Cookies Policy

Introduction

Last updated: 26 October 2026. This Cookies Policy explains how notixzo uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. As a United Kingdom based provider of professional resources for studio production in motion, we are committed to transparency under the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 as amended. This policy forms part of our broader data protection framework and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage that can store or access information on your device such as browser type, operating system, IP address, and browsing patterns. These tools do not contain personal data in isolation but can be combined with other information to identify users in certain circumstances.

Why the Site Uses Cookies

We employ these technologies to ensure the website functions correctly, to improve performance for visitors interested in studio equipment setup and live production workflows, to analyse usage patterns, and to deliver relevant content where consent is given. Without them many core features such as form submissions on our Contacts page would not operate reliably.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas. Functional cookies remember preferences such as language or display settings. Analytics or performance cookies collect aggregated data on how users interact with pages about camera operation and sound design. Advertising or targeting cookies, when used, help measure campaign effectiveness. Social media cookies may be present if third party platforms are embedded, though our site does not feature active social sharing widgets.

First Party Versus Third Party Cookies

First party cookies are set directly by notixzo and relate to core site functions. Third party cookies originate from external providers such as analytics services and are subject to those providers own policies. We carefully vet any third party tools to ensure compliance with UK data protection standards.

Session Versus Persistent Cookies

Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until manually removed, allowing recognition on future visits. Typical retention periods range from a few hours for essential security tokens to twenty four months for certain analytics identifiers, always with appropriate safeguards.

Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category

Strictly necessary cookies process minimal technical data to maintain site stability. Functional cookies store user selected options to enhance usability during visits focused on lighting techniques. Analytics cookies record page views and navigation paths to refine content about television news production. No category processes sensitive personal data without explicit consent.

Consent or Exemption Basis Under UK Law

Strictly necessary cookies operate under the strict necessity exemption of PECR and do not require prior consent. All other categories rely on your affirmative consent obtained through our site wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal. This approach aligns with guidance from the Information Commissioner Office.

Cookie Providers and Durations

Our essential cookie set by notixzo itself lasts for the duration of the session only. An analytics provider cookie named _ga persists for twenty four months and records aggregated visit statistics. A functional preference cookie named pref_theme expires after twelve months. Additional identifiers from content delivery networks may last up to six months. Full details of active cookies appear in the consent management interface.

How the Consent Manager Works

Our cookie banner appears on first visit and allows granular selection of categories. You can accept all, reject non essential cookies, or customise choices. Preferences are stored for twelve months and can be revisited via the footer link at any time to reject, modify, or withdraw consent. Changes take effect immediately upon saving.

Browser Level Controls and Consequences

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling essential cookies may prevent access to contact forms and interactive elements. Blocking analytics cookies limits our ability to improve studio production resources but does not stop core functionality. We recommend reviewing browser documentation for precise instructions.

International Transfers

Some third party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs we rely on UK approved safeguards such as standard contractual clauses. Further information appears in our Privacy Policy.

Policy Changes

We review this Cookies Policy periodically and update it to reflect legal or operational developments. The date at the top indicates the latest version. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
