Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how FlixFinder uses cookies and similar technologies on the FlixFinder website, applications, and related services (together, the "Service"). It should be read alongside the FlixFinder Privacy Policy: Privacy Policy.
Definitions
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| FlixFinder, we, us, our | The operator of the FlixFinder Service. |
| Service | The FlixFinder website, app, and related services, features, and pages. |
| You, your, user | Any person accessing or using the Service, including visitors, registered users, and subscribers. |
| Cookies | Small text files stored on your device by your browser or app to remember information about your visit or device. |
| Similar technologies | Technologies that store or access information on your device, such as local storage, SDKs, pixels, tags, and device identifiers. UK PECR treats these broadly as "storage and access technologies". |
| First party cookies | Cookies set by FlixFinder's domain. |
| Third party cookies | Cookies set by another domain, often used by analytics, advertising, or embedded services. |
| Strictly necessary | Cookies that are required to provide a service you explicitly request, such as login, security, session continuity, or shopping style functionality, and which are commonly exempt from consent requirements in EU and UK frameworks. |
| Consent | A clear, informed, specific, freely given opt in choice for non essential cookies. EU guidance makes clear that scrolling or continued browsing does not count as valid consent, and withdrawal must be as easy as giving consent. |
| Consent tool | The cookie banner, preference centre, and related controls used to record and apply your cookie choices. |
1. Why we use cookies and similar technologies
| Purpose area | What this enables | Typical examples |
|---|---|---|
| Service operation | Core site and app functionality, page navigation, account sessions, load balancing | Session cookies, security cookies, traffic distribution |
| Preferences | Remembering settings to reduce repeated inputs | Language, region, display options, saved filters |
| Performance and reliability | Measuring errors and performance to keep the Service stable | Crash reporting, performance metrics |
| Analytics | Understanding how users interact with features so we can improve the Service | Page views, feature usage, funnel steps |
| Security and abuse prevention | Detecting bots, scraping, fraudulent logins, unusual traffic | Rate limiting signals, risk scoring |
| Marketing and measurement, where enabled | Measuring campaigns and improving relevance of promotions | Conversion tags, attribution identifiers |
In EU contexts, non essential cookies generally require prior opt in consent before they are set.
2. What types of cookies we use
FlixFinder groups cookies and similar technologies into categories to make choices clear and auditable.
| Category | What it covers | Consent position in EU and UK |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Security, login, session continuity, consent record, fraud prevention essential for service delivery | Generally can be used without consent where the exemption applies. |
| Functional | Preferences and convenience features that are not strictly required | Usually requires consent in EU and UK unless it qualifies as strictly necessary. |
| Analytics | Measurement and usage insights | Typically requires prior opt in consent in EU and UK. |
| Marketing and advertising | Tracking, retargeting, cross site measurement, advertising profiling | Typically requires prior opt in consent in EU and UK, and may trigger opt out rights in some US states. |
UK guidance treats "cookies and similar technologies" broadly, and consent is generally required unless an exception applies.
3. How consent works on FlixFinder
3.1 EU and EEA, including GDPR plus ePrivacy rules
In the EU and EEA, the general model is:
non essential cookies should not be placed when the page first loads
you must be able to accept or refuse non essential cookies
consent must be informed and specific
withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving consent
3.2 UK, including PECR plus UK GDPR alignment
In the UK, cookies and similar technologies are mainly regulated under PECR, with consent generally required unless an exemption applies, and the ICO provides detailed guidance on storage and access technologies.
3.3 What FlixFinder does in practice
| Consent control | What we do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie banner | We present a banner or prompt where required, before non essential cookies are placed | EU guidance expects prior consent for non essential cookies. |
| Preference centre | We provide a method to set choices by category | Supports "specific and informed" consent expectations. |
| Withdrawal | We provide a way to change choices later, and it should be as easy as consenting | Required expectation in EU consent guidance. |
| Refusal | Where required, refusal should not block core access, except where a cookie is strictly necessary for a requested service | Common compliance expectation. |
4. Cookie list and transparency
We maintain a cookie inventory that describes cookies and similar technologies used on the Service. This inventory may be shown in the preference centre or appended here.
| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Name | Cookie or identifier name |
| Provider | FlixFinder or third party provider |
| Category | Strictly necessary, functional, analytics, marketing |
| Purpose | What it does in plain language |
| Duration | Session or time based retention |
| Data access | Whether it stores, reads, or both |
| Location of processing | Where the provider processes data, where relevant |
EU guidance expects clear information about cookies and purposes before consent is obtained.
5. Third party cookies and embedded tooling
Some features use third party providers, for example analytics, error monitoring, or payment related status. Where third party cookies are present:
they may collect usage and device information in line with their own policies
we aim to restrict third party cookie use to what is necessary for the relevant purpose and your selections
where required, third party cookies are not placed until you opt in
This is particularly relevant in EU contexts where non essential cookies cannot be set on first page load.
6. How to manage cookies
You can control cookies in three main ways.
| Control method | What it controls | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| FlixFinder preference centre | Category level choices for this Service | Best option for changing consent decisions on FlixFinder |
| Browser settings | Blocking, deleting, or limiting cookies at device level | May break login, preferences, or core functions |
| Device and platform controls | App permissions and advertising identifiers on mobile platforms | Platform options vary by device and OS |
Disabling strictly necessary cookies may impact the Service because they can be required to deliver a function you requested, such as staying signed in.
7. California privacy rights and cookies
If FlixFinder is subject to the CCPA as amended by the CPRA for certain users, some cookie based activities can be treated as "sharing" of personal information for cross context behavioural advertising, which can trigger opt out rights.
The California Attorney General's CCPA information describes the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link requirement for businesses that sell personal information, and that users should be able to submit opt out requests without being forced to create an account.
| California control | What FlixFinder may provide where applicable | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Do Not Sell or Share | A clear opt out mechanism where FlixFinder's cookie based sharing qualifies | Third party advertising and measurement sharing where it meets the legal definition |
| Limit use of sensitive personal information | Only if FlixFinder processes sensitive data in scope | Usually not triggered by standard media discovery cookies, but included if relevant |
If you are not a California resident, these controls may not apply, but we still aim to provide a consistent preference experience.
8. Australia and other jurisdictions
Australia does not currently operate a cookie specific consent regime identical to the EU ePrivacy model, but disclosure and good practice are still important, particularly if cookies are used to collect personal information or track behaviour. If you target EU users, opt in consent is typically required for non essential cookies.
If FlixFinder expands into new markets, we may adjust our cookie controls to match local requirements.
9. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or Service functionality. The "Last updated" date reflects the current version. Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Policy.
