Cookies Policy

Last updated: May 16, 2026

This page explains what cookies are, how M3u IPTV uses them on m3uiptv.cam, and what you can do about them. For the bigger picture on how we handle your data, check the Privacy Policy.

1. What's a Cookie?

A cookie is a tiny text file your browser stores when you land on a site. It's the site's short-term memory — it lets us remember things like "this visitor already accepted the cookie banner" so you don't see it on every page.

There are two flavours. Session cookies disappear when you close the tab. Persistent cookies hang around for a set time (a year, two years) or until you clear them out yourself.

2. Why We Use Them

We keep our cookie use light. Here's what they do:

• Keep the site running properly — the pricing toggle, free-trial form, mobile menu (essential cookies).
• Remember your cookie preference so we don't ask you again.
• Show us, in aggregate, which pages people actually read so we can fix what isn't working (analytics cookies).
• Power retargeting only if you've ticked the box — never by default.

3. The Cookies We Actually Set

Essential Cookies

These ones are non-negotiable. Without them, the device switcher on the pricing page, the trial form, and the consent banner itself won't behave. You can't opt out because the site literally won't work — but they don't track you anywhere else.

Name	What it does	How long it sticks around
cookie_consent	Remembers your accept / decline choice	1 year (stored in localStorage)

Functional Cookies

These remember small preferences so the site feels less repetitive — things like the device count you picked on the pricing page or whether you've already dismissed a banner. They don't follow you around the web.

Analytics Cookies

We run Google Analytics so we can see, at a high level, which pages get visited and where people drop off. The data is anonymised and aggregated — we can't pull up a profile of you personally, and we don't try.

Name	What it does	How long it sticks around
_ga	Google Analytics — tells one visitor apart from the next	2 years
_ga_*	Google Analytics — keeps track of the current session	2 years

Analytics cookies don't fire until you accept the banner. Decline it and they never load.

Third-Party Cookies

If you click out to a payment partner (PayPal, Stripe, etc.), those companies set their own cookies on their own sites. We can't see them and we can't control them — check their privacy policies if you want the detail.

4. Your Choices

First time you land, you'll see a consent banner. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies right there. You can also change your mind later — here's how.

Reset your consent

Tap the button below. It wipes your stored preference and the banner pops back up next time you load a page.

Reset Cookie Preferences

Or do it from your browser

Every browser lets you wipe or block cookies directly:

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

Heads up — blocking everything will break parts of the site. The trial form, in particular, needs a working cookie to remember you.

Switch off Google Analytics across every site

Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. It blocks GA from collecting data on us and every other site you visit.

5. Updates to This Policy

We'll update this page when our cookie use changes or the rules around them shift. The "Last updated" date at the top moves with each revision, so check back if you want to stay current.
