Privacy & cookies
This page explains the storage, analytics and third-party services used by the Four Takes Movie Podcast website.
Cookie choices
Four Takes uses essential browser storage to remember your privacy preference. Optional analytics are disabled until you choose to enable them.
Essential storage
We store your analytics preference in your browser using local storage under the keyfour-takes-consent-v1. This is used only to remember the choice you made.
Microsoft Clarity
If you accept analytics, Four Takes loads Microsoft Clarity. Clarity helps us understand how people use the website, including interactions, navigation patterns, heatmaps and session-level behaviour, so we can improve the experience.
We send Clarity an analytics consent signal before enabling cookie-based analytics. Advertising storage is kept denied by Four Takes.
If you reject analytics, Four Takes does not load the Clarity tracking script. You can change your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer.
YouTube trailers
YouTube trailers are treated as functional media. Four Takes does not load the YouTube iframe when the movie page first opens.
If you choose to press Play, the website connects to YouTube using the youtube-nocookie.com privacy-enhanced embed. YouTube may then store or access information on your device in order to provide the requested video.
Podcast audio
The Four Takes homepage may play an episode through the browser's native audio player using the direct audio URL supplied by our podcast feed. This is separate from Microsoft Clarity and YouTube.
External platforms
Four Takes links to services such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. If you follow one of those links, the privacy and cookie practices of that external service apply.
Movie data and availability
Movie information, imagery and streaming availability used on Four Takes is provided in part through TMDB, with streaming availability powered by JustWatch. Details of these services are also listed in the site's Data, APIs & Service Credits.
Changes to this information
We may update this page when the services used by Four Takes change. The cookie settings control will remain available in the footer so you can review or change your analytics choice.
