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 store or access information such as preferences, session identifiers and usage data. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that can track activity across sessions. These tools help websites function correctly, remember choices and gather statistics. In the United Kingdom they are regulated by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations together with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.

Why This Site Uses Cookies

famequoraki operates a commercial platform focused on professional media feeds, live signal management and content distribution for broadcasting. Cookies enable reliable delivery of video operations, camera feeds and high-quality signals to news programmes. Without them core services would fail, user settings would be lost and performance monitoring would be impossible. The site uses cookies only for the purposes described below and never for unsolicited marketing.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to operate. They handle login sessions, security tokens, load balancing and form submissions on the contact page. No consent is required under PECR because they are strictly necessary. They are first-party, session-based and expire when the browser closes. Disabling them prevents use of the site.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices such as video player settings, language preferences and feed quality selections. They improve usability for professional users managing live signals. Consent is obtained via the site-wide cookie banner. These are mostly first-party and last up to twelve months. They do not track users across unrelated sites.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies collect aggregated information on how visitors navigate video operation pages and content distribution tools. They help identify technical issues with live feeds and improve reliability. Consent is required. Providers may include third parties such as Google Analytics. Data is retained for twenty-six months in anonymised form. Session cookies last until the browser closes; persistent versions expire after the stated period.

Advertising and Targeting Cookies

These cookies support targeted promotion of broadcasting services to industry professionals. They record viewed pages and feeds to limit ad repetition. Consent is mandatory. Third-party providers place them and they may persist for up to two years. Users can withdraw consent at any time through the consent manager.

Social Media and Embedded Content Cookies

When embedded video players or sharing tools appear, third-party platforms may set cookies to enable playback or track engagement. Consent is obtained before loading such content. These cookies are controlled by the third party and their retention periods vary according to each provider policy.

First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by famequoraki and relate only to this domain. Third-party cookies come from external services such as analytics or video delivery partners. Both types are listed in the categories above. The distinction matters because third-party cookies may combine data across multiple sites.

Session Versus Persistent Cookies

Session cookies exist only while the browser remains open and are deleted automatically. Persistent cookies remain after the browser closes and have explicit expiry dates ranging from a few hours to two years depending on purpose. Retention periods are chosen to balance functionality with privacy minimisation under UK GDPR principles.

Data Categories and Specific Purposes

The following information may be processed: device identifiers, IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, timestamps, video player interactions and consent records. Each category serves a defined purpose such as ensuring feed stability, measuring audience reach for broadcasters or remembering professional user preferences. No special category data is processed.

Consent or Exemption Basis for Each Category

Strictly necessary cookies rely on the PECR exemption. All other categories require prior consent under PECR regulation 6. Consent is freely given, specific, informed and revocable. Records of consent are stored for audit purposes in line with accountability requirements of the UK GDPR.

Cookie Providers and Durations

The site maintains a current list of active cookies. Examples include: session identifier (first-party, necessary, session only), analytics measurement ID (third-party, analytics, twenty-six months), video quality preference (first-party, functional, twelve months), and advertising frequency cap (third-party, advertising, two years). Full details are available through the consent manager interface.

How the Consent Manager Works

The site-wide cookie banner appears on first visit and after any policy change. Users may accept all, reject non-essential categories or manage preferences in detail. Choices are stored for twelve months. To change settings later, revisit the banner via the footer link or clear browser data. Withdrawal of consent does not affect prior lawful processing.

Browser-Level Controls

Most browsers allow blocking or deleting cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies will disable login, contact forms and video playback. Users should consult their browser help section for instructions. Such controls operate independently of the site consent manager.

International Transfers

Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are used. Further information appears in the Privacy Policy accessible from the footer.
