Cookies Policy
What cookies we set, why we set them, and how you can switch the optional ones off.
This page explains what cookies are, how Xcodes IPTV uses them on xcodesiptv.cam, and what choices you've got. For the bigger picture on how we handle personal data, check our Privacy Policy.
1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files a website drops on your device — phone, laptop, tablet, doesn't matter — when you visit. They let the site remember things about your trip, like the language you prefer or whether you've already dismissed a banner, so you don't repeat yourself every page load.
They come in two flavours. "Session" cookies vanish when you close the browser. "Persistent" ones stick around for a set time or until you wipe them out manually.
2. Why We Use Them
We don't set cookies for fun. Each one has a job:
- Keep core features working — pricing toggles, the trial form, the mobile menu (essential cookies).
- Remember the cookie choice you made so we don't keep nagging you.
- Figure out which pages people actually read so we can fix the ones nobody does (analytics cookies).
- Show you promos that match what you've been browsing — only if you've agreed to it (marketing cookies).
3. Types of Cookies We Set
Essential Cookies
These have to run for the site to work. Without them, the pricing switch, the free trial form, and the menu on phones all break. You can't turn essential cookies off.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
cookie_consent |
Stores the cookie choice you made on the banner | 1 year (localStorage) |
Analytics Cookies
We run Google Analytics to see which pages get traffic and where people drop off. The data's aggregated and anonymised — we can't tie it back to you as a person. It's purely so we know which parts of the site to improve.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics — tells unique visitors apart | 2 years |
_ga_* |
Google Analytics — keeps session state | 2 years |
Analytics cookies only fire once you've accepted them through our consent banner. Click "decline" and they never load.
Marketing Cookies
If you tick the marketing option in our consent banner, we may set cookies that help us show you Xcodes IPTV ads on other sites later. Turn it down and we won't. It's that straightforward.
Third-Party Cookies
If you head to checkout and click a payment provider (PayPal, Stripe, etc.), they'll set their own cookies on their pages. We've got no say over those — they're managed under each provider's own privacy policy, so it's worth a quick read of theirs too.
4. Managing Your Cookies
The first time you visit xcodesiptv.cam, a consent banner asks if you're okay with non-essential cookies. You can change your mind whenever you want using the options below.
Reset your consent
Tap the button to clear the cookie choice we've saved. The consent banner will pop back up next time the page loads.
Browser-level settings
You can also block or wipe cookies directly inside your browser, no matter what we say:
- 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 — if you block everything, parts of xcodesiptv.cam (and most other sites, honestly) will stop working properly.
Turn off Google Analytics everywhere
Want to stop Google Analytics on every site, not just ours? Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on and you're set.
5. Changes to This Policy
If our cookie setup changes — say we add a new analytics tool, or the law shifts — we'll update this page and bump the "Last updated" date at the top. It's worth a quick scan every few months. We won't email you about it.
