Cookieverklaring (Cookie Policy)

Twitch lets outside companies — Amazon advertising, Branch, Salesforce DMP and comScore are named — place cookies on your device. These are used to target ads at you on other websites and to figure out where new Twitch users come from. That means your Twitch activity feeds advertising systems beyond Twitch itself.

“Helps Twitch (1) acquire new users by delivering targeted Ads to users off Twitch properties (2) Measure marketing campaign ROI to determine the sources of new Twitch users.”

What you can do — Open Settings > Security and Privacy > Cookie Preferences to turn off advertising cookies if that option appears in your region, and use the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) or Your Online Choices (youronlinechoices.com) tools to opt out more broadly.

Advertising cookies record what you browse, what you seem to like, and identifiers that point to your specific device. The notice also covers pixel tags, web beacons and local storage, which are harder to spot and are not always removed when you clear cookies.

“Advertising cookies (also known as targeting or marketing cookies) are cookies that collect information about a user's browsing activity, preferences, and device identifiers”

What you can do — Clear site data (not just cookies) in your browser regularly and turn on your browser's tracking protection.

There is no promise to email you or warn you before the rules change. The only way to find out is to notice the "last modified" date yourself. Continuing to use Twitch after a change counts as agreeing to it.

“We reserve the right to change, supplement or replace this Cookie Notice at any time. Please refer to the "last modified" legend at the top of this page to see when this Cookie Notice was last revised.”

What you can do — Check the "last modified" date on the Cookie Notice page from time to time, since you won't be told directly.

You are treated as accepting the cookie practices simply by loading the site, making an account, or using Twitch — no click or signature needed. In practice this means your consent is assumed unless you go find the settings and change them.

“By visiting [www.twitch.tv](https://www.twitch.tv/), creating your Twitch account, or using the Twitch Services, you are accepting the information handling practices and storage, and access of cookies as described in this Cookie Notice.”

What you can do — Set your choices on the cookie banner the first time it appears instead of dismissing it, then confirm them in Settings > Security and Privacy > Cookie Preferences.

Cookies set by Twitch can stay for up to thirteen months counted from your last visit, so a tracker can outlive your use of the site by more than a year unless you delete it yourself. Third-party cookies aren't covered by this 13-month cap.

“Twitch-originated persistent cookies on Twitch Services will have a maximum lifespan of thirteen months from the time you last used the Twitch Services.”

What you can do — Delete Twitch cookies in your browser settings if you stop using the service.

Twitch says that once a partner's cookie is on your device, it neither controls nor can see the data, and that partner's own privacy policy applies. If something goes wrong with that data, Twitch is pointing you somewhere else.

“While Twitch allows third parties to access Twitch Services website to place a third-party cookie on your device, Twitch does not retain control over the information supplied by the cookies, nor does Twitch retain access to this information.”
