How do we use cookies?
We use cookies for three different purposes, as listed below.
Functional cookies
These cookies are required to give you a good browser experience. The following functional cookies are placed by inhousefilming.com or app.inhousefilming.com:
- csrftoken this is a security measure used for our contact and application forms. It's a Cross Site Request Forgery prevention technique, for more information, see this Wikipedia article. This cookie does not track any personal information.

- browserupdateorg this cookie is only placed if you have an outdated browser, to save your preference when dismissing the notification. This cookie does not track any personal information.
Analytical cookies
These cookies are required to give us insight into how our site is used. We use Google Analytics for analytics. We have anonymised the way Google Analytics tracks the use of the website, so your personal details such as your IP address are not collected. The following cookies are placed by Google Analytics:
- _ga used to distinguish visitors.
- _gid used to distinguish visitors.
- _dc_gtm_TWKRHST used to throttle request rate.
Third-party cookies
These cookies are placed by third parties (in our case YouTube) and can be used as functional, analytical and tracking cookies by this third party. Tracking cookies can be used to track your visit across multiple domains. You can choose to reject these cookies by choosing only minimal cookies. Please be aware that the YouTube player will not work in that case, but you can still view the video on YouTube itself. On our platform a player is used that does not contain tracking cookies.
Other third-party extensions
We also use the following third-party extensions that do not track any personal information but are only used to enhance your experience:
- https://fonts.googleapis.com PlayFair Google Webfont files.
- https://hello.myfonts.com empty file used by myfonts to keep track of pageviews for our Galano Grotesque Webfont.
- https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js script to load Google Tag Manager (GTM). GTM does not track anything on its own but is used to load our Google Analytics script.
- https://browser-update.org/update.min.js script to check of your browser is supported. Does not track anything, only places a cookie for outdated browsers after clicking a button in the notification.
