What cookies are
Cookies are short text files that your browser stores when you visit a website. They help the page remember that you’ve been here before, which country you picked in the availability tool, or whether you agreed to traffic measurement. Alongside cookies, we also use what’s called localStorage and sessionStorage. Both are additional storage locations in your browser, and for clarity we group them in this policy under the term “cookies.”
StreamFix is operated by LISTIFY s.r.o., a Czech limited liability company headquartered in Prague. This policy describes which cookies and similar technologies we use, what they’re for, on what legal basis we process the data, and how you stay in full control of all of it.
Tools behind the website
For full transparency, here’s an overview of every external service StreamFix relies on. For each one, we note whether it stores anything in your browser and whether it requires your consent.
| Service | Consent type | What it does | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| PostHog | Consent typeAnalytics | What it doesAnonymous traffic measurement: which page visitors open, how long they stay, and what source they came from. Data flows through our reverse proxy streamfix.io/ingest to eu.i.posthog.com and never leaves the EU. | LocationEU |
| Vercel Analytics | Consent typeNot required | What it doesPage performance measurement (Core Web Vitals: load speed, interactivity, layout stability). Doesn’t identify you, doesn’t store cookies, and doesn’t track behavior across sites. | LocationEU / USA |
| Vercel (hosting) | Consent typeNot required | What it doesWeb server and CDN that delivers the page to your browser. For technical reasons it processes your IP address, but only to deliver the content, never for marketing. | LocationEU (edge network) |
| Neon | Consent typeNot required | What it doesDatabase where we store information about streaming platforms, VPN services, and translated pages. Doesn’t process visitor personal data; it only holds website content. | LocationEU (Frankfurt) |
| Resend | Consent typeNot required | What it doesSends emails (contact form confirmations, messages to the operator). Runs entirely server-side, with nothing happening in the browser. | LocationUSA |
| Facebook Pixel | Consent typeMarketing | What it doesMarketing cookies from Meta. They measure which ad brought you to StreamFix and help reach similar audiences. We only load them if you agree to marketing. | LocationEU / USA |
| Google Ads | Consent typeMarketing | What it doesConversion measurement for Google ads and remarketing. Loaded only if you’ve agreed to marketing. | LocationEU / USA |
| Microsoft Advertising (UET) | Consent typeMarketing | What it doesConversion measurement for Bing search and remarketing across Microsoft’s network. Loaded only if you’ve agreed to marketing. | LocationEU / USA |
eu.i.posthog.com region, and the Neon database is hosted in the Frankfurt data center. Vercel and Resend may transfer data outside the EU. In that case we rely on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) approved by the European Commission and on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.Cookie categories
We sort cookies into four categories. Necessary cookies always load, since the site wouldn’t function technically without them and you couldn’t even confirm consent. The other three categories (functional, analytics, marketing) are optional, and we offer them in the cookie banner.
List of storage
Below is the exact list of every cookie and similar storage StreamFix may set in your browser. The state matches the update date in the page header. If we change anything, we update the date as well.
Cookies
| Name | Category | What it does | Lifetime |

sf_lang | Category | What it doesRemembers that you picked a language manually (overrides the browser setting). | Lifetime12 months |
sf_currency | Category | What it doesRemembers the displayed currency (EUR, CZK, USD, GBP, and others). | Lifetime12 months |
sf_lang_dismissed | Category | What it doesA flag noting that you dismissed the prompt suggesting a different language version based on your browser settings. | Lifetime30 days |

_fbp, fr, _fbc | Category | What it doesFacebook Pixel cookies for ad measurement and remarketing. Loaded only if you’ve agreed to marketing. | Lifetimeup to 90 days |

Browser storage (localStorage)
Technically these aren’t cookies, but in principle they work the same way: the browser keeps them across sessions until the user or the site clears them.
| Name | Category | What it does | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
sf_consent | Category | What it doesA more detailed copy of the sf_consent cookie with the exact time of choice and the status of each category individually. | LifetimeUntil cleared |
entry_popup_shown | Category | What it doesTimestamp of when we last showed you the entry offer (coupon / discount). Prevents the offer from appearing too often. | Lifetimeabout 14 days |
Session storage (sessionStorage)
Persists only while the browser tab is open. As soon as you close the tab, all of these entries disappear.
| Name | Category | What it does | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
sf_sid | Category | What it doesRandom session ID that helps analytics tie multiple events together within a single visit. | Lifetimeuntil tab closes |
entry_popup_dismissed | Category | What it doesA flag noting that you dismissed the entry offer in this tab. | Lifetimeuntil tab closes |
exit_intent_dismissed | Category | What it doesA flag noting that you dismissed the offer shown when leaving the site. | Lifetimeuntil tab closes |
streamfix_fx_cache | Category | What it doesCache of the daily exchange rates from the Czech National Bank, so the rates don’t have to reload every time you switch currency. | Lifetimeuntil tab closes |
Behavior by country
European, UK, and Brazilian law require active consent before any non-necessary cookie is loaded. In the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, and other countries, the standard is the opposite: opt-out, meaning cookies load automatically and the visitor has the right to refuse them. StreamFix respects both customs, and the cookie banner automatically behaves differently depending on where you’re visiting from.
Strict mode (opt-in)
Activated for visitors from 33 countries where GDPR, UK GDPR, the Swiss FADP, or Brazil’s LGPD apply:
Light mode (opt-out)
For visitors outside Europe and Brazil, we show a short informational notice instead. Necessary and functional cookies load right away, and we activate analytics immediately so the site works the way local conventions expect. You can change your choice anytime from the notice or the website footer.
Addendum for the US (CCPA / CPRA)
In California and other states with their own consumer-protection laws (Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah), we add a “Your Privacy Choices” link in the website footer. It opens the same settings panel as in Europe. Through it, you can refuse the “sharing” of data with ad partners and withdraw marketing consent even when the banner doesn’t show up by default in light mode.
sf_geo cookie for 24 hours. If detection fails (for example, because of a VPN), the default behavior is strict: better to ask than to load silently.Cookie banner
In strict mode, the banner gives you three equal options. Refusing doesn’t cost you a single extra click.

Affiliate links
StreamFix is funded through partner (affiliate) commissions. When you click the “Try VPN” button in our reviews, the provider sends us a commission from the subscription you sign up for. It has no impact on you: the price you pay is the same as if you went straight to their site.
The click doesn’t go directly to the VPN’s site. It first passes through our short interstitial page streamfix.io/go/[vpn-name], where over roughly a second and a half four things happen:
Third parties
