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 that can store or access information on your device. These tools can record details such as your browser type, device identifiers, IP address, pages visited and interaction patterns. In the United Kingdom they are regulated under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations together with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
Why We Use Cookies
redfamezo operates a commercial website providing professional resources on studio production in motion. We deploy cookies to ensure the site functions correctly, to remember user choices, to measure performance and to deliver relevant content. Without these technologies many core features would not operate and the quality of the service would decline.
Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies enable essential functions such as page navigation, form submission and security. They do not require consent under PECR because they are strictly necessary for the service you requested.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember preferences such as language settings or display choices. They improve usability but are not essential. We obtain consent before setting them.
Analytics or Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the site. Data helps us understand traffic sources and improve workflows for television news and live shows content. Consent is required and can be withdrawn at any time.
Advertising or Targeting Cookies
Although our primary focus is educational resources, limited targeting cookies may be used by approved partners to measure campaign effectiveness. Consent is mandatory.
Social-Media Cookies
These cookies allow integration with external platforms for sharing studio equipment or camera operation content. They are set only after you provide consent.
First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by redfamezo and relate to core site functions. Third-party cookies are placed by external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks. Both types are listed in the table below with their respective purposes and durations.
Session Versus Persistent Cookies
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until manually removed. Retention periods range from a few hours for security tokens to twenty-four months for performance measurement, always aligned with the minimum necessary for the stated purpose.
Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category
Strictly necessary cookies handle authentication tokens and load balancing data. Functional cookies store layout preferences. Analytics cookies process aggregated usage statistics. Advertising cookies record interaction with promotional material. All processing is limited to what is required for the legitimate operation of a UK-based professional resource on studio production, lighting and sound.
Consent or Exemption Basis for Each Category
Under UK PECR, strictly necessary cookies rely on the strict necessity exemption. All other categories rely on prior consent obtained through our site-wide cookie banner. Consent is recorded, can be withdrawn and is never assumed from continued browsing alone.
Cookie Provider Table
The following table summarises the cookies currently in use. Provider names, categories and durations are kept up to date.
- Name: _site_session – Provider: redfamezo – Category: Strictly necessary – Duration: Session
- Name: pref_lang – Provider: redfamezo – Category: Functional – Duration: 12 months
- Name: _ga – Provider: Google Analytics – Category: Analytics – Duration: 24 months

How the Consent Manager Works
Our cookie banner appears on first visit and allows granular acceptance or rejection of each non-essential category. You can reopen the banner at any time via the footer link on the Contacts page to review or change selections. Withdrawal of consent takes effect immediately and previous data is retained only where legally required.
Browser-Level Controls
Most browsers permit you to block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent core functions such as contact form submission. Disabling analytics cookies will stop performance measurement but will not affect access to studio equipment setup resources.
International Transfers
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses are in place. Further details appear in our Privacy Policy available on the Contacts page.
Policy Changes
We review this policy regularly. Material changes will be announced on the site and the last-updated date revised. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
