This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how MEGAFR ("we," "our," "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and IPTV player application, and what choices you have regarding their use. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet, or TV) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners useful information about how their site is being used.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). They can be "first-party cookies" (set by the website you're visiting) or "third-party cookies" (set by a different website).
Below is a detailed breakdown of the cookies used on MEGAFR:
These cookies are essential for the website and application to function. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or setting your preferences.
