+Vimeo, Inc. ("**Vimeo**", "**we**", or "**us**") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on Vimeo.com (and related sites), Vimeo-branded applications for connected devices ("**apps**"), and the Vimeo embeddable video player. By using our websites, apps, or video player, you consent to the placement and use of cookies and similar technologies on your device. This Cookie Policy forms part of the [Vimeo Privacy Policy](https://vimeo.com/privacy).
+This Cookie Policy is part of our [Privacy Policy](https://vimeo.com/privacy) and explains:
+## Cookie Basics
+- What cookies are
+- What cookies are used when you use the Vimeo Service
+- How third parties use cookies on the Vimeo Service
+- Your cookie options
+- Further cookie resources
+A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your web browser that allows Vimeo or a third party to recognize you using a unique identifier.
+## 1\. What is a cookie?
+**Who sets them**: First-party cookies are set by Vimeo. Third-party cookies are set by companies other than Vimeo, such as analytics providers and advertisers.
+A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your web browser that allows Vimeo or a third party to recognize you. Cookies might be used for the following purposes: (1) to enable certain functions; (2) to provide analytics; (3) to store your preferences; and (4) to enable ad delivery and behavioral advertising.
+**What they do**: "Essential" cookies enable services we offer. "Non-essential" cookies help us understand how our services are being used (i.e., analytics) and deliver advertisements. Some cookies may track you across multiple websites you visit (including ones not operated by us) to help deliver advertisements that may be relevant to you.
+Cookies can either be session cookies or persistent cookies. A session cookie expires automatically when you close your browser. A persistent cookie will remain until it expires or you delete your cookies. Expiration dates are set in the cookies themselves; some may expire after a few minutes while others may expire after multiple years. Cookies placed by the website you're visiting are sometimes called "first party cookies," while cookies placed by other companies are sometimes called "third party cookies."
+**How long they last**: Cookies may be either "session" or "persistent." A session cookie expires (i.e., is deleted) when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains until it expires or you delete the cookies via your browser settings. Expiration dates are set in the cookies themselves and may vary in length, depending on the purpose of the cookie.
+## 2\. What cookies are used when I use the Vimeo Service?
+## Cookies Found on Vimeo Service
+When you use the Vimeo Service or visit a webpage with a Vimeo video, Vimeo or a third party may place a number of cookies in your browser. Some of the cookies will only be used if you use certain features or select certain preferences, and some cookies will always be used. You can find out more about each cookie by viewing our current [cookie list](https://vimeo.com/cookie_list). We update this list quarterly, so there may be additional cookies that aren't yet listed.
+**Vimeo websites**: When you visit a Vimeo website, Vimeo and third parties will set cookies in your browser. Vimeo sets essential cookies to enable certain features and remember your preferences. For example, cookies keep you logged in, allow you to purchase items, and maintain your language and volume settings. Third parties set cookies for both essential and non-essential purposes including analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) and advertising (e.g., Google DoubleClick for Publishers).
+Each cookie serves one of four different purposes:
+**Vimeo video player**: Vimeo's embeddable video player uses first-party cookies that we consider essential to the video player experience. We do not use third-party analytics or advertising cookies when our video player appears on a third-party website. Please note that a third-party website may place cookies of its own. We have no control over third-party websites or the cookies they set.
