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 store information such as preferences, login details, or browsing behaviour. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage that can access or store data on your device. These tools help websites function correctly and provide insights into how visitors interact with content. In the United Kingdom, their use is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations alongside the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
Why This Site Uses Cookies
famerixly operates a platform focused on professional media feeds, live signal management, content distribution, camera work, and high-quality broadcast feeds. Cookies enable reliable delivery of these services by remembering user settings, securing sessions, measuring performance, and supporting essential operational features. Without them, core functions such as maintaining live connections or personalising feed preferences would not work as intended.
Categories of Cookies We Employ
We group cookies into strictly necessary, functional, analytics or performance, advertising or targeting, and social-media categories. Strictly necessary cookies allow basic site operation including security and session management. Functional cookies remember choices such as language or display preferences. Analytics cookies collect aggregated data on usage patterns to improve service quality. Advertising cookies may track interests for relevant promotions, while social-media cookies facilitate sharing or embedding of broadcast-related content.
First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by famerixly and relate to our own domain. They handle core tasks such as authenticating users accessing media management tools. Third-party cookies come from external providers that support features like analytics or content delivery networks used in live signal distribution. Both types are listed in the provider table below with their specific roles.
Session Versus Persistent Cookies
Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. They are commonly used for temporary tasks such as maintaining a live feed session. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until manually deleted. Retention periods range from a few days for preference settings to up to twenty-four months for certain analytics identifiers, always limited to what is necessary for the stated purpose.
Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category
Strictly necessary cookies process device identifiers and session tokens to keep the site secure and operational. Functional cookies store preference data such as video quality settings. Analytics cookies record page views, time spent on feed management pages, and error rates. Advertising cookies may capture interest categories derived from browsing professional broadcasting topics. Social-media cookies handle authentication tokens for sharing news programme clips. Each category is used only for its declared purpose and never sold to unrelated parties.
Consent or Exemption Basis Under UK Law
Strictly necessary cookies operate under the strict necessity exemption and do not require prior consent. All other categories rely on your explicit consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. Consent is recorded and can be withdrawn at any time. This approach complies with PECR requirements for prior consent before non-essential cookies are set, while respecting UK GDPR principles of lawfulness, fairness, and transparency.
Cookie Provider Overview
The following providers illustrate the cookies currently in use. Necessary cookies include session identifiers from our platform with durations limited to the browsing session. Analytics providers such as measurement services record aggregated performance data for up to thirteen months. Functional preference cookies from famerixly last up to twelve months. Third-party content delivery networks store temporary tokens for live signal reliability lasting no longer than seven days. Full details remain available through the consent manager interface.
How the Consent Manager Works
Our site-wide cookie banner appears on first visit and allows granular acceptance or rejection of each non-essential category. You can revisit the banner at any time via the footer to change selections or withdraw consent. Changes take effect immediately and previously set cookies are removed where technically feasible. The manager stores your preference as a necessary cookie so the choice is remembered across visits.
Browser-Level Controls and Consequences
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent access to secure areas or live feed tools. Blocking analytics cookies reduces our ability to improve service performance but does not stop core functionality. Persistent disabling of functional cookies removes saved preferences, requiring manual re-entry on each visit. These controls operate independently of our consent manager.
International Transfers
Some third-party providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where transfers occur, appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are applied. Details of these arrangements are summarised in our separate Privacy Policy, which should be read together with this Cookies Policy.

Further Information on Data Protection
This Cookies Policy forms part of our broader commitment to data protection under UK GDPR. It explains practical choices available to visitors while avoiding unnecessary repetition of definitions.

We aim to keep all information accurate and accessible for users in the United Kingdom.
