I work at a software company that offers virtual sessions streams.

We're integrated lightly with vimeo where we can embed your video player so our customers can host their videos within our product.

I have a few cookie/privacy questions:

1. Does your embedded player generate any cookies at all?

2. If so, does it generate any non-essential cookies that would fall under categories such as usage, marketing, tracking, etc?

 

We are evaluating how we have to handle our privacy/cookie banners that our customers interact with and need to understand any implications to 3rd party code such as the vimeo player.

Additional followup question would also be… if it does generate non-essential cookies, do we have any ability to disable that when launching the player?

Hello, Neil,

Thanks for bring this to our attention. 

No, the Brightcove Player does not use any cookies. For more details and reference, let me share our documentation regarding this, you will find more details there:
