Cookies on KidsTube

What is always there

• Your language (kt.lang) — so the site stays Dutch or English, whichever you set it to.
• This choice itself (kt.consent) — so we only ask once. It gets written down whichever way you answer, a no included.
• Your sign-in session — only if you have an account and are logged in. Without that cookie you cannot stay signed in, so favorites and your own list do not work without it.
• In the browser itself — not cookies but local storage: your last few searches, and whether the home-screen tip has had its turn. Neither leaves your device.

Only if you say yes

Google Analytics. Which pages get opened, where visitors arrive from, on what kind of device and from which country. Never who you are. Google Signals and ads personalization are both off — the same treatment the ad slots on the site already had, because KidsTube is a site for children: nothing is tied together across devices and there is no audience for advertising. Say no and Google's code is not loaded at all; there is then nothing that could store anything.

Advertising. It is switched off entirely at the moment — no ad code is loaded. If it comes back, it comes back on the same condition: only after a yes, and never personalized.

Videos

Videos play through youtube-nocookie.com, YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode. While nothing is playing, YouTube puts nothing down. Start a video and YouTube does need storage to play it — that is part of playing it, and separate from the choice above.

Clearing it yourself

Your browser can always clear cookies and local storage itself, under its privacy settings. Do that and we ask the question above again. What an account keeps for you — your favorites, your own list, what was watched last — is a different thing from cookies; that is on How it works.
