• if you have already replied to a survey pop-up that asks you if the content was helpful or not (so you won't be asked again)
• also, some videos embedded in our pages use a cookie to anonymously gather statistics on how you got there and what videos you visited.

The cookie-related information is not used to identify you personally and the pattern data is fully under our control. These cookies are not used for any purpose other than those described here.
