms and browser controls that comply with UK requirements.

8. Retention and data linked to cookies

Cookie lifetimes vary. Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies may last from days to months depending on their purpose. We and our providers retain analytics data only as long as needed for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy and in line with provider terms.

9. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. Material changes will be indicated by updating the “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
