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 web beacons, pixels and local storage. These tools can store information such as device identifiers, browsing history, language settings and login status. Under United Kingdom law they fall within the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations together with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
Why this site uses cookies
glitterzofy operates a commercial platform for professional media feeds, live signal management and broadcast distribution. Cookies help keep the service reliable, secure and tailored to professional users. Without them many core functions would fail or require repeated manual input on every visit.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable secure login, session continuity during live feeds, load balancing across servers and fraud prevention. They are set automatically when you access the platform and do not require separate consent under PECR because they are strictly necessary.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember your preferences such as video quality settings, preferred camera views and content distribution regions. They improve usability for broadcast professionals who return regularly. Consent is obtained through the site-wide cookie banner before these cookies are placed.
Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics cookies collect aggregated information about how visitors navigate the service, which features are used most and where performance issues occur. This helps glitterzofy maintain high-quality feeds and reduce downtime. These cookies are only activated after you give consent via the banner.
Advertising and targeting cookies
Advertising cookies may be used to measure the effectiveness of industry-specific promotions aimed at media organisations. They do not track individual viewing habits of news content. Consent is required and can be withdrawn at any time through the consent manager.
Social-media cookies
These cookies allow integration with professional social platforms used by broadcasters for sharing feed metadata. They are only placed if you interact with the relevant buttons and after you have consented.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by glitterzofy and relate to core platform functions. Third-party cookies come from trusted providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks that support live signal distribution. Both types are listed in the table below.
Session versus persistent cookies
Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser and are used for temporary tasks such as maintaining a live broadcast session. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, typically between 30 days and 24 months, to remember preferences or measure long-term performance. Exact durations appear in the provider table.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies process device identifiers and session tokens to keep the service operational. Functional cookies store user-selected settings. Analytics cookies record page views and error logs without personal identifiers. Advertising cookies track campaign clicks at an aggregate level. All processing complies with the data minimisation principle under UK GDPR.
Legal basis for each category
Strictly necessary cookies rely on the PECR exemption for essential functionality. All other categories are processed on the basis of your freely given, specific and informed consent obtained through the cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Browser-level controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies will prevent login and live feed access. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect core functionality but may reduce our ability to improve service quality. Instructions for popular browsers are available on their official support pages.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses are in place. Further details appear in our Privacy Policy, which is accessible from the footer.
