This information can help us improve the speed, reliability and usability of TV Fix Guide.

TV Fix Guide may display advertising to support the operation and continued development of the website.

Where advertising services are used, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as:

Delivering advertisements

Providing personalized advertising where permitted and consented to

Google Advertising Services

TV Fix Guide may use advertising services provided by Google or other advertising technology companies.

If such services are active, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure and manage advertisements according to applicable privacy rules and visitor choices.

Depending on your location and consent choices, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.

Personalized Advertising

Personalized advertising may use permitted information about previous browsing activity, interests or interactions to select advertisements that may be more relevant to a visitor.

Where consent is legally required, cookies used for personalized advertising should not be activated until the necessary consent has been obtained.

Non-Personalized Advertising

Non-personalized advertisements may be selected using contextual information such as the content of the page, approximate location or general advertising settings.

Limited cookies or other storage technologies may still be used for purposes such as fraud prevention, frequency control, aggregated reporting or basic ad delivery where permitted.

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are cookies placed directly by TVFixGuide.com.

These cookies may support essential website operations, preferences, security or other functionality controlled by TV Fix Guide.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies used when visiting TV Fix Guide may be placed or controlled by third-party service providers.

Third-party services may include:

Analytics providers
Advertising providers
Security services
Anti-spam services
Content delivery networks
Hosting infrastructure providers
Embedded services

Third-party cookies are generally governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the companies providing those services.

Session Cookies

Session cookies generally remain active only while your browser session is open and may be deleted when you close your browser.

They may be used for temporary website functions that do not need to remain active between visits.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies may remain stored after you close your browser until they reach their expiration date or are manually deleted.

These cookies may help remember preferences or privacy choices between visits.

Cookie Consent

Depending on your location, TV Fix Guide may request permission before using cookies that are not strictly necessary for website operation.

Where a cookie consent tool is displayed, visitors may be able to accept, reject or manage different categories of cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies may remain active because they are required for essential website functionality or security.

Changing Your Cookie Preferences

Where a cookie preference tool is available on TV Fix Guide, you may use it to review or change your selections.

You may also manage cookies through your browser settings.

Most browsers allow you to:

View stored cookies
Delete individual cookies
Delete all cookies
Block third-party cookies
Block all cookies
Allow cookies only from selected websites
Clear cookies when the browser closes

Browser Cookie Controls

Cookie controls are generally available in your browser's privacy or security settings.

The exact procedure depends on the browser and device you use.

Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of TV Fix Guide and other websites.

Consent Records

Where a consent management system is used, a cookie or similar technology may be required to remember your privacy choices.

This helps prevent the website from repeatedly asking you to make the same cookie selection on every page.

Limited information about consent preferences may also be retained where reasonably necessary to manage or document those choices.

Cookies and Contact Forms

Cookies or similar security technologies may be used with our Contact forms to reduce spam, automated submissions and malicious activity.

Information that you intentionally submit through a contact form is addressed separately in our Privacy Policy.

Cookies and TV Troubleshooting Content

Cookies do not allow TV Fix Guide to remotely inspect or control your television.

Visiting an article about Samsung TV, LG TV, Roku, Fire TV, Hisense, TCL, Sony, Vizio or another device does not give us remote access to that device.

Cookies used by the website relate to the browser and website experience rather than providing remote access to your television.

We Do Not Store Your TV Passwords in Cookies

TV Fix Guide does not require visitors to provide television, streaming service or manufacturer account passwords in order to read our troubleshooting guides.

You should never submit Netflix, Amazon, Roku, Samsung, LG or other account passwords through our website forms.

Security Technologies

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to help protect TVFixGuide.com against malicious traffic, spam, unauthorized access attempts and automated abuse.

Security systems may process limited technical information needed to identify suspicious activity and protect website infrastructure.

Local Storage and Similar Technologies

Websites may use browser technologies other than traditional cookies, including local storage, session storage or similar storage mechanisms.

These technologies may be used for similar purposes, such as remembering settings or supporting website functionality.

References to cookies in this policy may also include similar technologies where appropriate.

Embedded Content

TV Fix Guide may occasionally include content or functionality supplied by third-party services.

Embedded content may use cookies or other technologies when it is loaded or interacted with.

The use of these technologies is subject to the policies of the applicable third-party provider.

Manufacturer and Support Links

Our troubleshooting guides may link to external support resources provided by television manufacturers, streaming platforms and other companies.

These may include Samsung, LG, Roku, Amazon, Hisense, TCL, Sony, Vizio and other providers.

When you leave TVFixGuide.com, the destination website may use its own cookies according to its own privacy practices.

Streaming Service Links

TV Fix Guide may link to external services such as Netflix, YouTube, Amazon or other streaming platforms.

Cookies placed after you visit one of these external websites are controlled by that service rather than TV Fix Guide.

Affiliate Links

Some TV Fix Guide pages may contain affiliate links.

If you follow an affiliate link, the destination website or affiliate network may use cookies or similar technologies to identify that the visit originated from TV Fix Guide.

Information collected after leaving TVFixGuide.com is governed by the applicable third party's privacy and cookie policies.

Cookie Duration

The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on its purpose and configuration.

Some cookies expire when your browser closes, while others may remain for a defined period or until you delete them.

Third-party providers may determine their own cookie retention periods.

Do Cookies Identify You Directly?

Many cookies identify a browser or device rather than identifying a visitor directly by name.

However, cookie identifiers and related technical data may still be considered personal information or personal data under certain privacy laws.

TV Fix Guide therefore aims to handle cookie-related information in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

Do Not Track and Privacy Signals

Some browsers and devices may transmit Do Not Track or other privacy preference signals.

Technical and legal standards for these signals may vary between jurisdictions.

Where required by applicable law and supported by our technologies, recognized privacy preference signals may be handled accordingly.

Visitors From the European Economic Area and United Kingdom

Visitors from jurisdictions requiring consent for non-essential cookies may be presented with a consent interface before certain analytics, advertising or similar technologies are activated.

Where required, visitors may be able to accept or reject non-essential cookie categories and change those choices later.

United States Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have privacy rights involving specific forms of personal information processing, targeted advertising or data sharing.

Applicable rights depend on the relevant law, website technologies and visitor circumstances.

Privacy requests may be submitted through our Contact page.

Your Cookie and Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to withdraw consent or object to certain uses of cookies and similar technologies.

More information about visitor privacy rights is available in our Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Privacy Practices

TV Fix Guide does not control every cookie or technology used directly by third-party providers.

Visitors should review the privacy and cookie policies of relevant third parties if they want detailed information about how those companies process data.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when website technologies, analytics services, advertising systems, legal requirements or our privacy practices change.

The latest version will be published on this page and may include a revised "Last updated" date.
