Twitch: Difference between revisions

I added the information which Twitch collects from an individual, I will be adding a category for disclosure policies of said info and adding a category for someone to go more in depth with their cookies and how they use them. I'm not a cookies expert so if someone could look at the policies for them it would be great as they supposedly list all of the cookies they use *Besides the third party ones*
