Cookies Policy

Last updated: 29 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 recognise your device and remember certain information about your visit. Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons and local storage. These tools can store or access data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited and actions taken on the site. On a commercial resource like premiumerix that provides premium production workflow guidance covering studio setup, camera planning, lighting design, audio preparation and media delivery, such technologies help maintain a smooth user experience.

Why the site uses them

premiumerix uses cookies to operate securely, remember user preferences, measure performance and support the delivery of relevant content. Without them some features would not function correctly. The site operates under the rules of the United Kingdom, including the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.

Categories of cookies used

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the site to function. They enable basic features such as page navigation, form submission and security. They do not require consent under PECR because they are essential.

Functional cookies

These remember choices you make, such as language settings or display preferences, so you do not need to re-enter information on each visit.

Analytics or performance cookies

These collect information about how visitors use the site, helping us understand traffic patterns and improve content on production workflows.

Advertising or targeting cookies

These are used to deliver advertisements that may be relevant to your interests. They track browsing across sites to build profiles for advertising purposes.

Social-media cookies

These are placed by third-party platforms when you interact with embedded content. They enable sharing and may track your activity for advertising.

First-party versus third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by premiumerix itself and remain under our control. Third-party cookies are set by external providers such as analytics or advertising partners. Both types may be present on this site.

Session versus persistent cookies

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period, which can range from a few days to two years depending on the provider. Retention periods are listed in the table below where known.

Data handled and purpose of each category

Necessary cookies handle login status and security tokens to prevent fraud. Functional cookies store preference data such as layout choices for workflow diagrams. Analytics cookies record page views and session duration to refine content on lighting design or audio preparation. Advertising cookies capture interest signals to show relevant production equipment promotions. Social cookies may record likes or shares related to media delivery tutorials.

Consent or exemption basis

Strictly necessary cookies rely on the strict necessity exemption under PECR. All other categories require your consent under UK GDPR and PECR. Consent is obtained through the site-wide cookie banner before non-essential cookies are set.

Cookie table

The following table summarises the main cookies currently in use. Details may change as providers update their services.

Name: _ga; Purpose: Distinguishes users for analytics; Provider: Google Analytics; Category: Analytics; Duration: 2 years
Name: _gid; Purpose: Distinguishes users for analytics; Provider: Google Analytics; Category: Analytics; Duration: 24 hours
Name: cookie_consent; Purpose: Stores consent choices; Provider: premiumerix; Category: Necessary; Duration: 1 year
Name: _fbp; Purpose: Tracks visits for advertising; Provider: Meta; Category: Advertising; Duration: 3 months

How the consent manager works

The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows you to accept all, reject non-essential, or manage preferences. You can return to the banner at any time via the footer to change or withdraw consent. Withdrawing consent stops future collection by those categories but does not delete data already processed.

Browser-level controls

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent forms from working or pages from loading. Disabling analytics cookies limits our ability to improve the site but does not stop core functions. Instructions for common browsers are available on their support pages.

International transfers

Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are used. Please refer to our separate Privacy Policy for further details on data handling.

Policy changes and contact

We may update this policy to reflect legal or operational changes. The current version will always be available on this page. If you have questions about cookies, please use the contact form on our Contacts page or write to [email protected] or 36 Shad Thames, Butler's Wharf Building, London, SE1 2YE, United Kingdom. We aim to respond within one month.
