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 pixels, beacons and local storage that can store or access information on your device. These tools can record details such as browser type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent on pages and device identifiers.
Why redcarptix uses cookies and similar technologies
redcarptix operates a professional media feeds platform focused on video operations, live signal management, content distribution, camera work and reliable broadcast feeds. Cookies support core site functions, improve performance for users in the United Kingdom and help deliver a stable experience for broadcasters and production teams. Without these technologies some features would not function correctly.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the site to operate. They enable secure login, session management and basic navigation. They do not require consent under UK PECR because they are strictly necessary. Examples include authentication tokens that keep you logged in during a visit and security cookies that detect fraudulent activity.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember choices such as language settings or video player preferences. They enhance usability for media professionals who return to manage live feeds or review signal quality. These cookies are used only after consent is obtained.
Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the platform. Data includes page views, video load times and navigation paths. This helps redcarptix identify issues with live signal management tools and improve reliability. Consent is required before these cookies are activated.
Advertising and targeting cookies
These cookies track browsing behaviour to deliver relevant promotions about broadcast equipment or content distribution services. They may be set by third-party providers. Consent is mandatory under UK rules before advertising cookies are placed.
Social media cookies
Social media cookies allow sharing of content or integration with professional networks used by broadcasters. They are activated only when you interact with social features and after giving consent.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by redcarptix and relate to core platform functions. Third-party cookies are placed by external providers such as analytics services or video delivery networks. Both types are used on this site, but third-party cookies are disclosed in the table below and require explicit consent where applicable.
Session versus persistent cookies
Session cookies are deleted when you close the browser and are used for temporary tasks such as maintaining a live feed session. Persistent cookies remain on the device for a set period, typically between 30 days and 24 months, to remember preferences or analytics data. Retention periods are listed in the cookie table.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies handle authentication data and security tokens. Functional cookies store user interface preferences. Analytics cookies process usage statistics and performance metrics. Advertising cookies record interest signals for targeted messages. All processing is limited to what is needed for the stated purpose and complies with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Consent or exemption basis for each category
Strictly necessary cookies rely on the strict necessity exemption under PECR. All other categories rely on consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.

Browser-level controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling necessary cookies will prevent login and core platform functions. Disabling analytics or advertising cookies may reduce personalisation but will not stop the site from working. Instructions for popular browsers are available from their official support pages.
International transfers
Some third-party cookies may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. Full details appear in the Privacy Policy.
