Cookies Policy
Last updated on 08 October 2026.
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons and local storage that can track user interactions or store data locally without a traditional file. These tools can record details such as browser type, device identifiers, pages visited and interaction timestamps. On our platform focused on professional video feeds and broadcasting operations, they help maintain seamless live signal management and content distribution without repeated interruptions.
Why the site uses them
We employ these technologies to ensure the service operates reliably for users handling high-quality media feeds for news and television. They support core functions like session continuity during live broadcasts, preference storage for camera settings and performance monitoring to prevent disruptions in content delivery. Without them, many interactive features would fail, leading to repeated logins or lost custom configurations during professional video operations.
Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies enable basic site functions such as navigation and access to secure areas required for managing live signals. Functional cookies remember user choices like interface layouts for camera work tools. Analytics or performance cookies collect aggregated data on how visitors use the hub for feeds to identify and fix technical issues. Advertising or targeting cookies may personalise content recommendations related to broadcasting services. Social-media cookies facilitate sharing of professional video content where integrated features exist.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies originate directly from mediarisly and are used to maintain your session while accessing our media feed services. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics platforms or content delivery networks that assist with signal distribution. These third parties may set cookies to support their own operations while helping us deliver reliable feeds, but they operate under their own policies referenced in our broader privacy documentation.
Session versus persistent cookies and retention
Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it, supporting temporary tasks like active live signal monitoring. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, often up to 24 months, to retain preferences for ongoing content distribution workflows. Retention periods vary by purpose: necessary cookies may last only the session, while analytics ones could persist for 13 months to allow trend analysis in broadcasting performance.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies process minimal identifiers to keep the service running for video operations. Functional cookies store settings such as preferred feed resolutions. Analytics cookies handle usage statistics to improve live management tools. Each category serves a distinct role in supporting professional media activities without unnecessary data collection beyond operational needs.
Consent or exemption basis under UK law
Strictly necessary cookies operate under the exemption in PECR as they are essential for the service you requested. Other categories rely on your consent obtained through our site-wide cookie banner in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.
How the consent manager works and user choices
Our banner allows you to accept or reject non-essential categories before any such cookies are set. You can revisit the banner via a link in the footer to change preferences or withdraw consent later. Rejecting categories may limit features like personalised analytics for feed performance but will not block core broadcasting functions.
Browser-level controls and consequences
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling all cookies can prevent access to secure areas needed for live signal management and may cause the site to malfunction during content distribution tasks. We recommend reviewing your browser help resources for specific instructions on managing these technologies.
International transfers
Some third-party cookies may transfer data outside the United Kingdom to countries with different data protection standards. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are used where required. For further details on these transfers please refer to the Privacy Policy available on our site.

We may update this policy to reflect changes in technology or regulations. The current version always appears on this page with the last updated date.
