Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy was last updated on 23 September 2026.
What cookies and similar technologies are and what information they can store or access
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons and local storage. These tools can store or access information such as device identifiers, browser type, IP address, pages visited, time spent on site and interaction data. In the United Kingdom they are regulated by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations together with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
Why the site uses them
mediaverko uses cookies to operate the service reliably, remember user settings, measure performance and deliver relevant content. Without them the platform for professional video operation, live signal management and content distribution would not function correctly. Analytics help improve camera work tools and feed quality for news and broadcasting clients.
Strictly necessary, functional, analytics, advertising and social-media categories
Strictly necessary cookies enable core functions such as secure login and signal routing. Functional cookies remember preferences like language or dashboard layout. Analytics cookies track usage patterns to optimise live feeds. Advertising cookies may personalise promotions for media services. Social-media cookies allow sharing of broadcast highlights but are not active unless you interact with sharing features.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by mediaverko and relate only to our domains. Third-party cookies come from service providers such as analytics or content delivery networks that support video distribution. Both types are used to maintain high-quality feeds for television broadcasting.
Session versus persistent cookies and meaningful retention or expiry information
Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser and are used for temporary tasks like managing live streams. Persistent cookies remain for a set period, typically between 30 days and 24 months depending on purpose. For example, analytics cookies may expire after 13 months while preference cookies can last up to two years.
The data handled and purpose of each used category
Necessary cookies handle authentication tokens and session identifiers to keep feeds stable. Functional cookies store layout choices and volume settings. Analytics cookies collect aggregated statistics on page views and video load times. No personal contact details are stored in analytics cookies. All data supports reliable content distribution and camera operation services.
The consent or exemption basis for each category under UK law
Strictly necessary cookies operate under the strict necessity exemption and do not require consent. Functional, analytics and advertising cookies rely on consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. Consent is recorded and can be withdrawn at any time. PECR requires clear information and an easy opt-out mechanism which is provided.
How the consent manager works and how users can reject, change or withdraw choices
The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows selection of categories. You can revisit the banner via the footer link at any time to adjust preferences. Withdrawing consent stops non-essential cookies from being set in future visits. Previous choices are stored for 12 months before the banner reappears.
Browser-level controls and the functional consequences of disabling cookies
Most browsers allow blocking or deleting cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies will prevent login and live signal management. Blocking analytics may limit our ability to improve feed quality. Full details of browser controls are available in your browser help section.
International transfers and a plain-text cross-reference to the Privacy Policy
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the UK. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are used. For full details on data handling please refer to the Privacy Policy available on this site.
