Cookies Policy
Last updated: 4 October 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 such as login status, language selection, or display settings. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that can store or access information on your device. On a professional media feeds platform focused on video operation, live signal management, content distribution, camera work and reliable high-quality feeds for news and television broadcasting these files help maintain continuous service quality without repeated interruptions.
Why the site uses them
We use cookies to deliver the core functions of our commercial website, improve performance for users who rely on live video feeds, remember technical preferences during content distribution sessions, and comply with legal obligations under UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and PECR. Without them many features essential to professional broadcasters would fail or require constant re-entry of settings. We never use cookies to create detailed personal profiles for advertising without explicit consent.
Strictly necessary, functional, analytics, advertising and social-media categories
Strictly necessary cookies enable basic site operation such as secure session handling for live signal management tools. Functional cookies remember user choices like preferred camera feed layouts or distribution formats. Analytics cookies measure how visitors interact with content distribution pages so we can reduce buffering issues. Advertising cookies may be used only with consent to limit repeated promotions. Social-media cookies appear only if a user chooses to share broadcast clips through third-party platforms and require separate consent.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by premierspin and relate to our own video operation and live signal tools. Third-party cookies come from service providers we engage for analytics or content delivery networks that support high-quality television feeds. Both types are listed in later sections with their specific purposes and durations so visitors can make informed decisions.
Session versus persistent cookies and retention information
Session cookies last only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it; they support active live signal management without storing data after the session ends. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until manually removed; typical durations range from thirty days for functional preferences up to thirteen months for analytics measurements that help maintain reliable news programme feeds. Exact expiry for each cookie appears in the provider table below.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies handle session identifiers, security tokens and load-balancing data required for uninterrupted camera work and content distribution. Functional cookies store display preferences and video player settings. Analytics cookies collect aggregated usage statistics such as page load times and feature interaction rates. No category processes special category data. All processing is limited to what is strictly needed for the professional media services we provide.
Consent or exemption basis for each category
Strictly necessary cookies operate under the strict necessity exemption of PECR and do not require consent. Functional, analytics and advertising categories rely on consent obtained through our site-wide cookie banner. Consent is recorded, freely given, specific, informed and as easy to withdraw as to give. You can change choices at any time via the banner link on every page or by contacting [email protected].
Cookie or provider information
The following providers and cookies are currently active. Necessary: session identifier from premierspin lasting session only; load balancer token from content delivery partner lasting session only. Functional: language preference from premierspin lasting thirty days; video player settings from premierspin lasting ninety days. Analytics: usage measurement from analytics provider lasting thirteen months. No advertising cookies are deployed without prior consent.
How the consent manager works and user choices
Our consent manager appears on first visit and records your selections for each category. You may accept all, reject non-essential cookies, or customise choices. Selections are stored for twelve months unless you clear site data. To withdraw consent later simply reopen the banner from the footer and adjust the toggles; changes apply immediately and previously set non-essential cookies are removed.
Browser-level controls and consequences of disabling cookies
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling necessary cookies will prevent core functions such as live signal authentication and may stop video feeds from loading. Blocking analytics cookies reduces our ability to improve service reliability but does not affect basic browsing. Instructions for popular browsers are available on their support sites; results vary by device and version.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where transfers occur we rely on UK adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office. Full details appear in our separate Privacy Policy which is available from the footer of every page.
