Cookie Policy
What cookies this website uses, what they do, and how to control them if you'd rather not have them.

What a cookie actually is
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your device when you visit. It doesn't run programs, and it can't access anything else on your device — its job is simply to help a website remember something between page loads, or between one visit and the next. Most websites use them in some form, and subscribeiptv.uk is no exception. Cookies aren't unique to this site or even to streaming services generally — they're a basic building block of how the modern web works, used everywhere from online banking to news sites, and this policy simply explains our own specific use of them.
Why we use them
We use cookies for a small number of practical reasons: to keep the site working correctly as you move between pages, to remember basic preferences, and to understand in general terms how the site is used so we can improve pages that aren't working well. None of this is used to build an advertising profile of you.
Types of cookies used on this site
| Type | What it does | Can it be disabled? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Lets core site features work, such as loading pages correctly and keeping the site secure | These can't be switched off, since the site won't function properly without them |
| Performance & analytics | Helps us understand which pages are visited and roughly how the site is used, so we can fix or improve things | Yes, through your browser settings |
| Functionality | Remembers simple preferences, such as whether you've already seen a particular message | Yes, through your browser settings |
| Third-party | Set by services we rely on, such as a content delivery network or the WhatsApp chat link | Depends on the third party — see below |
First-party versus third-party cookies
A first-party cookie is set directly by subscribeiptv.uk and can only be read by this site. A third-party cookie is set by a different domain — usually a service we rely on behind the scenes — and can potentially be read across other sites that use the same service. Most of what this site sets is first-party; the exceptions are noted below.
Third-party cookies
Some parts of the site rely on third-party services that may set their own cookies — for example, our content delivery and security provider, or the WhatsApp link used for contacting us, which is governed by WhatsApp's own cookie and privacy practices once you leave our site through it. We don't control what these third parties do with their own cookies; their own policies apply to that part of the experience.
How long cookies last
Some cookies are session-based and disappear automatically once you close your browser. Others are persistent and stay on your device for a set period so the site can recognise you on a return visit — typically for a matter of weeks or months, depending on the specific cookie's purpose.
Managing or disabling cookies
Every modern browser lets you view, block or delete cookies through its settings. The exact steps differ slightly by browser, but generally you'll find cookie controls under privacy or security settings:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Blocking all cookies may mean some parts of the site don't work as smoothly, since even basic navigation relies on the strictly necessary category.
Why this matters for a streaming site
Cookies on subscribeiptv.uk relate only to how the website itself behaves in your browser — things like page navigation, basic preferences and site analytics. They have nothing to do with the login credentials used inside your IPTV app once you're subscribed; that access works through the app itself rather than through your browser, so it isn't affected by clearing your browser's cookies. If you're ever asked to clear cookies as a troubleshooting step for a playback issue, it's worth checking with us first — most streaming problems are solved elsewhere, and clearing cookies rarely makes a difference to how the IPTV app itself performs.
Cookies and under-18s
This website isn't directed at children, and we don't knowingly use cookies to collect information from anyone under 18. If you're a parent and believe your child has provided information through this site, contact us and we'll address it.
Do Not Track signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. There isn't yet a single agreed standard for how websites should respond to this signal, so like many sites, ours doesn't currently change its behaviour based on it — the browser-level cookie controls above are the most reliable way to manage what's stored.
Changes to this policy
If the cookies we use change in a meaningful way, we'll update this page and revise the date at the top. It's worth a quick check back occasionally, particularly if new features are added to the site.
Your consent
Where required, this site shows a cookie notice when you first visit, so you can choose which non-essential categories to allow before they're set. If you'd like to change your choice later, clearing cookies for this site through your browser and revisiting will usually bring the notice back up. Strictly necessary cookies don't require consent, since the site can't function properly without them.
