Cookies Policy

Last updated: 30 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 remember actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage. These tools can store or access information such as browser type, device identifiers, IP address, pages visited and interaction data. On a site offering specialist training in multi-camera switching and live broadcasting techniques, they help maintain the smooth delivery of course materials and booking functions.

Why the site uses them

eventglowup uses cookies to operate essential features, remember user choices, measure performance and support secure transactions for course enrolment. Without them many functions would not work correctly. The use complies with UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.

Strictly necessary, functional, analytics, advertising and social-media categories

Strictly necessary cookies enable core site functions such as secure login and form submission. Functional cookies remember preferences like language or video player settings. Analytics cookies collect aggregated usage data to improve course navigation. Advertising cookies may track interest in production training topics. Social-media cookies allow content sharing but are not active on this site.

First-party versus third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set by eventglowup and relate directly to course content delivery. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as video hosting or analytics services. Both types are listed in the table below where applicable.

Session versus persistent cookies and retention

Session cookies are deleted when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period, typically between 30 days and 24 months, to retain login status or consent records. Exact durations appear in the provider table.

Data handled and purpose of each category

Necessary cookies process minimal identifiers needed for security and form completion. Analytics cookies handle page views and session duration to refine training resources. No personal data beyond what is required for these purposes is retained without separate consent.

Consent or exemption basis for each category

Strictly necessary cookies operate under the strict necessity exemption and do not require consent. All other categories rely on prior consent obtained through the site-wide banner. Consent can be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing already carried out.

How the consent manager works and how users can reject, change or withdraw choices

The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows selection of categories. Choices are saved and can be updated via the footer link at any time. Withdrawing consent stops further placement of non-essential cookies, although previously stored data may remain until its normal expiry.

Browser-level controls and functional consequences

Most browsers allow blocking or deletion of cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent enrolment forms or video playback from functioning. Users should consult their browser help pages for specific instructions.

International transfers

Some analytics providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. Further details appear in the Privacy Policy accessible from the footer.
