Cookies Policy

Introduction

Last updated: 23 September 2026. This Cookies Policy explains how theatrexel uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. As a United Kingdom-based provider of professional media feeds, live signal management, content distribution, camera work, and high-quality broadcasting services, we are committed to complying with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). This policy provides detailed transparency about our practices so that visitors can make informed choices.

What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can store or access information such as your preferences, browsing history, and technical details about your device. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These tools allow websites to remember actions and preferences over time, enabling features like keeping you logged in or remembering your chosen settings. In the context of our broadcasting-focused platform, they help maintain reliable access to professional video operation tools and live signal management interfaces.

Why This Site Uses Cookies

We use cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, to improve performance, and to understand how users interact with our services. Without them, essential features such as navigating our course content on media feeds or accessing live signal management resources would not operate smoothly. Cookies also support analytics that help us refine content distribution tools and camera work resources, ultimately delivering higher-quality feeds for news programs and television broadcasting.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Our cookies fall into several categories. Strictly necessary cookies are required for core site functionality. Functional cookies enhance usability by remembering preferences. Analytics or performance cookies collect information about how visitors use the site. Advertising or targeting cookies may personalise content, while social-media cookies facilitate sharing. Each category serves specific purposes aligned with our operations in professional video feeds and broadcasting services.

First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by theatrexel and relate to our own domain. They handle essential tasks such as session management for users exploring our media feed courses. Third-party cookies are placed by external providers, for example analytics services that track performance across our content distribution pages. Both types are used responsibly under UK regulations, with third-party cookies only deployed where necessary for service improvement.

Session Versus Persistent Cookies

Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. They support temporary functions like maintaining a browsing session during a visit to our live signal management tools. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, which may range from a few days to two years depending on the purpose. For instance, persistent cookies may remember your language preference or previous interactions with broadcasting content for up to twelve months.

Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category

Strictly necessary cookies process minimal data such as session identifiers to enable basic navigation. Functional cookies store preference data like display settings for video operation interfaces. Analytics cookies handle aggregated usage statistics including page views and click paths to improve content distribution. Advertising cookies may process limited interest categories for relevant promotions. Social-media cookies capture sharing actions. All data is handled in line with UK GDPR principles of minimisation and purpose limitation.

Legal Basis and Consent Requirements

Under PECR and UK GDPR, strictly necessary cookies operate on the basis of legitimate interests or as strictly essential for service delivery without requiring consent. All other categories rely on your explicit consent, which can be given or withdrawn at any time. We maintain records of consent choices to demonstrate compliance. Where exemptions apply, such as for security-related cookies, we still provide clear information about their use.

Cookie Providers and Durations

The following outlines key cookies in use. Our own first-party session cookie named session_id lasts for the duration of the visit and supports navigation of media feeds. A functional preference cookie named user_pref persists for six months to remember settings for live signal tools. Third-party analytics cookies from providers such as Google Analytics have durations up to two years and collect performance data. Additional cookies for content distribution features may last thirty days. Full details are available through our consent manager interface.

How the Consent Manager Works

Our site-wide cookie banner allows you to accept, reject, or customise cookie categories before any non-essential cookies are set. You can revisit preferences at any time via a link in the footer. Changes take effect immediately, and previous consents are logged for audit purposes. Withdrawing consent stops further processing by the affected categories while preserving essential functionality.

Browser-Level Controls and Consequences

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling all cookies may prevent access to interactive elements such as our course materials on camera work or live broadcasting feeds. You can manage cookies per category or entirely, though doing so may affect site performance and personalisation features.

International Transfers

Some cookies involve data transfers outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are applied. Further details appear in our Privacy Policy, which you can access through the site navigation.
