Cookies Policy
Last updated: 10 October 2026
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our website. They allow the site to recognise your device and store information about your preferences or past actions. Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons and local storage. These tools can store or access data such as IP addresses, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited and time spent on those pages. On a professional resource like editionvixi they help maintain reliable access to information about studio equipment setup, camera operation, lighting techniques and broadcast workflows.
Why the site uses them
We use cookies and similar technologies to make the website function correctly, remember user choices, measure performance and, where appropriate, deliver relevant content. Without these tools many core features would not work and we could not provide the smooth experience expected by professionals working in television news and live production environments.
Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies enable basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas. Functional cookies remember preferences such as language or display settings. Analytics or performance cookies collect information about how visitors use the site so we can improve content on studio production topics. Advertising or targeting cookies may be used to limit the frequency of promotional messages. Social-media cookies allow sharing of pages on external platforms when those features are present.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by editionvixi itself and relate directly to the operation of our domain. Third-party cookies are set by external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks. Both types may be present on our pages to support essential functions and performance measurement.
Session versus persistent cookies
Session cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. Retention periods vary: strictly necessary session cookies typically expire at the end of your visit while some analytics cookies may persist for up to twenty-four months to allow comparison of usage trends over time.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Strictly necessary cookies process minimal data required for site security and navigation. Functional cookies store preference data such as video player settings. Analytics cookies record aggregated usage statistics including page views and referral sources. Advertising cookies may track interaction with promotional banners. Each category serves a distinct operational or improvement purpose aligned with delivering reliable professional resources on motion production.
Consent or exemption basis under UK law
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and the UK GDPR we rely on strict necessity for essential cookies that enable the service you requested. For all other categories we obtain consent through the site-wide cookie banner before setting non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.
Cookie or provider table
The following table summarises the main cookies and similar technologies currently in use. Provider names, exact durations and purposes are listed for transparency. Strictly necessary: site session identifier, provider editionvixi, duration session, purpose authentication. Analytics: usage measurement identifier, provider third-party analytics service, duration twenty-four months, purpose performance statistics. Functional: preference storage, provider editionvixi, duration twelve months, purpose user settings. No advertising cookies are set unless you have given explicit consent through the banner.
How the consent manager works
The cookie banner displayed on first visit and after policy changes allows you to accept all, reject non-essential or manage preferences by category. Changes take effect immediately and are stored in a consent cookie that records your choices. You can reopen the manager at any time via a link in the footer to review or alter selections.
Browser-level controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling all cookies will prevent strictly necessary functions from operating and may result in parts of the site becoming inaccessible. Blocking analytics cookies will stop us from receiving aggregated usage data but will not affect core navigation.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. Further details appear in our Privacy Policy which can be accessed from the site footer.
Policy changes and contact
We review this Cookies Policy periodically and will update the last-updated date when material changes occur. If you have questions about our use of cookies please contact us using the details on the Contacts page or by writing to 18-19 Lettice Street, London SW1V 3AA, United Kingdom, telephoning 020 3633 5937 or emailing [email protected]. Your feedback helps us maintain clear and compliant practices for all visitors.
