Cookies Policy

Last updated: 5 November 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how reportaix uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. We operate as a professional hub for live television production in the United Kingdom, and this policy complies with UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can store or access information such as your preferences, browsing history, or device details. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage that serve comparable functions for tracking or personalisation.

Why the Site Uses Cookies

We use cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, improve user experience, analyse performance, and deliver relevant content. As a commercial site focused on studio equipment integration and production processes, cookies help maintain reliable navigation and service delivery without unnecessary data collection.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are essential for basic site operation, such as session management and security. They enable core features like form submissions on the Contacts page and cookie banner preferences.

Functional Cookies

These remember your settings, such as language preferences or layout choices, to provide a personalised experience during visits to pages about camera techniques or lighting setups.

Analytics or Performance Cookies

These collect anonymous data on how visitors interact with the site, helping us optimise content related to acoustic optimisation and live show production processes.

Advertising or Targeting Cookies

These are used sparingly to deliver targeted information about our professional hub services, always with consent where required under PECR.

Social-Media Cookies

These may integrate with third-party platforms for sharing content, but only if you actively engage with such features.

First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by reportaix to manage our own services. Third-party cookies come from partners like analytics providers and are used only when necessary for site functionality.

Session Versus Persistent Cookies

Session cookies expire when you close your browser and handle temporary tasks. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period, typically up to 13 months for analytics purposes, after which they are automatically deleted.

Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category

Strictly necessary cookies handle login states and security tokens. Functional cookies store user preferences. Analytics cookies process aggregated usage statistics. All data is minimised and processed lawfully under UK data protection rules.

Consent or Exemption Basis

Strictly necessary cookies operate under the strict necessity exemption. All other categories require your explicit consent via our site-wide cookie banner, in line with PECR. You can withdraw consent at any time.
