What are Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of text sent to your browser by a website that you visit. It helps the website to remember information about your visit, like your preferred settings. This can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you. Cookies play an important role. Without them, using the web would be a much more frustrating experience.
How we use Cookies
This cookie policy covers the cookies used on convergecfd.com and any other Convergent Science websites, all of which are referred to collectively as the “websites”. Some cookies on the websites are essential to enable you to move around the websites. Services such as accessing secure areas of the websites and staying logged in cannot be provided without these cookies. Other cookies on these websites collect anonymous information about how visitors use our websites (for example, which pages visitors go to most often and if they encounter error messages on web pages). It is also possible that our partners will track you for ad serving behavior when you play a video on the websites. For this reason we ask for your consent before you view one of our videos.
You can also opt out of any third-party vendor's use of cookies by visiting optout.networkadvertising.org.

Advertising Cookies
YouTube
Cookies that are prefixed by: yt
We use YouTube videos in Privacy Enhanced Mode, which embeds YouTube videos without using cookies
that track viewing behavior. This means viewing inbox isn’t collected to personalize the viewing
experience. Instead, video recommendations are contextual and related to the currently played video.
Videos playing in a Privacy Enhanced Mode embedded player won’t influence the viewer's browsing
experience on YouTube.
The Privacy Enhanced Mode only relates to the tracking of viewer behavior, not ads-serving behavior.
Unfortunately, there is no way for us to show YouTube videos without tracking ads-serving behavior.
However, you may be able to control this yourself by turning off ad personalization here:
