External Links
This Privacy Policy applies exclusively to WZHUB and our Platforms. Our website may contain links to external websites. WZHUB is in no way responsible for the content or privacy policies of these websites. We recommend that you take the time to read the privacy policies of other websites that you visit. Similarly, if you are redirected to WZHUB from a third-party, their privacy policy or practices will not apply to our Platforms.
Our Cookie Policy
WZHUB is dedicated to being transparent with users on how we collect and use cookies across our websites and technologies, operating a strict policy across our Platforms.
Why cookies are important
Cookies serve a multitude of purposes, from ensuring that our websites function as intended, so allowing us to serve you the ads that are most likely to resonate with you. Cookies can store your login information, or remember your preferences on our websites, giving you the best experience on our platforms.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a file that is stored on your browsing device, used to communicate with the websites that you visit about various preferences of your user experience.
There are two main types of cookies, a Session Cookie, and a Persistent Cookie. According to Wikipedia, they are respectively defined as follows:
Session cookie
A session cookie, also known as an in-memory cookie, transient cookie or non-persistent cookie, exists only in temporary memory while the user navigates the website. Web browsers normally delete session cookies when the user closes the browser. Unlike other cookies, session cookies do not have an expiration date assigned to them, which is how the browser knows to treat them as session cookies.
Persistent cookie
Instead of expiring when the web browser is closed as session cookies do, a persistent cookie expires at a specific date or after a specific length of time. This means that, for the cookie’s entire lifespan (which can be as long or as short as its creators want), its information will be transmitted to the server every time the user visits the website that it belongs to, or every time the user views a resource belonging to that website from another website (such as an advertisement).
For this reason, persistent cookies are sometimes referred to as tracking cookies because they can be used by advertisers to record information about a user’s web browsing habits over an extended period of time. However, they are also used for “legitimate” reasons (such as keeping users logged into their accounts on websites, to avoid re-entering login credentials at every visit).
These cookies are however reset if the expiration time is reached or the user manually deletes the cookie.
Other Similar Technologies
WZHUB may also utilize cookie-like technologies, including pixels and site tags. These technologies are used to retrieve information essential to us to get a better understanding about how our website is functioning, who’s using it, when and from where. The data we will retrieve includes device type, e.g. iPhone; operating system, e.g. Windows; time of visit; etc.
While they may interact with your browser’s cookie, they’re not actually cookies themselves.
Types of Cookies WZHUB Use
Authentication – used to identify you during everyday usage of our Platforms.
Status – used to determine if you’re logged into our Platforms.
Security – used to protect both our platforms and our users, for things like fraudulent use of credentials.
Personalization – used to store information about your preferences and to give you the user experience that is right for you.
Analytics – used for performance measurement, such as how many people visit our Platforms. This data is passed to, among other websites, Google. You can review how they might process your cookies here.
Advertising – used to deliver the most appropriate adverts to you while you use our platforms. They may record the frequency with which you’ve visited the website, so you don’t see the same adverts every time. Advertising cookies are either placed by WZHUB, or one of our trusted partners.
Cookie Consent – used to keep records of which cookies you’ve consented to.
How to remove your user information or streaming platform information
You may update or delete your WZHUB user account, stats game profile or social platform links via the user settings page. If you delete your information, it will be removed from our servers with an immediate effect without a possibility to recover it.
Note that this only removes your created WZHUB user account. This has no effect on your data privacy settings on your Call of Duty or Activision profile, meaning your stats may still be searchable on WZHUB. Please refer to the points above on how to remove your gameplay data from WZHUB.
