This notice explains the cookies and similar technologies used on whys.vc (the "Site") and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy. Please read it carefully.
A cookie is a small file placed on your device that stores information when you visit a website. "Similar technologies" include pixels (web beacons), tags, local storage, software development kits (SDKs), and embedded third-party content (such as videos) that, when loaded, causes your browser to send information — including your IP address and device/browser identifiers — to the third party hosting that content. Cookies may be "session" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" (remain until they expire or you delete them), and may be set by us ("first-party") or by others ("third-party").
We aim to keep tracking to a minimum. Strictly necessary technologies load automatically because the Site cannot function without them. Non-essential third-party content (such as embedded videos) does not load until you choose to load it or accept it through our cookie banner. The first time you visit, a cookie notice is displayed; you can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in our footer.
| Category | What it does | Loads before consent? | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core delivery, security, and remembering your cookie choice | Yes (required) | Hosting/CDN ([Vercel/Cloudflare]); consent-preference storage |
| Web fonts | Typography/appearance | No third party — fonts are self-hosted, so no outside provider receives your IP. | Self-hosted DM Sans & Instrument Serif |
| Images | Photos shown on the Site | Recommended self-hosted; any consent-gated third-party images load only after opt-in. | Self-hosted images |
| Embedded media | Video playback | No — shown as a click-to-load preview; the real player loads only when you click and consent. | TED (embed.ted.com); Vimeo (player.vimeo.com) |
| Analytics | Understanding Site usage | No — none currently in use; if added, only after consent. | (none at this time) |
| Marketing / advertising | Targeted advertising | Not used | (none) |
| Provider | Privacy policy |
|---|---|
| TED Conferences, LLC | ted.com |
| Vimeo, Inc. | vimeo.com/privacy |
Use the Cookie settings link (also in our footer) to accept or decline non-essential technologies at any time. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be turned off. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may stop working. General guidance is available at allaboutcookies.org. If you block or reject cookies, not all tracking described here may stop, and choices are specific to each browser and device.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. These signals are not uniform and require the website to support them. The Site does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals; please use our cookie banner and browser controls to manage tracking.
We may update this notice from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice on the Site or by other means. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept the updated notice.
