Cookies Policy
Last updated: 15 October 2026
What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
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. These tools can store or access information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited and interactions with video content. On a site offering specialised courses in live production decks and control rooms, such technologies help maintain smooth navigation through course materials about multi-camera switching and real-time video operation.
Why Does starzenvoq Use Cookies?
We employ these technologies to deliver essential site functions, remember user choices during enrolment in broadcasting technique modules, measure how visitors engage with streaming production resources and ensure the platform remains secure. Without them many interactive elements used in professional television management training would not operate correctly. The use complies with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.
Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These enable core functions such as secure login to course portals and access to control room simulation materials. They are always active and require no consent under PECR because they are essential for the service requested.
Functional Cookies
These remember preferences like video quality settings or progress in live broadcasting technique modules. They improve usability but are not strictly required.
Analytics or Performance Cookies
These collect aggregated data on how users navigate lessons about real-time video operation. They help us refine course content without identifying individuals.
Advertising or Targeting Cookies
These may be used to show relevant information about advanced television production courses. They are only activated with your consent.
Social-Media Cookies
These facilitate sharing of course achievements on external platforms when you choose to do so. Consent is required before they load.
First-Party versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by starzenvoq and relate only to our domain. Third-party cookies come from external providers that assist with analytics or content delivery for our streaming production training resources. Both types are described in the lists below.
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 set period, typically between thirty days and two years depending on purpose, allowing us to retain information about your progress through professional management of television productions courses.
Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category
Necessary cookies process login tokens and session identifiers to grant access to multi-camera switching tutorials. Functional cookies store language and layout choices. Analytics cookies record page views and video completion rates to improve real-time video operation lessons. All processing follows data minimisation principles under UK GDPR.
Consent or Exemption Basis for Each Category
Strictly necessary cookies rely on the strict necessity exemption. All other categories require your affirmative consent via the site-wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. Consent records are stored for audit purposes in line with PECR.
Cookie Providers and Durations
The following providers support our educational platform. Necessary: session identifier lasting until browser close. Functional: preference storage for up to one year. Analytics: usage measurement for up to two years. Advertising: targeting identifiers for up to thirteen months. Social: sharing tokens for up to six months. Exact names and current durations appear in the consent manager interface.
How the Consent Manager Works
When you first visit the site a banner appears allowing you to accept all, reject non-essential or customise choices. Selections are saved and can be altered later through a link in the footer. Changes take effect immediately and apply across subsequent visits from the same browser.
Browser-Level Controls
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling necessary cookies will prevent access to logged-in course areas covering live broadcasting techniques. Disabling analytics cookies limits our ability to improve content but does not stop core functionality. Full details are available in your browser help section.
International Transfers
Some providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. Please refer to our separate Privacy Policy for further information on these arrangements.
Policy Changes
We review this document regularly. Material updates will be notified via the cookie banner or a notice on the site. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
