We use Vimeo to embed videos on our site. When a video is loaded, Vimeo sets cookies that are necessary for secure playback and to prevent abuse (like bot traffic). These are considered essential for the video to work properly. We also use a setting (dnt=1) that disables Vimeo’s own analytics and tracking features.
