Cookies Policy

What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They store information that can be read by the website or third parties on subsequent visits. Similar technologies include pixels, beacons and local storage that perform comparable functions. These files can hold details such as your preferences, browsing patterns and technical identifiers without directly identifying you in all cases.
Why this site uses cookies
presswirvo operates a commercial website offering specialised training in live production decks and control rooms. Cookies enable core functions such as secure navigation through course materials, remembering your login status during sessions, and measuring how visitors interact with content on multi-camera switching techniques or real-time video operation. Without these technologies the site could not deliver the intended user experience or comply with legal obligations under UK law.
Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the site to function. They allow you to move around the site and use its features, including submitting the contact form on the Contacts page. They do not require consent under PECR because they are strictly necessary.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make, such as language settings or the status of the site-wide cookie banner. They improve usability but are not essential for basic operation.
Analytics or performance cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, such as which pages on live broadcasting techniques are viewed most often. The data helps us improve course content and is processed in aggregated form.
Advertising or targeting cookies
Although this site does not run personalised advertising, certain third-party cookies may be used for limited measurement of campaign effectiveness when visitors arrive from external promotions.
Social-media cookies
If you interact with embedded social features, these cookies may be set by platforms to track your activity across sites. We do not control these cookies directly.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by presswirvo and can only be read by our domain. Third-party cookies are set by external providers such as analytics services and can be read across multiple sites. Both types may be present on this website.
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 you delete them manually. Retention periods vary by category and are detailed in the table below.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies process technical identifiers to maintain security and session continuity. Functional cookies store preference data such as banner acceptance. Analytics cookies record page views, time spent on content about television and streaming productions, and device type. No personal data such as names or contact details are stored in analytics cookies.
Consent or exemption basis under UK law
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR, strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent. All other categories require your prior consent, which you can give or withdraw through the cookie banner. Consent is recorded and can be managed at any time.
Cookie table
The following table lists the main cookies used. Durations are approximate and may change.
- Name: _nec; Purpose: Maintain login session; Provider: presswirvo; Category: Strictly necessary; Duration: Session.

How the consent manager works
The site-wide cookie banner appears on your first visit. You can accept all categories, reject non-essential cookies, or access detailed settings to choose individual categories. Your choices are stored for 12 months. To change or withdraw consent later, revisit the banner via the footer link on any page.
Browser-level controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies will prevent the contact form and course login from working correctly. Disabling analytics cookies will stop performance data collection but will not affect core site functions.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. Full details appear in our Privacy Policy.
