Cookies Policy
Last Updated
This Cookies Policy was last updated on 04 November 2026. It explains how writevaxy uses cookies and similar technologies on our website dedicated to professional live television production training and resources.
What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit our site. They store information such as preferences, login status, and browsing behaviour. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage that can access or store data on your device. These tools help us deliver a functional experience tailored to users interested in studio equipment integration, camera techniques, acoustic optimisation, lighting setups, and production processes for news, interviews, and live shows.
Why the Site Uses Cookies
We use cookies to ensure the website operates smoothly, remember your settings, analyse how visitors interact with our content on television production topics, and comply with legal requirements under UK data protection rules. Without certain cookies the site would not function correctly, while others improve usability and provide insights into audience engagement with our professional hub resources.
Categories of Cookies We Use
Our cookies fall into five main categories. Strictly necessary cookies enable core functions such as page navigation and security. Functional cookies remember preferences like display settings. Analytics or performance cookies track usage patterns to improve site content. Advertising or targeting cookies may personalise promotional material. Social-media cookies facilitate sharing features if integrated. Each category serves distinct purposes related to delivering reliable information on live television production.
First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by writevaxy and relate to our own domain. They handle essential tasks such as maintaining session continuity during visits exploring our production process guides. Third-party cookies come from external providers like analytics services and may support performance monitoring or content delivery. Both types are used transparently in accordance with PECR and UK GDPR obligations.
Session Versus Persistent Cookies and Retention
Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, such as up to 24 months for analytics purposes, allowing us to recognise returning visitors interested in ongoing updates about camera techniques and studio integration. Retention periods are kept to the minimum necessary for each purpose.
Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category
Strictly necessary cookies process basic technical data such as IP address and browser type to enable secure access. Functional cookies store user-selected preferences. Analytics cookies collect aggregated usage statistics including pages viewed and time spent on sections about acoustic optimisation. Advertising cookies may record interaction data for relevant promotions. All data processing supports our mission of providing high-quality resources on live show production without unnecessary collection.
Consent or Exemption Basis Under UK Law
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, strictly necessary cookies operate under a legitimate interest exemption. Other categories require prior consent which we obtain via our site-wide cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time. This approach ensures compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018 while supporting our commercial operations in the United Kingdom.
Cookie Provider Table
The following table summarises key cookies used on the site. Necessary cookies from writevaxy last for the session duration. Analytics cookies from Google Analytics persist for 24 months with the purpose of performance measurement. Functional cookies from our platform retain preference data for 12 months. Advertising cookies from selected partners expire after 90 days. Full details on providers and exact durations are maintained in our consent management records.
How the Consent Manager Works
Our cookie banner appears on first visit and allows you to accept, reject, or customise preferences for each category. You can revisit the banner through the footer link at any time to change or withdraw choices. Changes take effect immediately and are stored via a persistent consent cookie that respects your selections under UK regulations.
Browser-Level Controls and Consequences
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent access to core features such as contact forms or resource downloads. Blocking analytics cookies limits our ability to improve content on dynamic camera techniques and lighting setups. We recommend reviewing browser help sections for instructions specific to your device.
International Transfers
Some third-party cookies may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Where transfers occur we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses. Please refer to our separate Privacy Policy for further details on data handling practices.
