Cookies Policy
Last updated: 13 October 2026
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 record details such as your browser type, device identifiers, IP address, pages visited and interactions with video content or course materials. In the context of our specialised courses on live production decks and control rooms, cookies help maintain continuity during sessions that involve multi-camera switching demonstrations or real-time video operation tutorials.
Why We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies
We employ these technologies to operate our commercial website effectively. They enable core functions such as navigating course catalogues, accessing protected training modules on live broadcasting techniques and completing enrolment forms. Without them, features like remembering your progress through professional management of television and streaming productions modules would not function. We also use them to understand how visitors interact with content so we can refine our offerings in real-time video operation and multi-camera switching.
Categories of Cookies We Deploy
Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to work and cannot be switched off. Functional cookies remember choices such as language or video player settings for control-room simulations. Analytics or performance cookies collect aggregated information about how users move through pages describing live broadcasting techniques. Advertising or targeting cookies may be used by third parties to show relevant course promotions. Social-media cookies can appear if you choose to share course information, although our site itself does not host active social plugins.
First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by vibeflixpo and relate only to our domain. They handle tasks such as keeping you logged in while you explore real-time video operation lessons. Third-party cookies come from external providers that supply analytics, video hosting or payment processing services. These may be active when you view embedded demonstrations of professional management of television and streaming productions. We list the main third parties in the table section below so you can see exactly which organisations receive information.
Session Versus Persistent Cookies and Retention Periods
Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. They are used for temporary tasks such as maintaining a shopping basket during course enrolment. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, ranging from a few days to two years depending on their purpose. For example, an analytics cookie might last thirteen months to allow year-on-year comparison of interest in live production decks training. We review retention regularly and delete data once it is no longer needed for the stated purpose.
Data Handled and Specific Purposes for Each Category
Strictly necessary cookies process minimal identifiers needed to deliver pages and secure forms. Functional cookies store preferences such as subtitle settings for streaming-production videos. Analytics cookies record page views, time spent on modules about multi-camera switching and device type. No personal names or contact details are attached to analytics identifiers. Advertising cookies may capture browsing history across sites to tailor course advertisements. All processing is limited to what is necessary for the legitimate operation of a commercial training platform focused on control-room skills.
Legal Basis and Consent Requirements Under UK Law
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations together with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent because they are essential for the service you requested. All other categories require your prior consent. We obtain this through a site-wide cookie banner that appears on first visit. You can refuse non-essential cookies without affecting access to basic site navigation. Consent records are stored securely and you may withdraw permission at any time through the consent manager.
Cookie Providers, Categories and Durations
The following providers operate cookies on our site. Strictly necessary: session identifier lasting until browser close, set by vibeflixpo. Functional: preference token lasting one year, set by vibeflixpo. Analytics: measurement identifier lasting thirteen months, set by a leading analytics provider. Performance: video-progress token lasting thirty days, set by our video-hosting partner. No advertising cookies are currently active, but any future addition will be listed here with its provider, category and expiry.
How the Consent Manager Works and How to Change Choices
Our consent manager presents clear toggles for each non-essential category. You can accept all, reject all or select individual categories before continuing. Your choices are saved and can be revisited via a link in the site footer. Withdrawing consent immediately stops further collection by the affected cookies and deletes those already placed where technically feasible. The manager complies with UK requirements for granular, informed and freely given consent.
Browser-Level Controls and Consequences of Disabling Cookies
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Blocking all cookies will prevent the site from remembering your course progress or login status, making enrolment and module access more difficult. Disabling analytics cookies limits our ability to improve content on live broadcasting techniques but does not stop the site from functioning. We recommend reviewing your browser help pages for instructions specific to your device.
International Transfers of Information
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by the UK authorities. Further details about these transfers appear in our separate Privacy Policy, which you can request via the contact form on our Contacts page.
