Cookies Policy

Last updated: 23 September 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 files may contain identifiers, settings or other data used to recognise returning visitors and support site functions.

Why this site uses cookies and similar technologies

mediabuzzo operates a commercial platform focused on professional media feeds, live signal management and content distribution for broadcasting. Cookies help deliver reliable services, remember user choices, measure performance and ensure the platform functions correctly for visitors in the United Kingdom. Without them certain features would not work as intended.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These enable core functions such as page navigation, form submission and security. They do not require consent under PECR because they are essential for the service requested.

Functional cookies

These remember preferences such as language or display settings to improve usability across visits.

Analytics or performance cookies

These collect aggregated information about how visitors interact with the site so we can understand usage patterns and improve content delivery for media professionals.

Advertising or targeting cookies

These are used only where explicit consent is given and help measure campaign effectiveness without building detailed profiles of individual users.

Social media cookies

These may be set by third-party platforms when content is shared and are subject to the consent choices you make.

First-party versus third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by mediabuzzo and relate to our own domain. Third-party cookies come from external providers that support analytics, content delivery or other services. Both types are used only for the purposes described in this policy.

Session versus persistent cookies and retention

Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period, typically between 30 days and 24 months depending on their purpose, after which they are automatically removed or require renewal of consent.

Data handled and purpose of each category

Necessary cookies store session identifiers and security tokens. Functional cookies hold preference data. Analytics cookies record page views and interaction metrics in aggregated form. Advertising cookies, when consented to, track conversion events. No category stores sensitive personal data.

Legal basis for each category under UK law

Strictly necessary cookies rely on the PECR exemption for essential services. All other categories require consent under PECR and are processed under UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a). Consent is obtained via the site-wide banner and can be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.

Consent manager and how to change choices

The site-wide cookie banner allows you to accept or reject non-essential categories. You can reopen the banner from the footer at any time to review or modify selections. Withdrawal of consent takes immediate effect for future visits.

Browser-level controls and consequences of disabling cookies

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent the site from functioning correctly, including access to contact forms and media feed tools. Disabling analytics cookies limits our ability to improve services but does not stop core operation.

International transfers

Some third-party providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as UK adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses are used. Further details appear in the Privacy Policy.

Policy changes and contact

We review this policy regularly. Material changes will be notified via the site banner. For questions contact mediabuzzo using the details on the Contacts page or by email to [email protected].
