Cookies Policy
This Cookies Policy was last updated on 30 October 2026.
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can store or access information such as your preferences, browsing behaviour and device details. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that perform comparable functions. On this professional hub for live television production these tools help deliver studio equipment integration guidance, dynamic camera techniques resources and acoustic optimisation materials without unnecessary repetition of core site functions.
Why the site uses them
inquiriko uses cookies to ensure the website operates reliably for visitors exploring lighting setups, reliable production processes for news programmes, interviews and live shows. They support essential navigation, remember user choices where appropriate and help maintain security across sessions focused on television production topics.
Strictly necessary, functional, analytics, advertising and social media categories
Strictly necessary cookies enable core features such as page loading and form submission on the contact page. Functional cookies remember preferences like language or display settings for production workflow content. Analytics cookies measure how users interact with sections on studio equipment integration and camera techniques. Advertising cookies may personalise content related to production courses though the site does not run extensive targeted campaigns. Social media cookies could appear if embedded sharing tools are used but remain limited given the professional focus.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by inquiriko and relate to site navigation and essential production hub features. Third-party cookies originate from external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks that support reliable delivery of technical resources on acoustic optimisation and lighting setups.
Session versus persistent cookies and retention
Session cookies expire when you close the browser and handle temporary tasks like maintaining your place within production process guides. Persistent cookies remain for longer periods, typically up to 24 months for analytics purposes, allowing measurement of repeat visits to resources on dynamic camera techniques and live show workflows.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies handle basic identifiers to keep the site functional. Functional cookies store preference data to improve usability of interview and news programme content. Analytics cookies collect aggregated usage statistics to refine pages about studio equipment integration. No personal data beyond what is strictly required is processed without consent where applicable under UK rules.
Consent or exemption basis under UK law
Strictly necessary cookies operate under the legitimate interests basis and do not require consent per PECR and UK GDPR. All other categories rely on explicit consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing. The Data Protection Act 2018 further governs how any personal data linked to cookies is handled.

How the consent manager works and user choices
The site-wide cookie banner allows you to accept all, reject non-essential or customise categories before any non-necessary cookies activate. You can revisit choices via a link in the footer or by clearing browser data. Changes take effect immediately for future visits to pages covering production processes for live shows.
Browser-level controls and consequences
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent use of the contact form or core navigation. Blocking analytics cookies limits our ability to improve resources on acoustic optimisation and lighting setups but does not stop basic access.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the UK. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses apply. Please refer to our separate Privacy Policy for full details on data handling practices.
