Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, smart TV, or other internet-connected device) when you visit a website or use an application. They are widely used to make websites and applications work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site or app. Similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage, may also be used for the same purposes.

2. How We Use Cookies

Stream TV Depot uses cookies and similar tracking technologies for a variety of purposes, including:

• Authentication and security: to recognize you when you log in, maintain your session, and protect your account from unauthorized access;
• Preferences and settings: to remember your language, region, theme, dashboard layout, and other customization choices;
• Service functionality: to enable features such as video playback, content recommendations, and channel management;
• Analytics and performance: to understand how visitors and viewers interact with our Platform, identify errors, and improve speed and reliability;
• Advertising and marketing: to deliver relevant advertisements, measure campaign effectiveness, and limit ad frequency (where permitted by law and with appropriate consent);
• Fraud prevention: to detect suspicious activity, protect against abuse, and enforce our Terms & Conditions.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize the cookies and similar technologies used on our Platform as follows:

3.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the Service. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, session management, security features, and access to protected areas. Without these cookies, the Service cannot function properly. They are usually set in response to your actions, such as logging in or filling out forms.

3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Platform by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to count visits, identify traffic sources, measure page load times, and see which features are most popular. This information is used to improve the overall performance and user experience.

3.3 Functionality Cookies

These cookies enable the Platform to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.

3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies may be set through our Platform by our advertising partners. They may be used by those partners to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

4. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies for analytics, advertising, payment processing, and social media integration. These third parties include:

• Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics, Mixpanel);
• Advertising networks and demand-side platforms;
• Payment processors and fraud-prevention services;
• Content delivery networks (CDNs) and video-player platforms;
• Social media platforms and embedded-content providers.

The use of third-party cookies is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective providers. We recommend reviewing those policies for more information.

5. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be either "session" or "persistent":

• Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser or app. They are used to maintain your session during a single visit;
• Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (ranging from hours to years) or until you manually delete them. They are used to remember your preferences and settings across multiple visits.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these settings in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser. You may also be able to delete existing cookies from your browser history.

Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some features of the Service may not work correctly or may become unavailable. In particular, disabling essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or using secure areas of the Platform.

For more information about managing cookies in popular browsers, visit the help pages of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge.

7. Consent and Legal Basis

Where required by law (including under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive in the European Union, and similar regulations in other jurisdictions), we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time through the cookie preference center or by adjusting your browser settings. Essential cookies do not require consent and are placed based on our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional Service.
