Cookie Policy
Last updated 17 September 2026
The short version: Exemplary Films sets just two cookies, and both are essential to the site working. We use no advertising cookies and no third-party tracking cookies.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. “First-party” cookies are set by this site; “third-party” cookies are set by other companies. We use only first-party, essential cookies.
Cookies we use
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID |
Essential | Maintains your browsing session so the site works correctly. Contains no personal information. | Session (cleared when you close your browser) |
cookie_consent |
Essential | Remembers your cookie choice so we don't ask again. | 1 year |
The “Analytics” category
Our cookie banner offers an Analytics toggle. Today it controls nothing — Exemplary Films runs no analytics. We've built the opt-in gate ahead of time so that if we ever add privacy-respecting, first-party analytics to improve the rankings, it will be off by default and load only if you turn it on. It would be first-party and never sold.
Third-party content (no cookies, but worth knowing)
Some content your browser loads comes from other companies, which can see your IP address even though they don't set cookies here: Google Fonts (the site's typefaces) and film poster images (loaded from external image hosts). More detail is in our Privacy Policy.
Managing cookies
You can change your choice any time via Cookie preferences in the footer. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings — but note that blocking the essential cookies above may stop parts of the site from working.
