Cookies and Automatic Data Collection Technologies

As you navigate through and interact with Pornhub or Pornhub Premium (collectively the “Websites”), we use automatic data collection technologies to collect website activity data. The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include cookies, which are small text files that are stored in your web browser or downloaded to your device when you visit Pornhub Premium .

We currently use the following types of cookies, which are set by the Websites:

• Strictly necessary cookies: These are cookies that are required for the operation of the Websites. These include, for example, cookies that enable a user to log in to the Websites and to check if a user is allowed access to a particular service or content.
• Functionality cookies: These cookies help us to personalize and enhance your online experience on the Websites. This type of cookies allows us to recognize you when you return to the Websites and to remember, for example, your choice of language.
• Analytics cookies: These cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of users and to see how users use and explore the Websites. These cookies help us to improve the Websites, for example by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily. Additionally, we use third party session recording technologies that helps us better understand our users’ experience, however, the recording data is pseudonymized.
• Targeting and Advertising cookies: These cookies record visits of a user on the Websites, the pages a user visits and the links a user follows to enable us to make the Websites more relevant to the user’s interests and to help us serve ads that might be of interest to the user.

Expiration dates are set in the cookies themselves; some may expire after a few minutes while others may expire after multiple years.

Do Not Track: Our systems do not recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals.

Use of Google Analytics. We use Google as a service provider to collect and analyze information about how users use the Websites, including by collecting website activity data through first-party cookies set by our domains, and third-party cookies set by Google. Because we activated IP anonymization for Google Analytics, Google will anonymize the last octet of a particular IP address and will not store your full IP address. Google will use the information only to provide Google Analytics services to us and will not use this information for other purposes. In addition, the Websites uses Google Signals, which are also services provided by Google that help us to run remarketing campaigns, collect more accurate data, and understand in a better way how users engage with the Websites on different devices (cross-device activity). Google Signals apply to Google users who accept personalized advertising on their Google accounts. The information collected by Google Analytics may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States pursuant to standard contractual clauses approved by the EU and the adequacy decision of the EU Commission C (2023) 4745 confirming an adequate level of data protection in the US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and applicable national extensions (for example the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework). You can learn more on how Google uses data here, and you can opt-out of Google Analytics by visiting the Google Analytics opt-out page or by accepting only necessary cookies.
