Required for TVOD rentals: login, session, 3-7 day rental tracking, DRM playback, security, and fraud prevention. The site cannot function without these. They are not used for marketing.

4. Functional Cookies
Remember your preferences: region, language, recently viewed titles, and active rental status. These improve usability but are not required for core playback.
5. Third-Party Cookies
