Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how HibingeTV ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on www.hibingetv.com (the "Service"). A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. We use cookies for three reasons: to keep the advertising that funds the Service working, to measure how the site is used, and to remember your watchlist between visits. We do not use cookies to track you across the web for our own purposes.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential cookies. The Service itself does not set any cookies that are strictly required for it to function. Your watchlist is stored using browser localStorage, which is not a cookie. You can clear localStorage from your browser settings the same way you clear cookies.

Advertising cookies. We use Google AdSense and Meta Pixel. These services set cookies to measure ad performance and, where you have consented, to serve ads based on your interests.

Analytics cookies. We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how the site is used. These services set cookies to count visits, recognize returning users, and record how pages are interacted with.

Embedded player cookies. When you play a film, the player is loaded from the Internet Archive, YouTube, or Vimeo. Those hosts may set their own cookies. We do not control these. See the privacy policy of the relevant host for details.

Google AdSense Cookies

The following cookies may be set by Google when ads are served on the Service. The exact cookies depend on your region and whether you have consented to personalized ads:

  • __gads: Stores ad preferences and helps measure ad performance. Persists for up to 13 months.
  • __gpi: Stores ad preferences and helps measure ad performance. Persists for up to 13 months.
  • IDE: Used by Google to serve interest-based ads and measure ad performance. Persists for up to 13 months.
  • NID: Stores user preferences, including whether non-personalized ads should be shown. Persists for up to 6 months.
  • test_cookie: A short-lived cookie Google uses to check whether your browser accepts cookies. Expires after about 15 minutes.

In regions where consent is required, such as the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, Google shows a consent prompt before setting personalized advertising cookies. You can change your choice later. In other regions, these cookies may be set automatically, but you can opt out at any time.

Google Analytics Cookies

Google Analytics uses cookies to count visits and recognize returning users. The cookies it may set include:

  • _ga: Distinguishes individual users. Persists for up to 2 years.
  • _ga_<container-id>: Used by Google Analytics 4 to maintain session state. Persists for up to 2 years.
  • _gid: Distinguishes users for 24 hours, if enabled.

We have configured Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses where possible. You can opt out with theGoogle Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Microsoft Clarity Cookies

Microsoft Clarity uses cookies to identify returning users and to stitch together session recordings. The cookies it may set include:

  • CLID: Identifies a unique user across pages. Persists for up to 1 year.
  • ANONCHK: Used by Clarity to throttle request rates. Persists for up to 1 day.
  • _clck: Persists the Clarity user ID and preferences. Persists for up to 1 year.
  • _clsk: Links analytics data across page views. Persists for up to 1 day.

Meta Pixel Cookies

The Meta Pixel uses cookies to measure the effectiveness of our content and to understand the actions people take on the site. The cookies it may set include:

  • _fbp: Used by Meta to deliver advertising and measure ad performance. Persists for up to 90 days.
  • fr: Used by Meta to deliver advertising and measure ad performance. Persists for up to 90 days.

You can manage how Meta uses your data for advertising in yourMeta ad settings.

Managing and Deleting Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or ask before a cookie is set. Blocking advertising and analytics cookies will not stop the Service from working, but it may cause you to see less relevant ads or, in some regions, no ads at all.
