What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser when you visit. They allow the site to remember certain information about your session — such as your preferences or whether you've visited the page before.
At StreamFix we use cookies for only two things: ensuring the basic functionality of the website and anonymous traffic measurement so we know which guides and VPNs to update first. We do not use cookies for advertising profiling, retargeting, or sharing data with ad networks.
What cookies we use
We divide cookies into three categories. Essential cookies cannot be turned off — the website wouldn't work properly without them. Analytics and functional cookies are optional and you can refuse or withdraw consent at any time.
List of specific cookies
Below are all cookies that streamfix.io may store in your browser — their name, purpose, duration, and whether they are essential or optional.
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
sf_consent | Stores your cookie banner choice (accepted/declined/custom settings) so the banner doesn't appear repeatedly. | 12 months | |
sf_csrf | Token protecting the contact form against CSRF attacks. Contains only a random string, no personal data. | Session | |
_ga | Google Analytics — anonymous browser identifier to distinguish unique visitors (not linked to a person). | 2 years | |
_ga_XXXXXXXX | Google Analytics 4 — session tracking and visit duration, no personal data. | 2 years | |
sf_country | Remembers the last selected country in the streaming availability comparison tool. | 6 months | |
sf_theme | Remembers the preferred color scheme (light / dark), if offered. | 12 months |
_ga, _ga_*) are only stored if you have consented to analytics cookies. If you declined or withdrew consent, these cookies will not be stored and Google Analytics will not load.Consent and cookie banner
On your first visit to streamfix.io a cookie banner will appear where you choose which cookies to allow. We load analytics and functional cookies only after your consent — never beforehand. Without consent, only essential cookies are loaded.
How to manage or delete cookies
You can manage cookies in two ways: directly through our website settings (by clicking the 🍪 icon in the footer), or in your browser settings. Deleting cookies in your browser automatically revokes your consent — the banner will appear again on the next page load.
Where to find cookie settings in your browser:
For mobile devices (iOS Safari, Android Chrome), you'll find cookie management in the browser app settings under Privacy or History.
Cookies and third parties
StreamFix does not load any advertising networks or third-party tracking pixels (Facebook, TikTok, Twitter/X ads, etc.). The only third party that may store a cookie in your browser on streamfix.io is Google Analytics — and only with your consent and always with an anonymized IP address.
The website contains affiliate (partner) links to VPN provider websites. Clicking such a link takes you to a third-party site that is governed by its own cookie and privacy policies — these are outside the scope of this policy. We recommend reviewing them on the respective provider's website.

We may update this cookie policy if we add new features or change the tools we use. The date of the last update is always shown in the page header. If we add a new type of cookie that requires consent, we will display the cookie banner again — even for existing visitors.
