StreamZilla No cookies, no trackers

A video player without cookies or trackers

Nothing to consent to. So every visitor sees your video.

The StreamZilla player sets no cookies and loads no trackers: no Google, no Facebook, no advertising scripts, no tracking pixels, no third-party analytics. It does not fingerprint your viewers either. Your video simply plays.

That is not a setting you have to find. It is how the player is built.

Free during the beta. For organisations. Nothing to pay.

No consent needed
Without cookies, trackers or third-party requests, there is nothing to ask consent for.
Your full audience
Visitors who refuse cookies still see your video. You do not lose reach to a banner.
Statistics without spying
View statistics are collected server-side, pseudonymised and not shared with any third party.

Trackers are just as bad as cookies

Cookies get all the attention, but trackers are the bigger problem. Scripts and pixels from third parties send your visitors’ IP address, device details and viewing behaviour elsewhere, often to the United States, with or without a cookie. Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules, that needs consent just the same.

What often goes wrong with other players

Before consent. Many embedded players already set cookies and load trackers the moment the page opens, before the consent banner has even appeared. That is not allowed.
After refusal. Some keep doing it even after the visitor clicks “reject”. Your organisation is responsible for what happens on your website, not the platform.
When they do follow the rules. A player that waits for consent shows nothing to visitors who refuse. A large part of your audience then never sees your video, which seriously limits your reach.

With StreamZilla, none of this applies: there is nothing to block and nothing to ask, so your video reaches everyone.

Check any player yourself: open the developer tools of your browser, load the page without accepting anything, and look at the network requests and the stored cookies. Read our guide on embedding YouTube and Vimeo under the GDPR.

Frequently asked questions

Does StreamZilla set any cookies or load trackers?

No. Neither our website nor our player sets cookies or loads trackers, which is why there is no cookie banner.

Do I need a consent banner for the StreamZilla player?

Not for our player: it sets no cookies, loads no trackers and contacts no third parties. (Optional Chromecast support is off by default; if you switch it on, casting uses Google’s technology.) Check your own website for other tools that may need consent.

How do I get viewing statistics without cookies?

StreamZilla collects statistics server-side, from the delivery itself, pseudonymised by removing the last part of the IP address, and never shares them with any third party.
