A sign-in cookie, and small preference cookies if you choose a look or fold the sidebar. There are no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.

A banner asks permission for optional cookies. The only optional ones we have are the two preference cookies below, and each is set only when you press its own control yourself (the look choice in Settings, or the button that folds the sidebar), so pressing it is the asking. If we ever add anything else, for example analytics, we will ask first and update this page before anything is set.
When you log in, we set cookies on this site whose names begin with sb-. They hold your sign-in session so you stay signed in as you move between pages. They are needed for the site to work when you are logged in, are not used for tracking, and are removed when you log out.
If you choose a look for the site (Classic or Sunset) in Settings, we also set one small cookie called vice305-look that remembers your choice for a year, so the page is drawn the way you left it. It holds one word and nothing about you, and we set it only when you choose.
If you fold or open the sidebar, we set one more small cookie called vice305-sidebar, which remembers that for a year in the same way. It holds the word “open” or “collapsed” and nothing about you, and we set it only when you press the fold button. If you never log in, never choose a look and never fold the sidebar, we set no cookies at all.
The search box offers your last few searches (up to six) so you can run one again. Your browser keeps them in its local storage, under the name vice305-recent-searches. They stay on your device and are never sent to us. You can remove a line with the cross beside it, or all of them with “Clear all”, and clearing your browser’s site data removes them too.
Clips are links to videos on other sites. A provider’s player (YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, Streamable, Twitch or Medal) loads only after you choose to play it. At that point the provider receives your IP address and may set its own cookies, which are covered by its own policy. YouTube videos use its privacy-enhanced domain.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Pages will still be readable, but you will not be able to log in. More about what we do with your information is in the privacy policy. Questions: onvicecity305@gmail.com.
