Cookies Policy
Last updated: 23 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 pixels, web beacons and local storage that can store or access information on your device. These tools can record details such as browser type, device identifiers, pages visited and interaction patterns.
Why this site uses them
celebzoxa operates a commercial media production resource focused on culture, entertainment interviews, studio reporting, camera setup, lighting and responsible workflows. Cookies support essential functions such as keeping the site secure, remembering your preferences for content presentation, measuring audience engagement and delivering relevant information about our services. Without them many features would not function correctly.
Categories of cookies we use
We group cookies into five main categories. Strictly necessary cookies enable core navigation and security. Functional cookies remember choices such as language or layout preferences. Analytics or performance cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve content about media production techniques. Advertising or targeting cookies may be used to show information about our courses and resources. Social-media cookies can appear if third-party platforms are embedded to share studio reporting or interview clips.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by celebzoxa and relate only to this domain. Third-party cookies are placed by external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks that support video playback of lighting demonstrations and camera setup tutorials. Both types are listed in the table below where applicable.
Session versus persistent cookies
Session cookies last only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Typical durations range from a few hours for security tokens to two years for analytics identifiers that track long-term trends in how users explore responsible media workflows.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Strictly necessary cookies may process IP addresses and session tokens to prevent fraud and ensure the contact form works. Functional cookies store display settings so that studio reporting pages load consistently. Analytics cookies collect aggregated usage statistics such as time spent on articles about lighting techniques. Advertising cookies may record interest in course offerings. Social-media cookies can capture sharing actions if you choose to distribute interview content.
Legal basis for each category under UK law
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and UK GDPR, strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent because they are essential for the service you requested. All other categories rely on your consent, which you can give or withdraw at any time through the site-wide cookie banner or the consent manager described below. We maintain records of consent in line with Data Protection Act requirements.
Cookie and provider table
The following table summarises the main cookies currently in use. Exact names and durations may change as providers update their services.
- Name: _ga – Provider: Google Analytics – Category: analytics – Duration: 2 years – Purpose: distinguishes unique visitors to measure engagement with media production resources.
- Name: _gid – Provider: Google Analytics – Category: analytics – Duration: 24 hours – Purpose: groups user activity during a single visit.

How the consent manager works
When you first visit the site a banner appears offering choices for each non-essential category. You can accept all, reject all non-essential cookies or customise selections. Your choices are stored and can be changed later by returning to the banner or contacting us. Withdrawing consent does not affect data already processed under previous consent.
Browser-level controls and consequences of disabling cookies
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. If you disable strictly necessary cookies some pages including the contact form may stop working. Disabling analytics cookies will prevent us from understanding how visitors use content on camera setup and lighting, but the site will remain usable. Instructions for popular browsers are available on their official support pages.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved under UK GDPR. Further details appear in our Privacy Policy, which you can request via the contact form on the Contacts page.
Policy changes and how to contact us
We review this Cookies Policy regularly and will update the last-updated date when material changes occur. If you have questions about our use of cookies please use the contact form on the Contacts page or write to Butlers Wharf Building, 36 Shad Thames, London SE1 2YE, United Kingdom or email [email protected]. We aim to respond within one month in accordance with UK data protection rules.
