Privacy policy
Last updated: June 5, 2026
This privacy policy explains what information is collected when you visit indiawatchesfootball.com ("this site", "we", "us"), how it is used, and the choices you have. India Watches Football is an independent fan guide; we try to collect as little as possible.
Who we are
India Watches Football is an independent, fan-run website that publishes information about watching football — including the FIFA World Cup 2026 — in India. You can reach us through our Instagram.
Information we collect
Server logs
Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical information each time a page is requested. These server logs may include your IP address, browser type and version, the page you requested, the referring page, and the date and time of the request. This information is used to operate the site securely, diagnose problems, and understand aggregate traffic. It is not used to personally identify you.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser. This site itself does not require you to log in and does not set cookies to track you across sessions. However, third-party services we use — principally advertising (below) — may set their own cookies. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; blocking them will not stop you from reading the site, though some ads may become less relevant.
Advertising — Google AdSense
This site is supported by advertising and may display ads served through Google AdSense. To do this, Google and its partners may:
- Use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Use the DoubleClick / Google advertising cookie to show you ads that may be more relevant to you.
- Collect data such as your IP address, device and browser information, and interactions with ads.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices. For more on how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see Google's policy on partner sites.
Analytics
If we add a privacy-respecting analytics tool in future to understand aggregate, anonymised traffic (for example, which pages are most read), this policy will be updated to describe it before it is enabled.
How we use information
- To operate, secure and maintain the website.
- To understand aggregate traffic so we can improve the guide.
- To display advertising that keeps the site free to read.
We do not sell your personal information.
Your choices
- Adjust or block cookies in your browser settings.
- Opt out of personalised ads via Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info/choices.
- Use your browser's private/incognito mode to limit stored data.
Children
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
External links
This guide links to third-party sites (operators, ZEE5, social platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites; please review their own policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site evolves or as advertising and analytics tools change. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "last updated" date.
