Summary
The UK IPTV website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or advertising trackers. Our pages load web fonts from Google Fonts, which does not set cookies through our use but does mean Google receives your IP address. If you click a WhatsApp button, short.gy and WhatsApp may use their own cookies under their own policies.
Cookies on this website
This cookie policy explains how the UK IPTV website uses cookies and similar technologies. In short: our website sets no cookies, and we use no analytics, advertising or tracking tools. Because of that, you will not see a cookie consent banner on this site. The site is operated by [Owner to confirm: legal entity name].
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser so it can recognise your device later. They are used for things such as keeping you logged in, remembering preferences, measuring visits and targeting adverts. Similar technologies include local storage, tracking pixels and device fingerprinting.
In the UK, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) require websites to ask for consent before storing non-essential cookies or similar technologies on your device. The ICO publishes guidance on this.

Google Fonts
To display text consistently, our pages load font files from Google Fonts. When a page loads, your browser requests these files directly from Google servers. Our use of Google Fonts does not set cookies, but Google receives your IP address and basic browser information as part of each request, as with any web request. Google handles this data under its own privacy policy. More detail is in our privacy policy.
WhatsApp and short.gy
Our order buttons, support buttons and contact page form open WhatsApp through a short.gy link with a pre-filled message. Nothing happens until you click. Once you do, you leave our website: short.gy handles the redirect and WhatsApp (operated by Meta) opens in your app or browser. These services may use their own cookies or similar technologies, which are governed by their own cookie and privacy policies, not this one.
The contact form itself does not send anything to our servers. It builds the WhatsApp message in your browser, and you choose whether to send it.
How to control cookies in your browser
Even though this site does not set cookies, you may want to manage cookies used by other websites. All major browsers let you view, block and delete cookies:
- Chrome: Settings, then Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies (or Cookies and other site data).
- Safari (iPhone, iPad and Mac): Settings or Preferences, then Privacy, where you can block cookies and remove website data. See Apple Support for device-specific steps.
- Firefox: Settings, then Privacy & Security, then Cookies and Site Data.
- Edge: Settings, then Cookies and site permissions.
Menu names change between versions, so check your browser's help pages if these do not match. Blocking all cookies can stop some other websites working properly. Private or incognito browsing deletes cookies when you close the window.
Reducing third-party requests
If you do not want your browser to contact Google when you visit, some browsers and privacy extensions can block third-party font requests. The site should still work, although text may appear in a default font. [Owner to confirm: whether fonts will be self-hosted in future, which would remove this request].
Changes to this cookie policy
If we ever add cookies, analytics or other tracking, we will update this policy first and, where the law requires, ask for your consent before anything non-essential is set. Last updated: [Owner to confirm: publication date]. Questions can be sent via the contact page. See also our terms and conditions and disclaimer.
Questions answered
Why is there no cookie banner on this site?

Does Google know I visited?
Your browser requests font files from Google Fonts, so Google receives your IP address and browser details. Our use of Google Fonts does not set cookies.
Does WhatsApp use cookies?
WhatsApp, Meta and short.gy may use their own cookies once you click a WhatsApp button and leave our site. Their own policies apply.
