Cookies Policy
Plain English on which cookies we set, what each one does, and how to switch them off.
This page covers what cookies actually are, what IPTV Trial sets on iptvtrial.online, and how you can change your mind at any point. For the bigger picture on what we do with personal data, our Privacy Policy has the full story.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are tiny text files a website saves on your device — phone, laptop, tablet, smart TV — when you visit. They're how a site remembers small things about you between visits, like the language you picked or whether you've already dismissed a banner. Without them, you'd be starting from scratch every time you came back.
There are two flavours. Session cookies vanish the second you close your browser. Persistent cookies hang around for a set time, or until you clear them yourself.
2. Why We Use Them
We keep it simple. Cookies on this site help us:
- Run the basics — pages load, the menu opens, the trial form submits.
- Remember whether you've already answered the cookie banner.
- See which pages people actually read, so we can fix the ones that aren't working.
- Show you the right offer if we're running a promo — only after you've said yes.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
These keep the site running. Turn them off and things start breaking — the pricing toggle stops switching, the trial form won't send, the mobile menu won't open. There's no opt-out for this category because without them you can't really use the site at all.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
cookie_consent |
Remembers what you picked on the cookie banner | 1 year (localStorage) |
Analytics Cookies
We run Google Analytics so we can see which pages people stick on, which ones they bounce off, and where to spend time fixing things. The data is grouped and anonymous — we can't pull a name or face out of it, and we don't try to.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics — tells visitors apart | 2 years |
_ga_* |
Google Analytics — keeps track of your session | 2 years |
We don't fire any of this until you've hit "Accept" on the consent banner. If you decline, none of these are set.
Preferences Cookies
These remember small choices that make the site nicer to come back to — your billing currency, the language you picked, whether you closed a promo bar. Nothing here identifies you. They only kick in if you've accepted non-essential cookies.
4. Third-Party Cookies
When you head to checkout, we send you over to PayPal or Stripe. Those companies set their own cookies on their own pages, and we don't have a switch for them on our end. If you want the details, their cookie pages are the place to look:
5. How to Control Cookies
You're in charge here. The first time you load the site, a banner pops up asking whether you're okay with non-essential cookies. Whatever you click, you can change your mind whenever — the controls below reset everything.
Reset your consent
Hit the button. It clears your saved choice and the banner shows up again on the next page load.
Browser settings
You can also handle this from your browser directly. Each one has its own path, but the idea is the same:
- 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 — block everything and parts of the site will stop working. That's not a threat, that's just how cookies work.
Turn off Google Analytics across the web
If you'd rather opt out of Google Analytics on every site you visit, Google publishes a free browser add-on that handles it in one click.
6. Changes to This Policy
If we add a new tool or the rules around cookies shift, we'll update this page and bump the "Last updated" date at the top. No surprise emails, no fine print — it'll all be right here. Worth a quick look every few months.
7. Contact
Got a question? The contact page is the fastest way to reach us. We'll write back inside 48 hours, usually a lot sooner.
