Cookie Policy

In addition to cookies, StreamKite's dashboard uses your browser's localStorage to remember interface preferences. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is never automatically sent to our servers — it stays entirely in your browser unless you take an explicit action to sync it.

We use localStorage to remember:

• Your selected timezone (so your scheduled streams fire at the right time in your local time)
• Your dashboard theme preference (dark or light mode)
• Your stream slot identifiers and access keys (stored locally for convenience, never transmitted in background requests)
• UI layout and view preferences

All locally stored data can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser's site data for streamkite.live. This will not affect your actual stream slots or account — those are stored server-side and tied to your access key.

StreamKite uses third-party payment processors to handle all financial transactions securely. When you complete a purchase, you are redirected to or interact with their checkout interface. These processors may set their own cookies as part of their fraud prevention and payment security systems — this is governed entirely by their own privacy policies, not ours.

Like every web server on the internet, StreamKite maintains server-side access logs. These are not cookies — they don't live in your browser and you cannot clear them from your end. They are recorded on our infrastructure when your browser makes a request to our servers.

Our access logs record the following for each request:

• Your IP address
• The page or resource requested
• The referring URL (if your browser sends one)
• Your browser's user agent string (browser type and operating system)
• The date and time of the request

This data is used exclusively for:

• Platform security — detecting and blocking automated scanning, brute-force attempts, and malicious traffic
• Abuse prevention — identifying patterns consistent with platform misuse
• Infrastructure performance monitoring
• Diagnosing technical issues

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights under applicable data protection legislation (including GDPR for EU/UK residents and similar laws in other jurisdictions). These rights include:

• Right of access — you may request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
• Right of erasure — you may request deletion of your personal data, subject to our legitimate interest in security and fraud prevention
• Right to object — you may object to processing of your data where we rely on legitimate interest as our legal basis
• Right of rectification — you may request correction of inaccurate personal data
• Right to data portability — you may request your data in a portable format where technically feasible

Since StreamKite's strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent requirements under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR Article 6(1)(b) (necessary for the performance of a contract), we do not present a cookie consent banner. However, this does not affect your other data subject rights listed above.

You have full control over cookies in your browser. You can view, block, or delete cookies at any time through your browser's settings. Note that blocking or deleting StreamKite's strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from staying logged in to your dashboard.

Instructions for the most common browsers:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

To clear only StreamKite's cookies without affecting other sites, use your browser's "Manage website data" or "Site settings" feature and search for streamkite.live.

This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the bottom of this page.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of StreamKite after any update constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised policy. If we ever introduce new categories of cookies — for example, optional analytics cookies — we will update this policy and, where required by law, seek your explicit consent before setting them.

We will never silently introduce advertising or tracking cookies without updating this document and notifying users. That is a commitment, not just a legal formality.

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, want to exercise your data rights, or simply want more information about how we handle data at StreamKite, we're here to help.
