Cookies Policy
Last updated: 29 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 your preferences, browsing behaviour and device details. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage. These tools help websites remember users and deliver tailored experiences. On this site they may record session identifiers, language settings or technical data about your browser and connection.
Why reportigo uses them
We use cookies to operate the website securely, remember choices you make and understand how visitors interact with our professional resources on live television production. Without them certain features such as form submission and navigation would not function. Analytics cookies help us improve content about studio equipment integration and camera techniques while respecting your preferences at all times.
Strictly necessary, functional, analytics, advertising and social-media categories
Strictly necessary cookies enable core functions including security and session management. Functional cookies remember settings such as display preferences. Analytics or performance cookies collect aggregated usage data to refine our pages on acoustic optimisation and lighting setups. Advertising or targeting cookies may be used by third parties to measure campaign effectiveness. Social-media cookies appear only if embedded sharing tools are active, though our site currently avoids such integrations.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by reportigo and relate to our own domain. They handle essential tasks such as maintaining your progress through course-related information. Third-party cookies originate from external providers including analytics services or content delivery networks. These may track activity across sites but only with appropriate consent under UK rules.
Session versus persistent cookies and retention
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. Necessary cookies often last for the duration of your visit. Analytics cookies typically persist for up to twenty-four months. Functional cookies may remain for twelve months to retain your selected preferences. Exact durations appear in the table below.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies process identifiers required to prevent fraud and enable page loading. Functional cookies store choices such as text size or region selection. Analytics cookies capture page views, time spent and navigation paths to improve material on news programmes and interviews. No personal contact details are processed by default analytics cookies. Advertising cookies, when present, record interaction metrics for performance reporting only.
Consent or exemption basis under UK law
Strictly necessary cookies operate under the strict necessity exemption of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. All other categories require your consent in line with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. We obtain consent through a clear banner before non-essential cookies activate. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.

How the consent manager works
Our site-wide cookie banner appears on first visit and allows you to accept, reject or customise categories. You can reopen the manager via the footer link at any time to change selections. Withdrawing consent immediately disables non-essential cookies for future visits. Previous choices are stored in a first-party cookie lasting six months.
Browser-level controls
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent the contact form and other core features from working. Blocking analytics cookies reduces our ability to improve content on dynamic camera techniques. Instructions for common browsers are available on their official support pages; changes apply only to that browser and device.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. Full details appear in our separate Privacy Policy which you can request by contacting info@nfts.co.uk.
