Cookies Policy

Last updated: 19 September 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how celebnewsza uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. We are based in the United Kingdom and offer specialised courses in live production decks, control rooms, multi-camera switching, live broadcasting techniques, real-time video operation and professional management of television and streaming productions. The policy complies 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 information such as your preferences, login details or browsing behaviour. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that can access or store data on your device. These tools help websites function properly, remember user choices and gather analytics data without identifying individuals directly in most cases.

Why the Site Uses Cookies

We use cookies to ensure the website operates securely and efficiently, to remember your course preferences and to understand how visitors interact with our training content on live production and broadcasting. This supports our commercial activities by improving user experience and measuring the effectiveness of our course offerings without unnecessary data collection.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies enable core functions such as navigation and access to secure areas like course enrolment forms. Functional cookies remember settings such as language or video player preferences for control-room simulations. Analytics or performance cookies collect aggregated information on page visits to refine our training materials. Advertising or targeting cookies may personalise promotional messages about upcoming live-production courses. Social-media cookies facilitate sharing of course-related content where applicable.

First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by celebnewsza to manage your session on our site. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services or video-hosting platforms that support our demonstrations of real-time video operation techniques. Both types are used only for the purposes stated in this policy.

Session Versus Persistent Cookies and Retention

Session cookies expire when you close your browser and are used for temporary tasks such as maintaining login during a course enquiry. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, typically between 30 days and 24 months depending on the provider, to retain preferences for future visits to our broadcasting-technique resources.

Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category

Necessary cookies handle minimal data such as session identifiers to allow course registration. Functional cookies store choices like preferred video formats for multi-camera examples. Analytics cookies process anonymised usage statistics to improve content on streaming-production management. No category collects sensitive personal data without explicit consent where required.

Legal Basis for Each Category Under UK Law

Strictly necessary cookies operate under the PECR exemption for essential website functions. Functional, analytics and advertising cookies rely on your 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.

Cookie Provider Table

Our cookie table lists providers, categories, purposes and durations. For example, our own first-party session cookie lasts for the browser session to support enrolment. Analytics providers use persistent cookies for up to 13 months to track aggregated course-interest trends. Full details are available upon request via the contact form on our Contacts page.

How the Consent Manager Works

The cookie banner allows you to accept all, reject non-essential or customise preferences by category. Changes take effect immediately and are stored for future visits. You can revisit the banner via a link in the footer to alter or withdraw choices at any time.

Browser-Level Controls and Consequences

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent access to course-enrolment features. Blocking analytics cookies limits our ability to improve content on live broadcasting but does not stop core site operation.

International Transfers

Some third-party cookies may transfer data outside the UK. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place. Please refer to our separate Privacy Policy for further details on data transfers.
