Advertising (only once advertising is switched on)
Google AdSense shows ads on some pages. In the UK, the European Economic Area and Switzerland, Google asks for your consent first, and its advertising cookies (for example __gads, __gpi, __eoi and IDE) are used only if you agree; you can still see ads that are not personalized. Google records your choice in its own cookies (FCCDCF, FCNEC). In US states with privacy laws, you can opt out of personalized advertising through the Privacy choices link at the foot of every page, and we treat a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as that opt-out. Google’s cookies last up to 13 months. How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Trailers
Trailers play from YouTube’s privacy-enhanced service, and nothing loads from YouTube until you press play. Once you do, YouTube may store information in your browser under Google’s privacy policy.
