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 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 can contain details such as a unique identifier, the pages visited, the time spent on the site and device characteristics. On a professional resource like encorezenix focused on studio production in motion, such technologies help maintain smooth access to resources about equipment setup, camera operation, lighting and sound waves.
Why the site uses them
encorezenix uses cookies and similar technologies to deliver core site functions, improve performance, understand usage patterns and ensure security. Without them certain features such as remembering login preferences or loading video demonstration workflows would not operate correctly. The site operates as a commercial resource for television news and live shows production, so these tools support reliable delivery of high-quality content and user experience.
Categories of cookies and similar technologies
The site classifies cookies into strictly necessary, functional, analytics or performance, advertising or targeting, and social-media categories. Strictly necessary cookies enable basic navigation and security. Functional cookies remember user choices such as display preferences for workflow diagrams. Analytics cookies collect aggregated data on how visitors interact with pages about dynamic camera operation. Advertising cookies may be used to measure interest in studio equipment content. Social-media cookies could appear if embedded content from third-party platforms is present.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by encorezenix and relate only to this domain. Third-party cookies are set by external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks. Both types may be used to support features like video playback of lighting demonstrations or sound wave analysis tools. First-party cookies generally handle session management while third-party ones often support measurement or security services.
Session versus persistent cookies and retention periods
Session cookies exist only while the browser is open and are deleted when the session ends. Persistent cookies remain on the device for a defined period or until manually removed. On this site session cookies typically last for the duration of a visit to support navigation through production workflow pages. Persistent cookies may last between thirty days and two years depending on their purpose, for example to retain preferences for camera operation tutorials or to enable returning visitors to resume viewing saved resources.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Strictly necessary cookies handle identifiers needed for security and basic functionality. Functional cookies store choices about interface layout or language. Analytics cookies process page views, time on site and click paths to improve content about studio equipment setup. Advertising cookies may record interactions to assess interest in live shows production materials. All data is processed in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Legal basis for each category under UK law
Strictly necessary cookies rely on the strict necessity exemption under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. Functional, analytics and advertising cookies require consent under PECR and UK GDPR. Consent is obtained through the site-wide cookie banner before non-essential cookies are activated. Users may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.
Cookie and provider table
The following table summarises the main cookies used. Necessary cookie named session_id set by encorezenix for authentication lasting one session. Functional cookie named prefs set by encorezenix for layout preferences lasting one year. Analytics cookie named _ga set by Google Analytics for usage measurement lasting two years. Performance cookie named _gid set by Google Analytics for distinguishing users lasting twenty-four hours. No advertising or social cookies are currently deployed on first-party domains.
How the consent manager works and user choices
The site-wide cookie banner allows visitors to accept all, reject non-essential or manage preferences by category. Changes can be made at any time by revisiting the banner controls. Withdrawing consent stops further collection by those categories while previously stored data continues to be handled according to the retention periods described above.
Browser-level controls and consequences of disabling cookies
Most browsers allow users to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent access to secure areas or interactive elements such as workflow simulators. Disabling analytics cookies limits the site's ability to improve content but does not affect core functionality. Users should consult their browser help resources for specific instructions.
International transfers and reference to Privacy Policy
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. In such cases appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are applied. For further details on data handling please refer to the Privacy Policy available on this site.
