Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how EliteStream IPTV LLC uses cookies and similar technologies on elitestreamiptv.co, what each type of cookie does, and how you can control them — with specific information for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.
- We use a small number of cookies to keep the site working and to understand how visitors use it.
- Strictly necessary cookies are always active. Everything else requires your consent if you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland.
- You can accept, refuse or withdraw consent at any time.
- We use Google Analytics to measure website traffic.
- Questions? Email legal@elitestreamiptv.co.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to give site owners information about how their site is being used.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, pixels, tags and SDKs. When we refer to “cookies” in this policy, we mean all of these technologies together.
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
- First-party cookies — set by elitestreamiptv.co directly.
- Third-party cookies — set by another domain, for example Google Analytics or a payment provider.
2. Why we use cookies
We use cookies for a limited set of purposes:
- To make our website function correctly and securely.
- To remember your cookie preferences.
- To measure how visitors find and use our website, through analytics tools such as Google Analytics.
- To support embedded third-party content, such as WhatsApp links or video previews.
We do not use cookies for advertising networks, cross-site behavioural tracking, or selling your information to third parties.
3. Categories of cookies we use
We group cookies into four categories. Only the first two are relevant to this website in most cases.
Strictly necessary
Required for the website to work. These include security, load-balancing and session cookies. They cannot be switched off through our site.
Always activePreferences / functional
Remember choices you make, such as language or display preferences, so we can provide a more personal experience.
Analytics / statistics
Help us understand how visitors use the site. We use Google Analytics for this purpose. IP anonymisation is enabled.
Marketing / advertising
Used to deliver advertising and measure campaigns. We do not currently use marketing cookies on this website.

5. Third-party cookies & services
Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use. These third parties are independent data controllers or processors and have their own privacy and cookie policies:
- Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC) — website traffic measurement. Learn more at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.
- WhatsApp (Meta Platforms Inc.) — when you click a WhatsApp link on our site, WhatsApp may set cookies and process data under its own policy.
- Payment providers — our card and cryptocurrency payment processors may set cookies on their own checkout pages. These are outside our website.
- Hosting & CDN providers — may set strictly necessary security and load-balancing cookies.
We do not control third-party cookies. Please review the relevant third-party policies for details of how they process your information.
6. Consent & legal basis (EEA, UK, Switzerland)
Under the ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR / UK GDPR, we may only set non-essential cookies (such as analytics cookies) on your device if you have given your prior, informed and unambiguous consent.
You have a genuine choice: accept, refuse, or customize. Refusing non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using the website — you will simply browse with only strictly necessary cookies.
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time through the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our website, or by clearing your browser cookies. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before that withdrawal.
Strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website, as permitted under applicable law. Analytics cookies are set on the basis of your consent.
For more information about how we process personal data, your rights, and how to contact us, please see our Privacy Policy.
7. How to manage cookies
You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:
- Use our cookie banner or settings link. When you first visit the site, a banner lets you accept, refuse or customize cookies. A “Cookie Settings” link in the footer lets you revisit your choice at any time.
- Change your browser settings. All modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. See section 8 for guidance.
- Use browser extensions or privacy tools. Ad blockers and privacy extensions often include cookie controls.
- Opt out of Google Analytics specifically. Google provides an official opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
8. Browser & device controls
You can usually find cookie controls in your browser’s “Settings”, “Preferences” or “Privacy” section. The following links lead to the official guidance for the most common browsers:
- Google Chrome — Chrome Help: “Clear, enable and manage cookies”.
- Mozilla Firefox — Firefox Help: “Cookies and site data”.
- Apple Safari — Safari User Guide: “Manage cookies and website data”.
- Microsoft Edge — Edge Help: “Delete and manage cookies”.
- Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and other browsers — please check your browser’s built-in help.
Blocking all cookies, including strictly necessary ones, may affect how the website functions — for example, your cookie preferences may not be remembered.
9. Do Not Track & Global Privacy Control
Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal, and some transmit a “Global Privacy Control” (GPC) signal. There is no common industry standard for how to interpret these signals, but we respect GPC where it is legally required — for example, under the California Consumer Privacy Act.
Where a legally recognised opt-out signal is present and applies to you, we will treat it as an instruction not to set non-essential analytics cookies.
10. How long cookies last
The lifetime of each cookie is listed in the table in section 4. In summary:
- Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
- Preference cookies typically last up to 12 months.
- Analytics cookies from Google Analytics typically last up to 13 months, after which they expire or are refreshed.
You can delete cookies from your device at any time using your browser settings.
11. Your privacy rights
Because cookies often involve personal data such as your IP address or a unique identifier, the rights described in our Privacy Policy apply. These include:
- The right to access the personal information we hold about you.
- The right to correct or delete that information.
- The right to object to or restrict certain processing.
- The right to withdraw consent at any time.
- The right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at legal@elitestreamiptv.co.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, the tools we rely on, or applicable law. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
If we make a material change — for example, introducing a new category of cookie — we will update our consent banner so you can review and give consent again.
