Things we store without asking, because the site needs them
- Your cookie choice. We remember whether you accepted or rejected analytics, kept in your browser's local storage under the name
kudos-consent, not in a cookie, and never sent to us. - Staff only: a "do not count my visits" setting (
kudos-notrack, in local storage), set only from a special staff link so our own visits are left out of the figures, and a sign in cookie for our admin area. Visitors never receive either.
Counting visits without cookies
Vercel Web Analytics and our own visit counter record which pages are viewed, the site that sent you, your type of device, pages that could not be found, and when someone taps our WhatsApp, phone or email links. Neither sets a cookie or stores anything on your device. Our own counter keeps these records in our database so we can see which pages lead to enquiries.
Analytics cookies, only if you accept
If you choose Accept, we load Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. They show us which pages, DJs and venues people look at and where a page is hard to use.
| Service | Cookies | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | _ga, _ga_ followed by an ID | Up to 2 years |
| Microsoft Clarity | _clck, _clsk, and MUID on Microsoft's own domains | Up to 1 year (_clsk 1 day) |
Before you choose, neither Google Analytics nor Microsoft Clarity is loaded at all, so nothing is sent to them and nothing is stored on your device. If you change from Accept to Reject, we remove the analytics cookies this site set; cookies Microsoft set on its own domains can only be cleared in your browser. See Google's privacy policy and Microsoft's privacy statement.
Films and the home page video
Films on DJ, portfolio and destination wedding pages are played through Vimeo or YouTube. The player only loads when you press play, so nothing from those services reaches your device until then. YouTube films use YouTube's privacy enhanced mode, and Vimeo films are set to "do not track". Instagram reels are links that open on Instagram, so nothing from Instagram loads on this site.
The background video at the top of the home page is played by Vimeo with "do not track" on, and it loads with the page. Vimeo does not use it to track you, but its security service (Cloudflare) sets cookies to protect Vimeo's servers from bots: __cf_bm for 30 minutes, __cf_ob for the session and cf_clearance for up to a year. Pressing play on a Vimeo film sets the same cookies.
See Vimeo's cookie policy and YouTube's privacy policy.
What we do not use
No advertising cookies and no social media tracking pixels from us. If we ever add anything of that kind we will ask you first and update this page.
Changing your mind
Use the Cookie settings link at the foot of any page to accept or reject analytics at any time. You can also clear cookies and local storage in your browser settings, after which we will ask again.
