Cookie Policy
x-hamster.io sets no cookies. A check of the code of all nine pages on 12.10.2026 found no script that writes a cookie and no analytics or advertising tags. Cookies can still reach your browser after you leave through a /go link to xHamster, and this page explains where.
Storage x-hamster.io Uses Instead of Cookies
The one item x-hamster.io keeps on your device is a record of your 18+ answer, held in local storage under the name xh_age_ok rather than in a cookie. It is written only after you press Enter on the age notice, holds the time of that click, and stops counting after 30 days, when the notice appears again. UK rules cover any technology that stores or reads information on a device, not just cookies, the ICO said on 11.09.2025, which is why the entry is listed here. Full detail is in the Privacy Policy.
Cookies Set After a /go Click
When a /go link has taken you to xHamster or one of its partners, those sites and any affiliate tracking between them can set cookies, for example to credit x-hamster.io with a referral if you later buy Premium. Their own cookie policies apply there, and x-hamster.io does not control those sites, as the Disclaimer says.
Blocking cookies does not make that click anonymous. The /go redirect runs through x-hamster.io's own address, and that redirect may attach a referral code to the address it forwards you to, a mechanism the Affiliate Disclosure describes. To arrive at xHamster uncounted, type xhamster.com into the address bar. Questions about a particular link go through the Contact page.
Font Requests to Google
Google's font server sees your IP address whenever an x-hamster.io page fetches its typeface, even though no cookie is involved. Fonts are not cookies. The Privacy Policy covers that request and how to block it.
Browser Defaults That Limit Third-Party Cookies
Two major browsers already limit cross-site cookies without any change in settings, Safari by blocking them and Firefox by isolating them per site. Safari has blocked all third-party cookies by default since 24.03.2020, according to WebKit. Firefox has kept each site's cookies in a separate jar for all desktop users since 14.06.2022, when Mozilla made Total Cookie Protection the default (9to5Mac). Chrome blocks them by default only in Incognito windows; in normal windows you choose the block option under Privacy and security, then Third-party cookies, according to Chrome Help. None of this affects reading x-hamster.io, which depends on no cookies at all.
If x-hamster.io ever adds a cookie, it will be listed here before it goes live, with a new date at the foot of the page. The Terms of Service cover the rest of the rules, and the About Us page names the editor who answers for this text.
