Cookies Policy
Last updated: 26 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 may record details such as browser type, device identifiers, IP addresses, pages visited and the time spent on those pages.
Why the site uses them
bizluxar operates a platform focused on professional media feeds, live signal management and broadcast distribution. Cookies help deliver core functions such as maintaining live video sessions, remembering user settings for signal routing and ensuring reliable content distribution to news and television partners. Without them many essential features would not operate correctly.
Strictly necessary, functional, analytics, advertising and social-media categories
Strictly necessary cookies enable basic site operation including security and session continuity for video streams. Functional cookies remember preferences such as language or dashboard layout. Analytics cookies measure how visitors interact with feed-management tools and help improve performance. Advertising cookies may be used to present relevant industry content. Social-media cookies allow sharing of broadcast clips but are only active when explicitly chosen.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by bizluxar and relate to our own media operations. Third-party cookies come from service providers such as analytics platforms or content-delivery networks that support live signal management. Both types are listed in the table below when active on this site.
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 for a defined period or until manually removed. Necessary session cookies typically last for the duration of your visit. Analytics persistent cookies may remain for up to 24 months. Advertising cookies usually expire after 90 days unless refreshed by further interaction.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies process minimal identifiers required to keep video feeds stable and secure. Functional cookies store layout choices to improve workflow efficiency for broadcast teams. Analytics cookies collect aggregated usage statistics to refine content-distribution tools. Advertising cookies record viewed categories of media services to tailor future promotions. All data is processed under the lawful bases set out in the next section.
Consent or exemption basis under UK law
Strictly necessary cookies operate under the exemption in the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations because they are essential for the service you requested. All other categories rely on your consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. The UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 govern how personal data within cookies is handled.

How the consent manager works and changing choices
The cookie banner appears on first visit and records your selections. You may reopen the banner from the footer or contact page to alter preferences for functional, analytics or advertising cookies. Withdrawing consent immediately stops new non-essential cookies while existing ones are cleared according to their expiry dates.
Browser-level controls and consequences of disabling cookies
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Blocking necessary cookies may prevent live video feeds and signal management tools from functioning. Disabling analytics cookies limits our ability to improve the platform but does not stop core broadcast services.
International transfers and Privacy Policy reference
Some third-party providers may transfer cookie data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. Full details appear in our separate Privacy Policy available via the site footer.
