Cookies that YouTube or other embedded media use

The cookies used may be telling the system which YouTube player to use for your device – ie. the old interface or the new interface. Another cookie may register a “count” to the plays of the video back on YouTube.
If we have the option to turn off or minimise use of cookies for our embedded media, without doubt, we will. We strive to use as little cookies as possible in our user experience, but some options available to us, like embedding YouTube videos, may be unavoidable if we wish to use such useful features on our site.
