Cookie policy

What we use today

• Local storage (localStorage): technical storage for your community session and preferences. It never leaves your device and does not require consent.
• Consent message: we use Google’s certified consent management platform (compliant with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework v2.2) to ask your permission before any advertising cookie and to store your choice.
• YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode: videos are embedded from youtube-nocookie.com, which sets no tracking cookies until you play the video.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics: our visit measurement sets no cookies and does not track you across sites.

Advertising cookies (Google AdSense)

We show advertising with Google AdSense, and advertising cookies are only set after your choice in the consent message:

• Google and its advertising partners may set cookies to serve ads, measure their performance, protect against fraud and, only if you consent, personalize ads based on your visits to this and other sites.
• If you decline, ads are served in limited mode, without personalization cookies.
• The full list of Google’s advertising partners is available inside the consent message itself.

Store and affiliate links

Buy and affiliate links take you to third-party stores. Once you leave Vicepedia, those sites may set their own cookies under their own cookie policies, which we do not control.

How to change or revoke your choice

• Reopen the consent message by clearing this site’s data in your browser settings.
• Manage ad personalization directly in Google Ads Settings.
• You can also delete or block cookies from your browser settings; the site keeps working, although your preferences will be forgotten.

Updates

If we add or remove cookies, we will update this page and its date.
