On alternate-reality.co.uk
- Videos. Our homepage background video plays from Vimeo in "do not track" mode, so it sets no cookies. Our other videos come from YouTube, Vimeo, Google Drive and Instagram, and only load when you press play. YouTube videos use its privacy-enhanced player and Vimeo videos its do-not-track mode. Once a video plays, that service may store data on your device and see what you watched.
- Fonts. We host our fonts ourselves, so loading them sends nothing to anyone else.
- Forms. Our forms are run by Netlify, our website host. They set no cookies.
- Booking a call. If you apply and book a call, the booking calendar comes from Calendly and loads only at that step. Calendly shows its own cookie banner, so you can choose what it stores.
We don't set any analytics, advertising or tracking cookies ourselves.
