Cookie Policy
Last updated: 15 May 2026
We use cookies to make our website work, understand how it's used, and improve your experience. This page explains exactly what cookies we set and why.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to work more efficiently, and to provide information to the website operator.
Cookies can be “session cookies” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them). They can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by third-party services the website uses (“third-party cookies”).
2. What Cookies We Use
We use three categories of cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are always active. Optional cookies are only set with your consent.
Strictly Necessary
These cookies are essential for the website and customer panel to function. They cannot be disabled. They do not collect any personally identifiable information and are used solely to provide core functionality (login sessions, security, consent storage).
Analytics Cookies
These optional cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website — which pages are popular, how long people stay, and where traffic comes from. This data is aggregated and anonymous. We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. These cookies are only set if you consent.
Payment & Functional
These cookies are set by our payment processor (Stripe) during checkout to prevent fraud and maintain your payment session. They are only active when you are making a purchase and are deleted when your session ends.

3. How to Control Cookies
You have several options for controlling cookies:
Cookie consent banner
When you first visit our website, you will be shown a consent banner. You can accept or decline optional analytics cookies at that point. You can change your preference at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in our website footer.
Browser settings
You can configure your browser to block or delete all cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the website from functioning correctly. Browser controls are available in settings for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and all other major browsers.
Google Analytics opt-out
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Do Not Track
We respect the Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal. If you have DNT enabled, we will not set analytics cookies.
4. Third-Party Services
Our website uses the following third-party services which may set their own cookies:
Google Analytics
Website usage analytics
Stripe
Payment processing and fraud prevention
PayPal
Alternative payment processing
These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies. We recommend reviewing their policies for full details of the cookies they set.
5. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as we add or remove third-party services or as laws change. The most current version will always be available at ibostreaming.com/cookies. Material changes will be communicated via our cookie consent banner so you can update your preferences.
