Cookies Policy

Effective date: May 15, 2026

This page explains what cookies are, how Free IPTV uses them on freeiptv.cam, and the choices you have. We've kept it short and plain. For the bigger picture on the data we hold, read our Privacy Policy.

1. What Cookies Are

Cookies are tiny text files a website drops onto your phone, tablet, or computer when you load a page. They let the site remember small things between visits — like the language you picked, or that you've already closed the consent banner — so you don't have to do it all over again next time.

Some cookies vanish the second you close your browser (those are "session" cookies). Others stick around for weeks or months until they expire or you wipe them yourself (those are "persistent" cookies). Similar bits of storage like localStorage work the same way for our purposes, and we've covered them below too.

2. Why We Use Them

We don't load cookies for fun. Every one on this site earns its keep. Here's what they do:

• Strictly necessary — keep the basics working. The site session, your consent choice, the mobile menu, the pricing toggle. Without these, the page can't function, so they're always on.
• Functional — remember preferences you've set, like your chosen language or whether you've dismissed a banner.
• Analytics — count visits and see which pages people actually read, so we can fix the ones that flop. Only loaded if you say yes.
• Marketing — measure which campaigns send real visitors. Also off by default, also only loaded with your consent.

3. The Types We Set

Strictly Necessary

These are the cookies that make the site work. They keep your session alive, store your "accept" or "decline" answer to the banner, and remember tiny UI states. You can't switch them off because there'd be nothing left to use. We treat them as exempt from consent under ePrivacy rules.

Functional

These hold small preferences — your language, your closed-banner flag, your last-viewed plan tab. Nothing identifying, nothing shared. If you'd rather we forgot, clear your browser storage and they're gone.

Analytics (opt-in)

If you accept analytics in the banner, we set a couple of Google Analytics cookies so we can see traffic patterns. The data is aggregated and anonymised — we can't pull your name or email out of it. Decline the banner and these never load at all.

Marketing (opt-in)

If you accept marketing cookies, we may set pixels from ad networks to measure whether our ads actually convert. Same deal: decline and nothing fires. We don't sell your data to anyone, and we won't ever pretend a "reject" button is an "accept" one.

4. Specific Cookies On freeiptv.cam

Here's the full list, with names you can search for in your browser's developer tools if you want to verify what's set.

Name	Purpose	Expiry
cookie_consent	Strictly necessary. Saves your accept/decline choice so we don't keep asking.	1 year (localStorage)
session_id	Strictly necessary. Keeps your form session intact while you fill it out.	Session
lang_pref	Functional. Remembers the language you picked.	6 months
_ga	Analytics (opt-in). Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors.	2 years
_ga_*	Analytics (opt-in). Google Analytics — holds session state per property.	2 years
_fbp	Marketing (opt-in). Meta Pixel — measures ad performance.	3 months

If you spot anything else in our cookie jar that isn't on this list, tell us — we'll either document it or yank it.

5. Third-Party Cookies

When you head to checkout, Stripe handles the card details on its own domain and sets its own cookies for fraud checks and 3D Secure. We don't read those, we don't share data with them, and they're governed by Stripe's own privacy notice. The same goes for any analytics provider once you've opted in — those cookies live under their rules, not ours.

We don't embed YouTube, Twitter, or Facebook widgets on our pages, so there's no quiet social tracking happening in the background. If that ever changes, this section gets updated first.

6. How To Control or Withdraw Consent

You're in charge of this. Two routes:

Through our banner

The consent banner shows on your first visit from the EU, UK, or Switzerland. Hit the button below to wipe your stored choice — the banner pops back up on your next page load and you can pick fresh.

Reset Cookie Preferences

Through your browser

Every modern browser lets you block, limit, or wipe cookies. Heads up: turn them all off and parts of the site (forms, language switcher, banner memory) will misbehave.

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Opt out of Google Analytics across the web

If you'd rather GA didn't follow you anywhere, grab the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. It blocks GA on every site, not just ours.

7. Updates To This Policy

If we add a new tool, drop an old one, or the rules around cookies shift, we'll refresh this page and bump the "Effective date" up top. Worth a quick look every few months. If we ever make a material change to how consent works, we'll show the banner again so you can pick fresh.

8. Contact

Got a question, spotted a cookie we haven't listed, or want us to delete the data we hold on you? Drop us a line through the contact page and you'll hear back inside 48 hours.
