Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This policy explains how GRID TV uses cookies and similar technologies — including browser local storage — on watchgridtv.com. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
A cookie is a small file a site stores in your browser. Local storage works similarly but stays on your device rather than being sent with every request. GRID TV uses both.
What we use, and why
Strictly necessary
Purpose: Keeping you signed in, securing form submissions, and remembering consent choices.
Examples: Authentication session storage set by our accounts provider; the consent record set by the GRID TV cookie banner.
Your control: These cannot be switched off without breaking sign-in and account features.
Functional
Purpose: Remembering playback position so 'Continue Watching' and resume work, plus interface preferences.
Examples: Local storage entries for watch progress on this device; your saved list when signed in.
Your control: Clear your browser's site data for watchgridtv.com to remove these.
Analytics
Purpose: Understanding which pages and titles are used, so we can fix what's broken and program better.
Examples: Aggregate page and playback counts recorded by GRID TV.
Your control: Blockable via your browser's tracking protection or an extension.
Advertising
Purpose: Serving ads on the free, ad-supported side of GRID TV and limiting how often you see the same ad.
Examples: Cookies set by Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager when advertising loads.
Your control: Use the GRID TV consent banner, and Google's own Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com.
Payments
Purpose: Processing subscription and purchase checkouts securely and preventing fraud.
Examples: Cookies set by Stripe during checkout.
Your control: Required to complete a payment; not used for advertising.
Third parties that may set cookies
Advertising and measurement cookies on GRID TV are set by Google (AdSense and Ad Manager). Checkout cookies are set by Stripe. Accounts and playback data are handled by our backend provider. These companies act under their own privacy policies for the data their cookies collect.
Managing your choices
Where consent is legally required, GRID TV shows a consent banner before non-essential advertising cookies load, and your choice is remembered. You can change it any time by clearing site data for watchgridtv.com, which makes the banner appear again. Every major browser also lets you block or delete cookies per site from its privacy settings.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break sign-in, saved lists and checkout. Blocking advertising cookies does not remove ads; it makes them less relevant.
Changes
We update this policy when the technologies we use change, and we revise the "last updated" date above when we do.
