Cookies Policy

Last updated: 29 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. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that can store or access information on your device. These files can hold details such as a unique identifier, the pages you viewed, the time spent on those pages, device type and browser settings. They do not contain personal information unless you have provided it elsewhere on the site.

Why this site uses cookies

dailymix operates a commercial website focused on professional live television production training. Cookies help deliver core functions, remember user choices and measure how visitors interact with content about studio equipment, camera techniques and production workflows. Without them, essential features such as form submission on the contact page and the cookie banner itself would not operate correctly.

Categories of cookies in use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies enable basic site operation including navigation, security and access to the contact form. They are always active and do not require consent under PECR because they are essential for the service you requested.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies remember preferences such as language settings or banner dismissal. They improve usability but are not required for core functionality.

Analytics or performance cookies

These cookies collect aggregated information about visitor behaviour to help improve site performance. They track page views and session duration without identifying individual users.

Advertising or targeting cookies

No advertising or targeting cookies are currently deployed on this site.

Social-media cookies

No social-media cookies are placed by this site.

First-party versus third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by dailymix and relate only to this domain. Third-party cookies may be set by external providers that support analytics or other services. The site currently limits third-party involvement to essential service providers that comply with UK GDPR and PECR.

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. Necessary cookies typically last for the duration of your visit. Analytics cookies may persist for up to 13 months to allow year-on-year comparison of site usage.

Data handled and purpose of each category

Necessary cookies store session identifiers and security tokens to prevent fraud and enable form submission. Functional cookies store preference flags such as banner status. Analytics cookies record anonymised page paths, referrer URLs and device information solely to understand how visitors engage with production-related content. No category processes special category data.

Legal basis for each category under UK law

Strictly necessary cookies rely on the strict necessity exemption in PECR and the legitimate interests basis under UK GDPR. All other categories rely on consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Consent management and user choices

The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows granular acceptance or rejection of non-essential categories. You can reopen the banner via a link in the footer to review or change selections. Withdrawing consent immediately stops further placement of those cookies, although previously set cookies may remain until their natural expiry or manual deletion.

Browser-level controls

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies will prevent use of the contact form and other core features. Blocking analytics cookies will not stop the site functioning but will limit our ability to improve content about live production techniques.

International transfers

Any data processed via cookies remains within the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. Where a provider transfers data outside these regions, appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. Full details appear in the Privacy Policy.

Policy changes and contact

This policy may be updated to reflect legal or operational changes. The current version date appears at the top of the page. For questions about cookies or data protection please use the contact form on the Contacts page or email hello-pipelinemedia@salford.ac.uk. We aim to respond within one working week.

Additional information on retention

Analytics identifiers are retained for a maximum of 13 months. Necessary session data is cleared at the end of each visit. Preference flags stored by functional cookies expire after 12 months unless you clear them earlier through browser settings.

Consequences of refusing cookies

Refusing non-essential cookies has minimal impact on your experience of reading production guidance. Refusing necessary cookies will disable interactive elements such as the contact form, requiring you to reach dailymix through other channels such as +44 161 295 0100 if provided on the site.
