Cookies Policy

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 can record details such as browser type, operating system, IP address, pages visited and interactions with video content or course materials.

Why the Site Uses Cookies

We use cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, to remember your course selections and progress through training modules on multi-camera switching and live broadcasting, to measure how visitors use the site and to improve the learning experience for professional management of television and streaming productions. Without these technologies certain features would not work and we would be unable to provide the commercial services offered.

Categories of Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies enable core functions such as secure login to course portals and navigation between pages. Functional cookies remember preferences like language or video player settings. Analytics or performance cookies collect information about how users navigate training sections on real-time video operation. Advertising or targeting cookies may be used to show relevant course promotions. Social-media cookies allow sharing of course information on external platforms where enabled by the user.

First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by reportoxi and relate to our own domain. Third-party cookies are set by external providers such as video hosting services or analytics platforms that help deliver live production course content. Both types may be present when you interact with embedded training materials or contact forms.

Session Versus Persistent Cookies

Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until manually removed. Retention periods vary by purpose: strictly necessary session cookies typically last for the duration of your visit while analytics persistent cookies may remain for up to twenty-four months to track long-term trends in course enrolment.

Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category

Strictly necessary cookies process minimal identifiers required to keep you logged in during course bookings. Functional cookies store settings such as preferred video quality for demonstrations of control-room techniques. Analytics cookies record aggregated usage statistics including time spent on pages about live broadcasting techniques. Advertising cookies may capture interests in specific production topics to tailor future offers. All data is processed in accordance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Consent or Exemption Basis

Strictly necessary cookies operate under the strict necessity exemption of PECR and do not require consent. All other categories rely on your prior consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal. Where consent is not given, non-essential cookies are not set.

How the Consent Manager Works

The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows you to accept all, reject non-essential or customise choices by category. Your selections are stored and can be changed later by revisiting the banner or contacting us. Withdrawing consent immediately stops the setting of new non-essential cookies and existing ones are removed where technically feasible.

Browser-Level Controls

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling all cookies may prevent access to course login areas, video playback of live production demonstrations and submission of the contact form. We recommend reviewing your browser help documentation for specific instructions on managing storage and third-party cookies.

International Transfers

Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved under UK GDPR are used. Full details appear in our separate Privacy Policy which can be requested via the Contacts page.
