Third party cookies

However, we cannot control the cookies that are used by vimeo when a user is logged into the service. This sits with the user’s acceptance of Vimeo’s cookie and privacy policies.  If you are a registered Vimeo member, you can also manage the cookies you use in the Vimeo settings.

Furthermore, a set of cookies regarding Google AdSense advertising campaigns might be set, which contain identifiers that record user browsing behavior.
