Privacy policy
I highly value your privacy and do not collect personal data through my website www.rickkarens.com. My website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies through third-party services. These include:
Vimeo player
I use Vimeo to embed videos. The videos are loaded with the dnt=true (do not track) parameter, which means that Vimeo minimizes tracking but may still collect certain technical data (such as play time and IP address) for security and performance purposes. Vimeo uses Cloudflare for security and performance enhancement. As a result, the following cookies may be set:
__cf_bm: This cookie is essential for managing incoming traffic and filtering bots, contributing to the security of the website.
_cfuvid: This cookie is essential for identifying users behind a shared IP address and adjusting security settings accordingly to detect and prevent suspicious activities.
YouTube player
I use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode for embedding videos. This mode is designed to protect your privacy by not setting cookies until you actually play the video. Therefore, no cookies from YouTube will be placed on your device until you choose to play a video. Once a video is played, cookies may be set by YouTube in accordance with its own privacy policy. The duration of these cookies can vary based on YouTube's policies and the specific settings of the video. For more information about YouTube's cookies and their retention periods, please refer to YouTube's Privacy Policy.
Cookie management
If you want to restrict or block the cookies set by third-party services, you can do so through your browser settings. Each browser is different, so check the Help section of your browser for instructions on how to change your cookie settings. Alternatively, you can visit www.internetcookies.org, which provides comprehensive information on how to manage cookies on a wide variety of browsers and devices. This website also offers general information about cookies and details on how to delete cookies from your device.
