Cookie policy

Essential (always on)

These make the site work and keep your account safe. They are first-party and contain no advertising identifiers.

• cs_consent: remembers your cookie choice (180 days).
• Session cookie (__Host-better-auth.session_token) and cs_signed_in: keep you logged in once you sign in. Not set for signed-out visitors.
• cs_lang: your profile language, so the live lists show streamers in your language first (one year). Only set while you are signed in.
• two_factor: a 10-minute cookie while you finish a two-factor sign-in.
• Browser storage for your own settings and for security, such as your sidebar and boost preferences and a one-time page reload after an update.
• Browser storage for campaign and referral attribution (cs_first_touch, cs_ref, cs_promo): remembers which campaign or referral link brought you here so a sign-up can be credited. It stays on your device until you sign up and is never sent to third parties.

Analytics (off until you accept)

With your consent we measure visits and which pages are used: Google Analytics 4 sets its _ga and _ga_* cookies, and our own first-party visitor id (cs_vid) counts visits to landing pages without identifying you. Before you choose, Google Analytics runs in Consent Mode with storage denied: it may receive anonymous, cookieless page-view signals, and it sets no cookie. If you reject or withdraw consent, GA4 is switched off for the page and its cookies are removed.

cs_signup_ab (first-party, 90 days, set only when you have accepted Analytics cookies and only while we are testing sign-up screens): remembers which version of the sign-up page you were shown, so that you see the same one each time and we can compare how well each version works. It holds one letter and nothing about you. If you do not accept Analytics cookies, this cookie is not set.

Embedded players

Twitch and Kick stream players load only when you press play. Videos embedded in articles (YouTube, Twitch clips) are loaded by the article. Those services set and read their own cookies under their own policies; we do not control them. We do not run advertising or retargeting cookies. Links to casino partners are ordinary links: if you click one, that partner's site may set its own cookies on its own domain.
