Why there is no banner

Maltese law implementing Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive requires your consent before a site stores information on your device or reads information already there, unless it is strictly necessary to deliver what you asked for. This site does neither. It writes no cookie, no local storage entry and no session storage entry, so there is nothing to consent to and asking would be theatre.

A banner that appears on a site setting no cookies is a habit, not a legal requirement. We would rather not train people to click through a consent dialogue that means nothing.

Check it yourself

Open your browser’s developer tools on any page here, look under Application or Storage, and you will find the cookie jar for this domain empty. The network panel will show every request going to streamhouse.media and nowhere else — the fonts are served from our own server rather than a font CDN, for exactly this reason.

The one exception, and it is yours to trigger

The Productions page carries a trailer. It does not load until you press play. If you do, a YouTube player loads from Google, Google receives your IP address, and Google may set its own cookies on your device under its terms. We use the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com player, which reduces what is set, but it is still Google’s player and still Google’s cookies.

Nothing else on the site depends on the trailer. If you never press play, no third party is ever contacted.

Clearing what the player leaves

Cookies set by the YouTube player belong to Google’s domains, not ours, so we cannot remove them for you. Your browser’s settings will clear them, and Google’s owncookie pageexplains what it sets.
