COOKIES
A cookie is a small text file that a website creates and accesses through your browser when you visit the site. Cookies are used for many purposes, such as to track language preferences, provide customized web page content, and display website navigation history.
Cookies used by MX MOVIES do not contain personally identifying information, do not give us access to anything on your device. We only use session cookies that expire with each visit (unlike permanent cookies that can track visitors across multiple visits, websites, and time). Our session cookie contains a randomized number intended to help your browser interact better with dynamic content on our site, and is not for tracking purposes. Should you opt-out of our web analytics, a cookie will be set to recognize your preference. Data generated from MX MOVIES cookies are not used to identify visitors, and are never shared with third parties.
THIRD PARTY COOKIES
When visiting our site, your browser may receive longer-term permanent cookies from Google, a third party. This may happen because some MX MOVIES web pages host video content stored on YouTube, and also because our site offers the Google Custom Search function. Consequently, Google may track your online activities across other websites. We have attempted to limit the privacy impacts of third party Google cookies on our site through technical and contractual means.
You do not have to accept any cookies to access or search the MX MOVIES website. However, there may be minimal loss of functionality if you have disabled or deleted all cookies. Please consult your browser settings (and browser plugins) which allow you to configure whether and how you receive cookies.
