EaglecastCookies Policy
A plain-English look at what cookies we set, why they're there, and how to turn them off if you'd like.
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how Eaglecast TV uses them on eaglecasts.tv, and what you can do about it. If you want the bigger picture on how we handle your data, check out our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Think of cookies as tiny sticky notes your browser keeps for a website. When you visit eaglecasts.tv, we can drop a small text file on your device — your computer, phone, or tablet. That file lets the site remember things like whether you've already accepted cookies or which plan page you were looking at.
Some cookies last only until you close the tab — those are called session cookies. Others stick around for months or years until they expire or you delete them. Those are persistent cookies.
2. How We Use Cookies
We're not big on collecting data for its own sake. Here's what we actually use cookies for:
- Keeping the site working properly — the pricing toggle, the free trial form, the mobile menu. They'd break without essential cookies.
- Remembering your cookie choice so we don't ask you every single visit.
- Understanding which pages people find useful so we can make the site better (analytics — only after you say yes).
- Showing relevant offers when you've consented to marketing cookies.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
You can't turn these off — and honestly, you wouldn't want to. Without them the site just doesn't work right. Things like logging your cookie preference fall into this bucket.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
cookie_consent |
Saves your cookie consent decision so we don't ask again | 1 year (localStorage) |
Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to see which pages get the most traffic and how people move around the site. The data is grouped and anonymised — there's no way for us to tie it back to you personally. We only turn analytics on after you've said yes to non-essential cookies.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics — tells visits apart | 2 years |
_ga_* |
Google Analytics — tracks session state | 2 years |
Third-Party Cookies
If you follow a payment link to PayPal or Stripe, those companies may set cookies on their own sites. We don't control what they do — check their own privacy policies for the full story.
4. Your Cookie Choices
When you land on eaglecasts.tv for the first time, a banner pops up and lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your mind any time — here's how.
Reset your consent
Hit the button below and we'll clear your saved preference. The consent banner will come back on your next page load so you can pick again.
Browser settings
You can also go straight to your browser settings and manage cookies from there:
- 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: blocking all cookies will break some parts of the site.
Opt out of Google Analytics
Rather block Google Analytics everywhere, not just here? Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on — it works across all websites, not just ours.
5. Changes to This Policy
We'll update this page if we change how we use cookies or if regulations shift. The "Last updated" date at the top tells you when we last made changes. Worth checking back every now and then.
