Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They can be first-party (set by this site) or third-party (set by external services embedded on the page). Cookies may persist across sessions or expire when you close the browser.

First-Party Cookies

This website uses one first-party entry in localStorage (not a cookie in the traditional sense, but a similar client-side storage mechanism):

• cookie-consent — stores your cookie preference (accepted or rejected). Never sent to any server. Expires when you clear your browser's site data.

No tracking, analytics, or session cookies are set by this website itself.

Third-Party Cookies (Video Players)

Some pages embed videos from YouTube and Vimeo. These cookies are only loaded after you click "Accept" in the cookie banner. If you decline, video players remain blocked and no third-party cookies are set.

YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com)

Videos are embedded using YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain, which reduces — but does not eliminate — cookie placement. The following cookies may be set when a video is played:

• VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE — estimates bandwidth and tracks whether you have interacted with YouTube's embedded player. Duration: 6 months.
• YSC — registers a unique ID for the session to track statistics of embedded videos. Duration: session (deleted when browser is closed).
• PREF — stores user preferences such as page language and search settings. Duration: 8 months.

YouTube is a service of Google LLC. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

Vimeo

Vimeo embeds include the dnt=1 (Do Not Track) parameter, which instructs Vimeo to minimise tracking. The following cookies may still be set:

• vuid — identifies the visitor to Vimeo's video analytics. Duration: 2 years.
• _abexps — used for A/B testing of Vimeo's player interface. Duration: session.

Vimeo is a service of Vimeo, Inc. For more information, see Vimeo's Privacy Policy.

How to Manage Cookies

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie banner at the bottom of any page (clear your browser's site data to see it again if you have already made a choice). You can also manage cookies directly in your browser:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of some features (e.g. video playback) on this and other websites.
