Matamo

We use Matamo to provide privacy-first, cookieless analytics.

There may still be a few essential cookies created in specific cases:

• when you exclude yourself from being tracked using the cookie method or using the opt-out method on this page, Matomo will create a cookie piwik_ignore set on the domain of your Matomo server (a temporary short-lived cookie called MATOMO_SESSID will also be created.)
• when you’re giving consent, two cookies may be created: mtm_consent and mtm_consent_removed.
• _pk_testcookie is also created without any identifier and is directly deleted (it is only used to check whether the visitor’s browser supports cookies.)

YouTube

The website uses YouTube's more privacy-friendly youtube-nocookies.com domain to embed videos on the website.

However this still utilises some local storage to function and adds cookies when a video is played. Therefore we have a separate and dedicated prompt (at the point of viewing a video) advising users of this to seek their specific consent when they first come across video content. This ensures thatan informed choice can be made.

Once set, this preference is remembered via the following cookie:

• nhlf_yt_consent

If consented, YouTube then sets the following third-party cookies on the user's browser:

• __Secure-3PAPISID
• __Secure-3PSID
• SID
• SAPISID
• APISID
• SSID
• __Secure-3PSIDCC
• HSID
• NID
