Cookie policy
Last updated 29 July 2026
This page lists every cookie and every piece of browser storage this website can write, what each one is for, and how long it lasts. It complements our privacy policy, which covers personal data more broadly.
Nothing beyond the strictly necessary storage below is written before you tell us it is fine. Refusing is a single click, costs you no feature, and we ask again after six months rather than treating your answer as permanent.
Your current choice
Strictly necessary
Written without consent, because the site cannot honour your choices without them. They carry no identifier and are never shared.
| Name | Provider | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| rm_cookie_consent | Pollen Robotics | Local storage | Records which cookie categories you accepted or refused, so the banner is not shown again on every page. | 6 months |
Audience measurement
Written only after you turn on the analytics category. Until then the Google Tag Manager container is not even downloaded, and turning the category back off deletes these cookies.
| Name | Provider | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Cookie | Assigns a randomly generated identifier so repeat visits can be counted as one visitor rather than several. | 2 years |
| _ga_WX4T6KQ6WL | Google Analytics | Cookie | Keeps the session state for our Google Analytics 4 property, so page views within one visit are grouped together. | 2 years |
Embedded content
Written by third parties, and only once you click to load their content. Nothing is requested from these providers while the placeholder is showing.
| Name | Provider | Type | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE | YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com) | Cookie | Set by the YouTube player when you start a video, to estimate your bandwidth and pick a stream quality. | 6 months |
| YSC | YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com) | Cookie | Session identifier the YouTube player uses to count views of the videos you watch. | Session |
Content embedded from other sites
Some blog posts embed a Hugging Face Space so you can try a demo without leaving the page. Loading one puts you in touch with huggingface.co, which applies its own privacy policy and may write its own cookies. The same goes for the YouTube player: we use the no-cookie domain and never load it until you click, but once the video starts, YouTube is the one setting the cookies listed above.
Changing your mind
Use the button above, or the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of any page. Turning audience measurement off deletes the Google Analytics cookies immediately and stops any further measurement, without a page reload.
You can also block or delete cookies from your browser settings. Doing so is entirely up to you and will not break this site, since none of our features depend on the optional categories.
