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 allow the site to remember actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons and local storage objects that can store or access information on your device. These files may contain details such as a unique identifier, the pages you viewed, the time spent on those pages and any choices you made while using the site. In the context of our specialised training courses on live production decks, control rooms, multi-camera switching, live broadcasting techniques, real-time video operation and professional management of television and streaming productions, cookies help maintain a consistent learning environment across sessions.
Why the site uses cookies
We use cookies to deliver the core functions of our commercial website, to remember user preferences during course enquiries and to measure how visitors interact with information about our live production training programmes. Without these technologies certain features such as form submissions and session continuity would not function correctly. Cookies also support compliance with UK data protection expectations by allowing us to record consent choices accurately.
Categories of cookies we employ
We categorise cookies into strictly necessary, functional, analytics or performance, and advertising or targeting. Strictly necessary cookies enable basic site operation including navigation and security. Functional cookies remember choices such as language or form data. Analytics cookies help us understand aggregate usage patterns so we can improve course descriptions and enrolment flows. Advertising cookies are used only when visitors have given consent and help measure the effectiveness of promotions for our broadcasting and streaming production courses.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by journomixza and remain under our control. Third-party cookies may be placed by external providers that support analytics or embedded media related to live production demonstrations. We limit third-party involvement to services that meet UK GDPR and PECR standards and we maintain records of all such providers.
Session versus persistent cookies
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser and are used for temporary functions such as keeping you logged into an enquiry form. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, typically between thirty days and twenty-four months depending on their purpose. For example, a functional cookie that stores your preference for video playback quality may last for six months while an analytics cookie used to count unique visitors may expire after thirteen months.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Strictly necessary cookies may process device identifiers and session tokens to prevent fraud and ensure secure access to course information. Functional cookies store preference settings such as video controls or form field values to improve usability during enquiries about multi-camera switching training. Analytics cookies collect anonymised usage statistics including page views and referral sources so we can refine content about real-time video operation. Advertising cookies, when consented to, may record interaction with promotional banners to evaluate campaign reach for our streaming production programmes.
Consent or exemption basis under UK law
Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent requirements under PECR because they are essential for the service you requested. All other categories rely on prior consent obtained through our site-wide cookie banner. Consent is recorded and can be withdrawn at any time. We follow the UK GDPR principles of lawfulness, fairness and transparency when processing any personal data linked to cookies.
Cookie and provider table
The following table summarises the cookies currently in use. Necessary: session identifier set by journomixza, purpose site security, duration session only. Functional: preference storage set by journomixza, purpose remember video settings, duration six months. Analytics: usage statistics set by a measurement provider, purpose aggregate traffic analysis, duration thirteen months. Advertising: campaign tracking set by an approved partner, purpose measure promotion performance, duration thirty days. Full details of each provider are available upon request via the contact form on our Contacts page.
How the consent manager works
Our cookie banner appears on first visit and allows you to accept all, reject non-essential, or customise choices by category. Selections are stored for twelve months. You may reopen the banner at any time through a link in the footer to review or change preferences. Withdrawing consent immediately stops further placement of non-essential cookies and deletes those already stored where technically feasible.
Browser-level controls and consequences
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Blocking all cookies may prevent the contact form from submitting correctly and could disable session persistence needed to complete course enquiry processes. We recommend adjusting settings to allow strictly necessary cookies while managing others according to your preferences.
International transfers
Some analytics providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner. Further information on data handling appears in our Privacy Policy which can be accessed from the footer.
