Last Updated: November 10, 2025
1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Welcome to Worldlya.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Our mission is to provide the world’s most detailed and accurate guides to every country on Earth. To do this effectively and maintain our site, we must collect some information.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. We use clear, natural language because we believe you should know exactly how we handle your data.
2. The Information We Collect
We collect information in two main ways:
A) Information You Voluntarily Provide
This is information you actively give us, such as:
- Comments: If you leave a comment on our articles, we may collect your name, email address, and website (if you choose to provide it).
- Contact Forms: If you contact us directly via our contact form, we will collect your name, email address, and the message you send.
- Newsletters: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will collect your email address to send you updates.
B) Information We Collect Automatically
This is information your browser sends to us automatically as you browse our site:
- Log Data: Like most websites, our servers automatically record information (“Log Data”) that your browser sends. This may include your IP address, browser type, the pages you visited on Worldlya.com, the time and date of your visit, and other statistics.
- Cookies: Yes, we use cookies. A cookie is a small data file stored on your device. We use them to understand how you use our site, to remember your preferences, and to help us improve your experience.
3. How We Use Cookies and Third-Parties
Cookies are essential for running a modern, detailed website. Here’s how we and our partners use them:
- Analytics: We use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand our audience. These services use cookies to gather data about site traffic and user behavior. This helps us learn which country guides are most popular and how we can improve our content.
- Advertising: We display ads on our site, often using third-party partners like Google AdSense. This is how we fund the detailed research that Worldlya provides.
- These partners (like Google) use cookies (such as the DART cookie) to serve ads based on your previous visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings page.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for a few specific, common-sense purposes:
- To Operate and Improve Our Site: We use Log Data and Analytics to understand what content you love and how to make the site faster and more user-friendly.
- To Communicate With You: If you contact us or comment, we’ll use your information to respond.
- To Send Updates: If you opt-in to our newsletter, we’ll use your email to send it. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- To Support the Site: Displaying relevant ads helps us keep the lights on and continue creating the world’s best country guides, free of charge.
5. Links to Other Websites
Our detailed guides will inevitably link to other resources, such as official tourism boards, government sites, or other external sources. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site.
Please note that this Privacy Policy does not apply to those external sites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of any third-party sites. We strongly encourage you to review their policies.
6. Children’s Privacy
Worldlya.com is not intended for anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided us with information, please contact us, and we will delete it immediately.
7. Your Data Rights (GDPR)
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have specific data protection rights. You have the right to access, update, or delete the information we have on you. You can also manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this policy from time to time as our site evolves. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes.
