Cookies Policy
Introduction
This Cookies Policy explains how glamzixpo uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It applies to visitors in the United Kingdom and is designed to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. Last updated on 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 web beacons, pixels and local storage that can store or access information on your device. These tools can record details such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages and interactions with content about studio styling, lighting balance, camera composition and entertainment workflows.
Why the site uses them
We use these technologies to operate the website securely, remember your settings, measure performance, and deliver relevant information about our lifestyle and visual media production guide. Without them, core functions such as form submission on the contact page would not work reliably. They also help us understand how users explore topics like polished production workflows so we can improve the experience.
Categories of cookies and similar technologies
We categorise cookies into strictly necessary, functional, analytics or performance, advertising or targeting, and social-media types. Strictly necessary cookies enable basic site operation including security and contact form functionality. Functional cookies remember preferences such as language or layout choices. Analytics cookies gather aggregated data on visitor behaviour to improve content about camera composition and lighting. Advertising cookies may be used to limit repeated messages about our course. Social-media cookies can appear if third-party buttons are present, though our site does not host active social feeds.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by glamzixpo and relate only to our domain. They handle essential tasks such as maintaining your session while you read about entertainment content production. Third-party cookies originate from external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks. These may track activity across sites but are limited by our configuration and UK legal requirements.
Session versus persistent cookies and retention
Session cookies exist 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 manually removed. Our necessary cookies typically expire within 30 minutes of inactivity. Functional cookies may last up to one year. Analytics cookies often persist for 13 months. We review retention periods regularly to ensure they remain proportionate to the purpose of supporting access to our production guide materials.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Strictly necessary cookies process device identifiers and session tokens to keep the site operational and secure. Functional cookies store preference data such as text size or navigation choices. Analytics cookies collect anonymised usage statistics including page views and scroll depth to refine explanations of studio styling techniques. Advertising cookies record interaction history to avoid repetitive promotion. All data is processed under the principles of lawfulness, fairness and transparency required by UK data protection law.
Consent or exemption basis for each category
Strictly necessary cookies rely on the strict necessity exemption under PECR and do not require prior consent. Functional, analytics and advertising cookies are placed only after you provide consent through the site-wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal. We maintain records of consent choices in line with accountability obligations under the UK GDPR.
Managing consent through the consent manager
The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows you to accept all, reject non-essential, or customise categories. You can reopen the banner via a link in the footer to change selections later. Withdrawing consent stops further placement of those cookies, although previously stored information may remain until its natural expiry. The manager logs your choices so the site respects them on future visits from the same browser.
Browser-level controls and consequences
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent core features such as the contact form from working. Blocking analytics cookies limits our ability to improve content on lighting balance and camera composition. You can find instructions in your browser help section. Note that some settings may affect functionality across many websites, not only ours.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs we rely on appropriate safeguards such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses. Details appear in our separate Privacy Policy, which you can request by contacting [email protected].
