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.
Who sets them: First-party cookies are set by Vimeo OTT. Third-party cookies are set by companies other than Vimeo OTT, such as analytics providers and advertisers.
