Cookies Policy

Last updated: 22 September 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how celeborix uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. The site operates from the United Kingdom and provides guidance on culture and entertainment reporting, including studio segments, event interviews, camera setup, lighting, and responsible media workflows. We comply with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

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 device details. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage that perform comparable functions. These tools allow websites to recognise returning visitors and remember actions taken during a session.

Why the Site Uses Cookies

We use cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, improve performance, understand user behaviour, and deliver relevant content. Without certain cookies the site would not operate as intended, while others help us refine our guidance materials on media production topics.

Cookie Categories We Employ

Strictly necessary cookies enable core functions such as page navigation and form submission. Functional cookies remember your choices like language settings. Analytics or performance cookies collect aggregated data on how visitors interact with pages about camera setup and lighting. Advertising or targeting cookies may personalise promotional material. Social-media cookies facilitate sharing of our reporting guides.

First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by celeborix and relate to our own domain. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks. Both types may be used to support our educational resources on responsible media workflows.

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, which can range from a few days to two years depending on the purpose, such as remembering login preferences or tracking long-term usage patterns of our entertainment reporting materials.

Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category

Strictly necessary cookies handle technical identifiers to keep the site secure and operational. Functional cookies store user-selected options to enhance convenience. Analytics cookies process IP addresses and page views in aggregated form to measure engagement with segments on event interviews. Advertising cookies may track interests to show tailored offers. Each category serves a distinct operational or improvement goal aligned with our media guidance focus.

Consent or Exemption Basis Under UK Law

Strictly necessary cookies operate under the PECR exemption for essential functionality and do not require prior consent. All other categories rely on your explicit consent obtained through our site-wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing already carried out.

How the Consent Manager Works

Our cookie banner appears on first visit and allows you to accept all, reject non-essential, or customise choices by category. Changes can be made at any time via the footer link. Withdrawing consent immediately stops further collection by those cookies while existing data may remain until its retention period expires.

Browser-Level Controls

Most browsers permit you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent core features such as contact form submission from working. Analytics and advertising cookies can usually be restricted without breaking basic navigation, though some personalised elements of our media workflow content may no longer function.

International Transfers

Some third-party cookies may transfer data outside the UK. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. For further details please refer to our separate Privacy Policy.
