Zero cookies

This site saves no cookies in your browser, so there is no banner to click away.

Nothing stored at all

No local storage either, and no similar technique under another name.

The one exception is your choice

Press play on a video and YouTube's player may store its own data. Don't, and it never will.

The fine print

Every detail, for anyone who wants it. Open a section to read it.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser, often to recognise you on your next visit or to follow you across sites. This site saves none, and it does not use local storage or anything similar.

When you press play

Pressing play loads YouTube's player from youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode.

YouTube says that in this mode it stores no information about visitors unless they play the video. Once a video plays, its player may store its own data in your browser.

Clearing what YouTube stored

You can delete it at any time in your browser's settings, under cookies and site data. If you never press play, it is never stored.

More about your privacy

Everything else that happens when you visit is on the Privacy page.
