Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how ELI6 Movies uses cookies and similar storage technologies when you visit our site.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences over time. ELI6 Movies primarily uses the browser's localStorage API rather than traditional HTTP cookies — the effect is similar but localStorage data is never automatically sent to our server with every request.
2. What we store and why
All storage used by ELI6 Movies from our own domain (eli6movies.vercel.app / eli6movies.com) is listed below.
| Key | Type | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
| token | localStorage | Authentication — keeps you signed in | Until sign-out or expiry |
| user | localStorage | Cached user profile (username, email) | Until sign-out |
| eli6.prefs | localStorage | Appearance settings (theme, mode, accent, layout) | Persistent until cleared |
| myList | localStorage | Cached My List for offline access | Until sign-out or next sync |
| keepWatching | localStorage | Cached watch progress for Continue Watching row | Until sign-out or next sync |
| eli6.cookies.accepted | localStorage | Records your cookie consent so the banner does not reappear | Persistent until cleared |
3. Third-party storage
The Player page embeds video streams from third-party providers (VixSrc, VidSrc, Embed.su, AutoEmbed, and others). These embeds load in an iframe from a different domain. Those providers may set their own cookies or localStorage entries, which we have no access to or control over. Please review each provider's own privacy and cookie policies if you have concerns.
Google Fonts and the Google Cast SDK are loaded from Google's CDN. Google may set cookies as part of these services. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
4. Strictly necessary storage
All storage listed in section 2 is strictly necessary for the service to function. Without the authentication token you cannot sign in; without preferences storage the site cannot apply your chosen theme. Because this storage is essential, it does not require consent to function — however we still show the cookie notice so you are fully informed.
5. No advertising or tracking
ELI6 Movies does not use any advertising cookies, tracking pixels, fingerprinting scripts, or analytics services. We do not share browsing data with advertisers.
6. How to clear this data
You can clear all locally stored data at any time by:
- Opening your browser's developer tools → Application → Local Storage → clearing entries for this site.
- Using your browser's "Clear site data" or "Clear browsing data" feature.
- Signing out from the Account page, which removes your auth token and cached data.
- Deleting your account from the Account page, which removes all server-side data.
