Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Lyvy Stream, operated by LyvyStreamCorp, may use cookies and similar technologies when users visit or interact with the Lyvy Stream website, applications, video player, live-streaming services, creator tools, and related features.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to operate the platform, remember preferences, maintain security, understand service performance, and support advertising or other features where implemented and legally permitted.

This Policy should be read together with the Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and GDPR & COPPA Compliance Policy.

Lyvy Stream will configure its actual cookie practices, consent controls, and third-party integrations in accordance with applicable law. Describing a technology in this Policy does not mean it is currently active on every Lyvy Stream service.

---

The purpose of this Cookie Policy is to explain:

1. What cookies and similar technologies are.

2. Why Lyvy Stream may use them.

3. What categories of cookies may be used.

4. How third-party technologies may operate on the platform.

5. When consent may be required.

6. How users can manage their preferences.

7. What privacy rights may apply to cookie-related processing.

This Policy applies to cookies and similar technologies used in connection with Lyvy Stream services, where applicable, including:

Different services may use different technologies. The actual technologies depend on the platform's implementation, browser, device, application, and applicable settings.

Cookies and similar technologies may process information that qualifies as personal data under applicable law.

The Privacy Policy explains Lyvy Stream's broader personal-data practices, including purposes of processing, sharing, retention, and applicable user rights.

If cookie-related processing requires consent under applicable law, Lyvy Stream will provide the relevant consent mechanism before conducting that processing.

For purposes of this Policy:

---

When a user visits a website, the website may store or access information on the user's browser or device.

This information can help the website recognize a browser, maintain a session, remember a preference, detect suspicious activity, or understand how a service is being used.

Cookies do not all serve the same purpose. Some are essential for a requested service, while others support optional analytics, personalization, or advertising.

Lyvy Stream may use technologies similar to cookies where implemented, including:

The legal requirements applicable to these technologies depend on how they operate, the information they access, the purposes of processing, and the user's location.

Depending on the technology and configuration, cookie-related processing may involve:

Lyvy Stream should collect only information that is necessary for the relevant purpose and permitted by applicable law.

Some cookies contain identifiers that can be associated with a particular browser or device rather than a person's name.

However, such identifiers may still qualify as personal data or personal information when they can be linked to an individual, account, or other identifying information.

Lyvy Stream will assess cookie-related information according to the applicable legal definitions rather than assuming that anonymous-looking identifiers are always outside privacy laws.

---

Strictly necessary cookies may support essential website or service functions.

Depending on the platform's implementation, these functions may include:

Where applicable law permits these technologies without consent, Lyvy Stream may use them for the essential purposes for which they are necessary.

Strictly necessary cookies should not be used as a general justification for optional advertising or unrelated analytics.

Functional cookies may remember user preferences or improve the convenience of using the platform.

Depending on availability, they may support:

Where required by law, Lyvy Stream will obtain consent before using functional technologies that are not strictly necessary.

Analytics cookies or similar technologies may help Lyvy Stream understand how users interact with its services.

Depending on implementation, analytics may measure:

Analytics data should be collected and used according to applicable law, the relevant privacy notice, and any required consent settings.

Lyvy Stream should not describe analytics as anonymous or exempt from consent unless the actual configuration and applicable legal requirements support that conclusion.

Advertising cookies and related technologies may be used to support advertising functions, where implemented.

Possible purposes include:

Advertising technologies may involve third-party providers. Lyvy Stream should identify the providers actually used and disclose relevant processing practices.

Lyvy Stream may use technologies to remember preferences or support personalized content experiences, where implemented.

These technologies may relate to viewing preferences, content interactions, or other signals used to improve the service.

Where such processing involves cookies or device access that requires consent, Lyvy Stream will obtain valid consent before activating the relevant optional technologies.

Lyvy Stream may use cookies or similar technologies to help identify suspicious activity, protect accounts, prevent abuse, and maintain platform integrity.

Such technologies may support security monitoring, rate limiting, authentication protection, or fraud prevention.

Their use must remain proportionate to the relevant purpose and comply with applicable privacy requirements.

Session cookies are generally intended to expire when a browsing session ends.

Persistent cookies remain stored for a defined period or until the user deletes them or they otherwise expire.

The duration of a cookie should reflect its purpose. Lyvy Stream should avoid keeping identifiers longer than necessary and should document retention periods for technologies it controls.

---

First-party cookies are set by Lyvy Stream's website or service.

Depending on implementation, they may support login sessions, security, preferences, or other platform functions.

Lyvy Stream is responsible for evaluating its own use of these technologies and providing any notices or controls required by applicable law.

Certain platform features may rely on third-party providers, where implemented.

These may include providers of:

A third-party provider may use its own cookies, identifiers, or similar technologies in accordance with its role and applicable terms.

Lyvy Stream should disclose relevant providers and processing practices when required by law.

Third-party services may operate under their own privacy notices and terms.

Lyvy Stream does not automatically control all processing conducted by an independent third party. However, where Lyvy Stream selects or integrates a provider, it must address its own legal responsibilities, including applicable transparency, consent, contractual, and security obligations.

Users should review the relevant provider's privacy information when interacting directly with that provider's services.

Videos, media players, social integrations, or other embedded features may load content or technologies from external providers.

Depending on how an embedded feature operates, it may communicate information to the provider when loaded or used.

Where legally required, Lyvy Stream must provide appropriate notice and obtain consent before enabling optional embedded technologies that access or store information on a user's device.

If a user purchases a subscription, digital item, or another paid feature, payment-related pages may use technologies necessary to complete or secure the transaction.

Payment providers may also use their own technologies under their privacy and service terms.

Lyvy Stream should distinguish technologies necessary for a requested transaction from optional analytics or advertising technologies.

---

The rules for storing or accessing information on a user's device vary by jurisdiction and technology.

In the European Union, certain cookie and device-access rules may require consent even when the information involved is not personal data. Under the GDPR, subsequent processing of personal data must also have an appropriate legal basis.

In the United States and other jurisdictions, different privacy laws may apply to cookies, targeted advertising, the sale or sharing of personal information, or related processing.

Lyvy Stream must determine which requirements apply to its actual technologies and users.

Where consent is required, Lyvy Stream must obtain valid consent before activating the relevant optional cookies or similar technologies.

A valid consent mechanism should provide clear information and a meaningful choice.

Where required, the platform should not activate optional technologies merely because a user continues browsing, ignores a banner, or closes a notice without making a choice.

Where a cookie preference tool is provided, it should allow users to make choices about optional technology categories in a clear and accessible way.

Depending on applicable law and implementation, the available choices may include:

Lyvy Stream should ensure that rejecting optional cookies is not unnecessarily more difficult than accepting them where applicable law requires equivalent choices.

Users may withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted before withdrawal.

Lyvy Stream should provide a practical method to change cookie preferences, such as a cookie-settings control or another accessible mechanism.

Once consent is withdrawn, Lyvy Stream should stop the relevant consent-based processing and prevent further optional storage or access as required by law.

Where consent is required, Lyvy Stream should maintain appropriate records demonstrating that consent was obtained.

Records may include the consent choice, relevant preference categories, time of consent, and the version of the notice presented, where appropriate and proportionate.

Lyvy Stream should not collect or retain unnecessary information merely to record consent.

Cookie preferences may be stored in a browser or device and may not automatically apply to another browser, device, or application.

Users may need to configure preferences separately where the technical implementation or applicable law requires it.

Lyvy Stream should clearly explain relevant limitations in its consent interface.

Where children use Lyvy Stream, additional legal requirements may apply to cookies, device identifiers, advertising, analytics, and other technologies.

Lyvy Stream must not rely on a child's consent where applicable law requires authorization from a parent or legal guardian.

The platform must also comply with relevant restrictions on collecting or using children's personal information, including COPPA where applicable.

See the GDPR & COPPA Compliance Policy.

---

Where the GDPR applies, Lyvy Stream must identify an appropriate lawful basis for processing personal data associated with cookies and similar technologies.

Depending on the circumstances, lawful bases may include consent, contractual necessity, legal obligation, or legitimate interests.

The existence of a lawful basis under the GDPR does not automatically remove separate consent requirements that may apply to storing or accessing information on a user's device.

Where applicable law provides these rights, users may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data associated with their account or cookie-related activity.

Some information may be retained where a lawful exception applies, including certain security records, financial records, or information necessary to establish or defend legal claims.

Where the GDPR applies, users may have the right to object to certain processing or request restriction of processing under the conditions established by law.

Users may also have the right to object to direct marketing, including related profiling, where applicable.

Where legally available, users may request qualifying personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

This right applies only under the conditions established by the relevant law and does not extend to every category of data or processing activity.

Depending on the user's state of residence and the scope of the applicable law, users may have rights concerning personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of certain information.

Some laws also provide rights to opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of personal information, or certain forms of profiling.

Lyvy Stream must assess whether its activities fall within each applicable law and provide the controls and disclosures required by that law.

Certain privacy laws require covered businesses to recognize qualifying universal opt-out mechanisms or browser-based signals for specified processing activities.

Where legally required and technically applicable, Lyvy Stream should honor recognized signals, including Global Privacy Control, for the activities covered by the relevant law.

The effect of a signal may depend on the applicable jurisdiction, service, and legal requirements.

Users may begin a privacy request through the available Lyvy Stream channels:

Requests should explain the concern and identify the relevant account or service where possible.

Lyvy Stream may request proportionate verification to protect personal information against unauthorized disclosure.

Lyvy Stream will respond to valid privacy requests within the time required by applicable law.

For example, the GDPR generally requires a response within one month, subject to legally permitted extensions. Other laws may establish different deadlines.

The applicable timeframe depends on the type of request and the law governing it.

Most modern browsers allow users to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings.

Users may also be able to configure browsers to block certain cookies or notify them when cookies are being stored.

Blocking cookies may affect login sessions, preferences, video playback, purchases, or other features that depend on them.

Users can generally delete cookies stored by a website through their browser settings.

Deleting cookies may remove saved preferences, sign the user out, or reset certain settings.

Deleting existing cookies does not necessarily prevent new cookies from being stored if the user visits the service again. Consent settings may need to be reviewed separately.

Private or incognito browsing may limit the retention of certain browsing data on a device after the private session ends.

It does not necessarily prevent websites, service providers, or network operators from receiving information during the session.

Private browsing should not be treated as a substitute for cookie consent controls or other privacy rights.

Mobile applications may use technologies that do not operate exactly like browser cookies.

Depending on the device and operating system, users may be able to manage certain permissions, advertising identifiers, tracking preferences, or app data through system settings.

The available controls vary by operating system and application version.

Some third-party advertising or analytics providers offer their own privacy settings or opt-out tools.

Using a provider's tool may affect only that provider's processing and may not apply to all Lyvy Stream technologies.

Users should review the relevant provider's current privacy information and the scope of its controls.

---

Cookie and identifier retention periods should be proportionate to the purpose for which the information is used.

Session cookies may expire at the end of a session, while persistent cookies may remain for a specified period.

Lyvy Stream should maintain an inventory of the technologies it controls and review their expiration settings regularly.

Lyvy Stream should apply appropriate security measures to cookie-related information and associated systems.

Measures may include secure cookie attributes, access restrictions, secure transmission, configuration reviews, and monitoring for misuse.

The specific safeguards depend on the technology, its purpose, and the risks associated with the information processed.

If a security incident affects personal information associated with cookies or similar technologies, Lyvy Stream should investigate and respond according to its incident-response procedures.

Where required, Lyvy Stream must notify regulators or affected individuals within the applicable legal timeframe.

Lyvy Stream should review the cookie and tracking practices of third-party providers integrated into its services.

Where required, contracts and technical controls should restrict processing to authorized purposes and address security, consent, and privacy obligations.

A provider's technology should not be deployed without understanding its relevant data collection and legal implications.

Lyvy Stream should maintain appropriate documentation of its cookie practices, including, where applicable:

This documentation should be updated when technologies or processing purposes change.

---

Lyvy Stream may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in law, technology, platform features, third-party providers, or data-processing practices.

The updated version will be published with a revised date.

Where required by law, Lyvy Stream will provide additional notice or obtain renewed consent before implementing material changes to optional technologies.

Users should review this Policy periodically.

For questions about cookies, consent, tracking, or privacy rights, users may begin through the following channels:

Lyvy Stream should publish a dedicated privacy contact method where appropriate and ensure that cookie-related requests are routed to personnel authorized to handle them.

Cookies and similar technologies can support the operation, security, and improvement of Lyvy Stream, but their use must remain transparent and consistent with applicable law.

Lyvy Stream will administer its cookie practices according to the technologies actually deployed, the choices available to users, and the privacy requirements that apply.
