Cookie & Storage Policy
The short version
- GIGAXXX itself sets no cookies at the moment.
- Your settings, lists and history are saved in your browser's localStorage, and we keep no copy of them.
- Cloudflare, our CDN and security provider, may set strictly necessary security cookies to tell humans from bots.
- We use no analytics tools, advertising cookies or third-party trackers; anonymous video statistics can be switched off in Cookie settings.
- You can review your choices through the Cookie settings link in the footer and clear your data at any time.
Contents
This policy explains what GIGAXXX stores in your browser, why, and how you can control it. It complements our Privacy Policy, which covers all the personal data we process.
What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small pieces of data that a website asks your browser to save and send back with later requests. They stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.
The browser’s localStorage is a similar storage area. A website can save information in it, but that information is not sent automatically with each request. It stays on your device until it is deleted, either by the website or by you.
We don’t set cookies
GIGAXXX itself sets no cookies at the moment. Instead, it uses your browser’s localStorage so that its features work without an account. Unlike cookies, localStorage is not sent along with the requests your browser makes. We keep no copy of this data: to display your lists, your browser only asks our server for the details of the videos they contain, and nothing is stored (see our Privacy Policy). It is not kept after you close a private or incognito window.
What we store in your browser
| Key | Purpose | Kept until |
|---|---|---|
giga.prefs |
Hover previews on/off, history on/off | You clear site data |
giga.recent |
Your last 6 searches (only if history is on) | You clear it / switch history off |
giga.viewed |
Your last 48 viewed videos (only if history is on) | You clear it / switch history off |
giga.saved |
Watch later and Favorites lists | You remove items / clear site data |
giga.votes |
Your like or dislike on each video | You clear site data |
giga.resume |
Where you stopped in your last 40 videos | You clear site data |
giga.player |
Volume, speed, quality, autoplay | You clear site data |
giga.consent |
Your cookie & storage choices, including Video statistics, and when you made them | You change them / clear site data |
giga.go |
Videos you opened from GIGAXXX in the last minute, so that they start playing at once | One minute |
giga.sess |
The time of your last activity, to tell a new visit from a continuing one (video statistics) | Replaced at each visit / you clear site data |
giga.sesh |
The last 5 videos you watched during the current visit, for up to one hour (video statistics, only if history is on) | Replaced as you watch / switch history off |
All of these entries are essential storage: they exist only to make the features you use work, which is why the Essential category in our settings is always on. Recent searches, recently viewed videos and giga.sesh are saved only while the “History on this device” switch is on; giga.sess and giga.sesh are written only while Video statistics are on.
Cloudflare security cookies
Cloudflare is our content delivery network (CDN) and security provider. It sits in front of the site and processes every request to deliver the site and protect it against attacks. When it needs to tell humans from bots, Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies such as __cf_bm or cf_clearance.
These cookies are used only for security, never for analytics or advertising, and they are kept only as long as needed for that purpose. Because they are strictly necessary to protect the site, they are not controlled by the Analytics or Advertising switches. Our Privacy Policy explains how Cloudflare processes request data.
Our contact and report forms are also protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, an anti-spam check that loads from Cloudflare only when you use one of these forms. It runs in its own frame served by Cloudflare and sets no cookies on gigaxxx.com.
Video statistics, analytics and advertising
GIGAXXX counts anonymous statistics per video (which videos are shown, opened and watched, and for how long) to rank videos by what visitors enjoy. They use no cookie and no identifier, are added to everyone else’s as soon as they arrive, and are described in our Privacy Policy. You can switch them off with Video statistics in the Cookie & storage settings.
GIGAXXX uses no analytics tools, no advertising cookies, no third-party trackers, and no third-party fonts or embeds. The only third-party script is Cloudflare Turnstile on our two forms. No ads are displayed.
If we introduce analytics or advertising later, they will stay off until you agree where the law requires consent, and we will update this policy before they start.
Managing your choices
Cookie & storage settings
Select Cookie settings in the footer to open the Cookie & storage settings dialog. It shows four categories:
| Category | Status |
|---|---|
| Essential | Always on: the browser storage described above |
| Video statistics | On: anonymous counts per video, used to rank videos; switch it off here |
| Analytics | Off — not in use |
| Advertising | Off — not in use |
Your choices, and when you made them, are saved in giga.consent. You can reopen the dialog from the footer at any time to review or change them.
Controls on the site
- History on this device: switch it off (menu → Preferences, and in the search panel) to remove your recently viewed videos and recent searches and stop saving new ones.
- Clear buttons: clear your recently viewed videos on the home page and your recent searches in the search box.
- Saved page: remove items from the Watch later, Favorites and History tabs on the Saved page.
How to clear storage in your browser
Deleting the site data for gigaxxx.com removes everything GIGAXXX has saved in your browser, including your lists, history, preferences and cookie & storage choices. We have no copy, so this cannot be undone. Menu names vary between browsers and versions, but the steps are usually:
- Chrome, Edge and other Chromium-based browsers: open Settings, go to Privacy and security, open the section on cookies and site data, search for gigaxxx.com and delete its data.
- Firefox: open Settings, go to Privacy & Security, select Manage Data under Cookies and Site Data, search for gigaxxx.com and remove it.
- Safari on Mac: open Safari Settings, go to Privacy, select Manage Website Data, search for gigaxxx.com and remove it.
- Safari on iPhone and iPad: open the Settings app, go to Safari, then Advanced and Website Data, find gigaxxx.com and delete it.
- Other mobile browsers: while on gigaxxx.com, tap the icon next to the address bar, open the site settings and delete the stored data.
You can also clear all your browsing data at once, but this removes data for every website. If you block storage for gigaxxx.com, features that depend on it, such as Watch later, Favorites, History, resume and your player settings, cannot remember your choices.
On a shared device
Use a private or incognito window: nothing GIGAXXX stores is kept after you close it.
Changes to this policy
We will update this policy before we start using any new cookie or browser storage, including for analytics or advertising, and we will change the “last updated” date.
