What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
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 browser type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent on pages and referral sources. In the United Kingdom they fall under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations together with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
Why Does prestivoq Use Cookies?
prestivoq operates a commercial website providing professional resources on studio production in motion. Cookies help deliver core functions, remember user choices, measure performance and support secure access to materials about studio equipment setup, dynamic camera operation, lighting and sound waves plus high-quality workflows for television news and live shows. Without them many interactive features would not work reliably.
Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify cookies into strictly necessary, functional, analytics or performance, advertising or targeting and social-media categories. Strictly necessary cookies enable basic site operation. Functional cookies remember preferences such as language or display settings. Analytics cookies gather aggregated statistics on usage. Advertising cookies may track browsing to deliver relevant promotions. Social-media cookies allow sharing or integration with external platforms.
First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by prestivoq and relate only to our domain. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks. Both types may be present on our pages to support the professional resources we offer.
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 set period or until manually removed. Retention varies by purpose: necessary cookies may last a few hours, functional cookies up to one year, analytics cookies up to two years and advertising cookies up to thirteen months depending on the provider.
Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category
Strictly necessary cookies handle session identifiers and security tokens to keep the site stable. Functional cookies store layout preferences and form data to improve usability for visitors studying studio workflows. Analytics cookies collect IP addresses in anonymised form, page views and device information to refine content on camera operation and lighting techniques. Advertising cookies may record viewed pages to limit repeated promotions. Social-media cookies capture sharing actions when users interact with external buttons.
Consent or Exemption Basis Under UK Law
Strictly necessary cookies operate under the strict necessity exemption of PECR and do not require prior consent. All other categories rely on consent obtained through our site-wide cookie banner. Consent is recorded and can be withdrawn at any time in line with UK GDPR requirements for transparency and user control.
Cookie Providers and Durations
The following providers may set cookies on our site. Necessary cookies from our own servers last for the session. Analytics tools from recognised providers retain data for up to twenty-four months. Functional preferences stored locally expire after twelve months. Advertising identifiers from third-party networks persist for up to thirteen months unless cleared earlier by the user.
How the Consent Manager Works and Changing Choices
Our cookie banner appears on first visit and allows selection of categories. You can reopen the banner from the footer or Contacts page to review or alter selections. Withdrawing consent stops further collection under non-essential categories while previously stored data continues to be handled according to our Privacy Policy.
Browser-Level Controls and Consequences of Disabling Cookies
Most browsers allow blocking or deleting cookies through settings menus. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent login, form submission and access to protected studio production resources. Disabling analytics cookies reduces our ability to improve content quality but does not affect core functionality.
International Transfers
Some third-party providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are used where required. Full details appear in the Privacy Policy accessible via the Contacts page.
