TV5 USA's Cookie Policy

Why Cookies are important

Cookies help make your online experience more efficient and relevant to your interests. For instance, they are used to help you navigate between pages more efficiently.

What is a Cookie?

A Cookie is a small file, or files on your computer, phone, or other device with a browser to save snippets of text for reference by the website you are visiting.

Most Cookies have expiration dates in them that determine how long they stay in your browser:

· Session Cookies - these are temporary Cookies that expire (and are automatically erased) whenever you close your browser.

· Persistent Cookies - these usually have an expiration date and so stay in your browser until they expire, or until you manually delete them. For example we use persistent Cookies for functionality including not re-showing the cookie banner when you’ve made your choice. We also use persistent Cookies to better understand usage patterns so that we can improve the site for our website users:

They are sometimes used to create or access the Cookies on your browser, but are not Cookies themselves.
