Cookies Policy
Last reviewed:
Methstreams uses cookies and similar technologies on the website. This page describes what cookies are set and why.
Strictly necessary cookies
We set a small number of strictly necessary cookies to operate the site. These cookies do not require consent under UK or EU law.
- Session identification cookies for the rendering of localised content (US, UK or Canadian regional pages)
- CDN-set cookies for traffic routing and DDoS mitigation (set by Cloudflare)
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand aggregate site usage. GA4 sets cookies with names beginning _ga and _gid. These cookies anonymise IP addresses by default in the EEA and UK regions.
The data collected by GA4 includes:
- Anonymised IP address (truncated)
- Pages viewed and time on page
- Referrer URL
- Device type and browser
- Approximate location (country and region only)
We do not collect personally identifying information, account credentials, or any data that could be used to identify an individual visitor.
Advertising cookies
We may display third-party advertising. The ad networks we use set cookies for frequency capping and ad targeting. The specific cookies depend on which ad network is serving the impression and what content the ad relates to.
Ad networks that operate on Methstreams currently or may operate in future:
- Adsterra (popunder and socialbar inventory)
- RollerAds (push notification inventory, only with explicit browser permission)
Managing cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. All major browsers allow you to block, delete or restrict cookies on a per-site basis. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent the site from rendering correctly.
The advertising cookies set by Adsterra and RollerAds can also be managed through each provider’s opt-out portal.
Updates
We may update this cookies policy from time to time. The “last reviewed” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update.
