Cookie Policy

Last Updated: March 19, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how TVDuel uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on our website.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide useful information to website owners, and improve user experience.

Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you are visiting) or "third-party" (set by external services or advertisers). They may also be "persistent" (remain on your device until they expire or are deleted) or "session" (automatically deleted when you close your browser).

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies like web beacons, pixels, and local storage for tracking and analytics purposes.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and tracking technologies on TVDuel for three main purposes:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the basic operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access (if applicable). Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.

Examples include session cookies that maintain your navigation state and security tokens that protect against malicious activity.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous information about:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Navigation paths and click patterns
  • Browser type, device, and operating system
  • General geographic location (city/country level)

This data helps us improve our website's usability, identify popular content, and optimize the user experience.

Marketing/Affiliate Cookies

TVDuel uses affiliate marketing programs to monetize our service. Marketing cookies track your interactions with affiliate links and help attribute purchases correctly so that we receive commissions that support our website.

These cookies are typically set by third-party affiliate networks or retailers when you click on an affiliate link and are redirected to their site.
