Cookie Policy
Last Updated: June 8, 2026
1. Use of Cookie Technologies
This Cookie Policy explains how ytubestream uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you navigate our dashboard, rankings index, or legal archives at https://ytubestream.com.
Cookies are short alphanumeric text files dispatched by web servers and saved locally inside your browser's persistent cache directories. When you load a website page, these files return parameters to the origin server to streamline layouts, log traffic patterns, preserve setting selections, and personalize advertising layouts.
2. Classification of Active Cookies
🛠️Essential Functional Cookies:
These cookies are necessary for core platform security, server routing safety, and client state preservation. For example, ytubestream utilizes local storage parameters (such as `ytubestream_cookie_consent`) to record whether you accepted or declined our cookie opt-in, preventing repetitive intrusive banner slideups on every single page load.
📈Analytical & Performance Tracking:
We use anonymous tracking files to compile aggregated statistical indices detailing general visitor demographics, traffic sources, page load velocities, and channel lookup frequency. This lets us optimize server caching layers and scale our PostgreSQL tables to accommodate high traffic without lag.
💰Third-Party Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense):
Google, as our primary advertising partner, places the DoubleClick cookie on user devices. This cookie tracks user interactions across ytubestream and other portals on the internet to serve targeted, personalized ads based on your specific browsing history.
3. Managing and Opting Out of Cookies
By default, browsers accept cookies on your device. You can customize your cookie preferences through our dynamic Cookie Consent Banner on your first visit, or block cookie storage altogether through your browser's security settings.
To disable personalized interest-based advertising handled via the Google AdSense DoubleClick network, navigate to Google's official Ad Preferences dashboard at https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
Please note that choosing to block essential or analytical cookies can degrade the performance of ytubestream. Disallowing ads does not hide ad placeholders; it simply reverts interest-based campaigns to generic, untargeted web promotions.
