Cookies Policy

Last updated: 23 September 2026

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device and store certain information about your visit. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that can also track user behaviour or preferences. These tools can store or access data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on the site and actions taken during a session. In the United Kingdom, the use of cookies is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations together with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. Understanding these technologies helps visitors make informed choices about their online experience with services such as professional video operation and live signal management.

Why Does clipperly Use Cookies?

clipperly operates a commercial platform focused on media feeds, content distribution and high-quality broadcasting support. Cookies enable essential functions such as maintaining secure sessions during live signal management, remembering user preferences for camera work interfaces and ensuring reliable performance across content distribution tools. Without these technologies many core features would not function correctly. The site also uses cookies to analyse traffic patterns, improve service quality and support targeted advertising where appropriate, all while complying with UK legal requirements for transparency and user control.

Categories of Cookies We Use

We categorise cookies into five main groups. Strictly necessary cookies are required for basic site operation including security and session management. Functional cookies remember choices such as language or display settings to enhance usability. Analytics or performance cookies collect aggregated data on how visitors interact with video operation tools and live feeds. Advertising or targeting cookies help deliver relevant promotions for broadcasting services. Social-media cookies may be present if third-party platforms are integrated for content sharing, although the site itself does not maintain a blog or review section.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by clipperly and relate to core functions such as authenticating users accessing professional video feeds. Third-party cookies are placed by external providers including analytics services or advertising networks that support content distribution. Both types are used responsibly. First-party cookies generally offer greater control to the operator while third-party cookies require careful vetting to ensure compliance with UK data protection standards. Visitors should review the cookie table below for specific examples of each type.

Session Cookies and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. They are commonly used for live signal management sessions to keep feeds active without interruption. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, ranging from a few days to two years depending on purpose. For instance, an analytics persistent cookie might expire after thirteen months to allow long-term performance monitoring of camera work features. Retention periods are kept to the minimum necessary for the stated purpose and are regularly reviewed.

Legal Basis for Using Cookies in the United Kingdom

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, strictly necessary cookies can be set without consent because they are essential for the service. All other categories require prior consent which is obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. Consent is recorded and can be withdrawn at any time. Where personal data is processed, the UK GDPR lawful basis is usually legitimate interests for analytics or consent for advertising. clipperly maintains records of consent decisions to demonstrate compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018.

Our Cookie Table

The following table summarises the cookies currently in use. Names, providers, categories and durations are listed for transparency. Strictly necessary: session identifier by clipperly, duration session only. Functional: preference storage by clipperly, duration one year. Analytics: performance measurement by Google Analytics, duration thirteen months. Advertising: targeting by DoubleClick, duration two years. Social media: sharing facilitation by X, duration six months. This information is subject to periodic updates as providers change their practices.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

The site-wide cookie banner allows you to accept or reject non-essential categories at any time. You can reopen the banner through a link in the footer or by clearing your browser cache. Withdrawing consent will stop future setting of rejected cookies although previously stored data may remain until its natural expiry. Changes take effect immediately for new visits. The consent manager is designed to be accessible and records your choices securely without requiring additional personal information.

Browser Controls and Disabling Cookies

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent access to live signal management features and other core services. Blocking analytics cookies will limit our ability to improve content distribution quality but will not stop the site functioning. Persistent cookies can be cleared manually. These actions are taken at your own discretion and may affect the reliability of high-quality feeds for news programmes.

International Data Transfers

Some third-party cookies may transfer data outside the United Kingdom to countries such as the United States. Appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses are used to protect your information. Further details on data handling appear in our separate Privacy Policy which should be read alongside this document. clipperly ensures all transfers meet UK GDPR requirements for adequacy or approved mechanisms.
