Cookies Policy

Last updated: 15 October 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how showquixra uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. As a provider of professional media feeds including video operations, live signal management, content distribution, camera work and high-quality broadcast feeds for news and television, we are committed to transparency under UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can store or access information such as your preferences, device details and browsing behaviour. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that perform comparable functions. These tools help websites remember users and deliver services efficiently.

Why the site uses them

We use cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, improve performance, understand usage patterns and deliver relevant content. Without them, core features such as navigation, form submissions and secure access would not operate reliably for visitors seeking information about our media feed services.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas. They are always active and do not require consent because the service cannot be provided without them.

Functional cookies

These remember choices such as language preferences or form data to enhance usability during your visit.

Analytics or performance cookies

These collect anonymous information about how visitors use the site, helping us identify improvements to our content on video operations and signal management.

Advertising or targeting cookies

These track browsing habits to deliver personalised advertisements, though our site minimises their use given its professional focus.

Social-media cookies

These may be set by third-party platforms if content is shared, though our site does not host active social sharing tools.

First-party versus third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by showquixra and relate only to our domain. Third-party cookies are set by external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks that support our broadcast-related operations.

Session versus persistent cookies

Session cookies are temporary and deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period, typically between 30 days and two years depending on purpose, allowing us to recognise returning visitors and maintain settings over time.

Data handled and purpose of each category

Necessary cookies handle session identifiers and security tokens. Functional cookies store preference data. Analytics cookies process aggregated usage statistics. All data is used solely to maintain and improve the delivery of reliable media feeds and related professional services.

Consent or exemption basis under UK law

Strictly necessary cookies rely on the PECR exemption for essential functionality. All other categories require your consent under PECR and are processed under UK GDPR legitimate interests or consent where appropriate. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.

How the consent manager works

Browser-level controls

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent the site from functioning, including contact form submissions and access to service information.

International transfers

Some third-party cookies may transfer data outside the UK. We rely on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for further details on safeguards.
