Cookies Policy

What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

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 web beacons, pixels and local storage that can store or access information on your device. These tools can hold data such as unique identifiers, browsing history within the site, device type, operating system and approximate location derived from IP address.

Why This Site Uses Cookies and Similar Technologies

premirezo operates a commercial website providing professional resources on studio production, camera operation, lighting, sound and live broadcast workflows. Cookies and similar technologies support essential functions, improve performance, gather aggregated usage statistics and enable limited personalisation where consent is given. Without them many core features would not function correctly.

Categories of Cookies Used

We classify cookies into five categories: strictly necessary, functional, analytics or performance, advertising or targeting, and social media. Each category serves a distinct purpose and is governed by separate legal rules under UK law.

First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by premirezo and can only be read by our domain. Third-party cookies are set by external providers such as analytics platforms or content delivery networks that we engage to deliver services. Both types appear on our site but third-party cookies are subject to the privacy policies of their respective providers.

Session Versus Persistent Cookies and Retention Periods

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 or until manually removed. Retention periods vary by purpose and are listed in the table below. No cookie we use is retained longer than two years without renewal through a new visit or explicit consent.

Data Handled and Purposes of Each Category

Strictly necessary cookies store session identifiers and security tokens to enable navigation and form submission. Functional cookies remember preferences such as video player settings or language choice. Analytics cookies collect aggregated information about page views and navigation paths to help us improve content relevance. Advertising cookies may record interests inferred from site interactions to limit repeated promotional messages. Social media cookies facilitate sharing of pages on external platforms when you choose to use those features.

Legal Basis and Exemptions Under UK Law

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR, strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent requirements because they are essential for the service you requested. All other categories rely on your prior consent, which can be withdrawn at any time. We maintain records of consent choices in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018.

Cookie and Provider Table

The following table summarises the cookies currently deployed. This list is reviewed regularly and may change as providers update their services.

How the Consent Manager Works

A site-wide cookie banner appears on first visit. You may accept all categories, reject non-essential categories or access detailed settings to choose individually. Choices are stored for 12 months and can be revised at any time by revisiting the banner or contacting us. Withdrawing consent immediately stops further placement of rejected cookies, although previously set cookies may remain until their natural expiry or manual deletion.

Browser-Level Controls and Consequences of Disabling Cookies

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent core functions such as form submission and video playback from working. Blocking analytics cookies will not affect site usability but will reduce the data we receive about how content is used. Instructions for common browsers are available on their official support pages.

International Transfers

Some third-party providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where transfers occur we rely on UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office. Full details of safeguards appear in our separate Privacy Policy.
