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 information such as your preferences or browsing activity. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that can also track or identify users. These tools allow websites to remember actions and preferences over time. In the United Kingdom, their use is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations together with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.

Why the site uses cookies

glamzelo operates a platform for professional media feeds including live signal management and content distribution. Cookies help deliver reliable high-quality services by remembering user settings, measuring performance and ensuring security. Without them many core functions would not operate correctly. The site uses cookies only where necessary for its commercial activities in the United Kingdom.

Categories of cookies used

The site categorises cookies into strictly necessary, functional, analytics or performance, advertising or targeting, and social-media types. Strictly necessary cookies enable basic operation such as page loading and security. Functional cookies remember choices like language or display preferences. Analytics cookies gather aggregated data on how visitors use the service. Advertising cookies may track browsing to show relevant promotions. Social-media cookies support sharing features where present. Each category has a distinct purpose and legal basis.

First-party versus third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by glamzelo and relate to our own domain. They support core functions such as session management for video feeds. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks. These may be used to monitor performance across sites or deliver targeted content. Both types are listed in the 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 handle temporary tasks such as keeping you logged in during a visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They store longer-term preferences or analytics data. Retention periods vary from a few hours for session cookies to up to two years for certain analytics identifiers, depending on the provider and purpose.

Data handled and purpose of each category

Strictly necessary cookies process device identifiers and session tokens to maintain security and basic navigation. Functional cookies store user-selected options such as video quality settings. Analytics cookies record page views, session duration and device type in aggregated form. Advertising cookies may capture browsing patterns to limit ad frequency. Social-media cookies track interactions for sharing buttons. All data processing complies with UK data protection rules and is limited to what is required for the stated purposes.

Consent or exemption basis under UK law

Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent requirements under PECR because they are essential for the service. All other categories require prior consent. Consent is obtained through the site-wide cookie banner before non-essential cookies are set. You may withdraw consent at any time. The legal basis for processing personal data collected via cookies is either consent or legitimate interests where applicable under the UK GDPR.

Cookie and provider table

The following table summarises the cookies currently in use. Information is updated regularly as providers change.

How the consent manager works

The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows you to accept all, reject non-essential or manage preferences by category. Choices are stored for one year. You can reopen the banner via the footer link at any time to change or withdraw consent. Rejecting optional cookies may reduce functionality such as personalised recommendations or detailed usage statistics.

Browser-level controls

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling all cookies prevents the site from functioning properly, including video playback and form submission. You can usually set preferences for first-party and third-party cookies separately. Clearing cookies regularly will reset your consent choices and may require you to respond to the banner again.

International transfers

Some third-party providers process data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are used where required. Full details appear in our Privacy Policy. The policy explains how personal data is protected during such transfers.
