    • Analytics cookies
      These track site usage anonymously to help us improve performance and user experience.

    • YouTube embed cookies
      These may be set when YouTube videos are embedded, supporting analytics, personalization, and ad targeting.

  • Embedded content from platforms like Spotify and YouTube may set cookies to support playback, personalization, and analytics. These cookies are governed by their respective privacy policies and may include tracking technologies. We do not control or access data collected by these services.

    To reduce tracking, we may use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode where possible, which limits cookie placement until the video is played.
