Embedded Content
We embed third-party content to enrich the website.
All embedded media (such as YouTube videos or Spotify players) have been replaced with static placeholders. A connection to the third-party provider is established only when you click to load the content.
When possible, we minimize third-party exposure by using dedicated privacy modes (such as YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode). However, once loaded, these external providers may set third-party cookies which we can’t block. These cookies are managed by the respective providers under their own privacy policies. You can configure your browser to block third-party cookies, and some modern browsers do so by default.
