How the World Youth Council uses — or rather, doesn't use — cookies on this website.
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to remember information about your visit. They are commonly used for session management, analytics, and advertising.
The World Youth Council website is a static informational website. We have made a deliberate choice to operate without tracking cookies, third-party analytics scripts, or advertising trackers of any kind.
This means we do not build profiles of our visitors, share browsing data with third parties, or require your consent to place cookies — because we simply don't use them for those purposes.
Some cookies are technically necessary for basic website functionality. If any such cookies are set by our hosting provider or content delivery network, they are strictly functional and do not track or identify you personally. These may include:
These cookies are temporary, contain no personally identifiable information, and expire when you close your browser.
This website does not embed third-party content such as social media widgets, YouTube videos, or advertising networks that could set their own cookies. External links to other websites are provided for reference only — those websites have their own cookie and privacy policies which we have no control over.
If WYC chooses to introduce website analytics in the future, we are committed to using privacy-first, cookie-free tools (such as Plausible or Fathom Analytics) that do not set tracking cookies and are fully GDPR-compliant without requiring a consent banner. This policy will be updated accordingly if that happens.
You can manage, block, or delete any cookies through your browser settings at any time. Since we do not rely on cookies for any core functionality, doing so will not affect your experience on this website.
For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, visit allaboutcookies.org.
We may update this Cookie Policy if our practices change. The most current version will always be available on this page. If you have questions, reach out via our contact page.
