Cookie Policy

Last updated : June 18, 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how OurFrame SA ("OurFrame", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the WaterBear website and streaming platform (the "Service").

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site operators.

Similar technologies include pixel tags, web beacons, and local storage, which serve comparable purposes.

3. How We Use Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies and, only with your consent, analytics cookies:

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Service to function properly. They enable core features such as account authentication, session management, and security. They cannot be disabled without affecting the functionality of the Service.

Cookie Provider Purpose Duration wb_session WaterBear Authentication session token (httpOnly JWT) ~7 days _session Vimeo OTT Maintains your viewing session on the video platform Session wb_csrf WaterBear Protects against cross-site request forgery Session

Legal basis: These cookies are necessary for the performance of the service you have requested (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). No consent is required.

3.2 Analytics cookies

These cookies are not essential. They are set only after you click Accept in our cookie banner, and they help us measure how WaterBear is used through Google Analytics. They collect anonymous, aggregated statistics about visits. They are not loaded if you decline, and you can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting these cookies in your browser. Until you give consent, Google Analytics is loaded in a restricted mode (Consent Mode v2) that sets no cookies and measures nothing.

Cookie Provider Purpose Duration _ga Google LLC (Google Analytics) Distinguishes anonymous visitors for audience measurement ~2 years _gid Google LLC (Google Analytics) Distinguishes anonymous visitors for audience measurement ~24 hours _gat Google LLC (Google Analytics) Throttles the request rate for audience measurement ~1 minute

Legal basis: These analytics cookies are placed only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), collected through Google Consent Mode v2. They are third-party, non-essential cookies and you may refuse them.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these cookies. The main third parties that may place cookies through our Service are:

  • Vimeo, Inc. for video playback and streaming. Vimeo may set cookies to deliver video content and measure playback performance. Vimeo's cookie policy: https://vimeo.com/cookie_policy

We do not use advertising cookies or allow third-party advertising networks to place cookies on our Service.

5. Your Choices

Besides strictly necessary cookies (always on), we also use analytics cookies that are not essential. Because these are non-essential, we ask for your consent through a cookie banner before setting them: they are set only if you click Accept, and they are not set if you click Decline. You can change your choice at any time, and you can still control or delete cookies through your browser settings, as described below.

To withdraw your consent to analytics cookies after you have given it, delete the WaterBear cookies stored by your browser; the consent banner will then appear again on your next visit so you can choose again. You can manage or delete these cookies through your browser settings as described below.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • view what cookies are stored and delete them individually

  • block third-party cookies

  • block cookies from specific sites

  • block all cookies

  • delete all cookies when you close your browser

Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of the Service and your user experience.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. We currently do not respond to DNT signals, as there is no industry-standard interpretation of this signal. However, you can manage your cookie preferences as described in Section 5.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
