Cookies Policy
Last updated: 05 October 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how streamvyx uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. We operate as a professional media services provider specialising in video operations, live signal management, content distribution, camera work and the creation of reliable high-quality feeds for news programmes and television broadcasting. Our services are based in the United Kingdom and we comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.
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 web beacons, pixels and local storage. These tools can store or access information such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited and interaction data. They do not contain personal information unless you provide it, but they can be linked to other data we hold about you.
Why the site uses them
We use cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, to improve performance, to understand how visitors interact with our professional media content and to support essential business operations. Without them many features would not work and we could not deliver the reliable service expected by broadcasters and news organisations.
Categories of cookies and similar technologies
Strictly necessary cookies enable core functions such as page navigation and secure access to client areas. Functional cookies remember preferences like language or video player settings. Analytics or performance cookies collect information about how users browse and interact with our feeds and resources. Advertising or targeting cookies may be used to measure campaign effectiveness for our B2B services. Social-media cookies allow integration with third-party platforms when sharing broadcasting content.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by streamvyx and relate to our own domain. Third-party cookies are placed by external providers such as analytics platforms or content delivery networks that support our live signal management infrastructure. We carefully select third parties and ensure they meet UK data protection standards.
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 defined period or until manually deleted. Retention periods vary from a few hours for session data up to 24 months for certain analytics identifiers, depending on the purpose and legal requirements.
The data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies process minimal technical data to keep the site operational. Functional cookies store preference data to enhance user experience during video playback. Analytics cookies handle aggregated usage statistics to improve content distribution tools. Advertising cookies may process limited interaction data for performance reporting. All processing is limited to what is required for the stated purposes.
Consent or exemption basis under UK law
Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent under PECR because they are essential for the service you request. All other categories require your consent. We obtain consent through our cookie banner before setting non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.
Cookie and provider table
The following table summarises the main cookies used. Necessary: session identifier, provider streamvyx, category necessary, duration session.

How the consent manager works
Our site-wide cookie banner allows you to accept all, reject non-essential or customise choices by category. Preferences are stored for 12 months. You can reopen the banner via a link in the footer to change or withdraw consent at any time. Changes take effect immediately.
Browser-level controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent access to secure areas or live feed management tools. Disabling analytics cookies limits our ability to improve services but does not stop the site from functioning. Instructions for popular browsers are available on their support sites.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. We rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses. Further information appears in our Privacy Policy which is accessible from the footer.
