Vidyard
This websites uses “Vidyard” to host video content. Vidyard provides granular, user-based analytics about viewers of our video content by using in-browser technology to track content viewers (either localStorage or browser cookies).
The first time a viewer loads a Vidyard Player, we assign them a generated ID. This ID is then sent with each analytics update in order to track the individual viewers who have watched content. Browsers allow us to save this generated ID so that future viewing sessions from this viewer can be associated to the same generated ID.
Vidyard players are designed to keep track of how viewers behave, so every video hosted in a Vidyard player keeps track of everyone who visits.
Vidyard matches a viewer’s generated ID with the viewing behaviour data that the player captured. Vidyard then uses the generated ID to match viewers with any metadata that we know about them (such as email address or location).
