Cookies Policy

Last updated: 04 November 2026

What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files stored 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 also track usage or store information. These tools can record details such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on site and any preferences you select. In the United Kingdom this activity is governed by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations together with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. The information helps websites function correctly while also enabling measurement of performance and personalisation where consent is given.

Why the Site Uses Cookies

journixpo operates a commercial website offering professional training in live television production. Cookies support essential functions such as remembering your progress through course materials, maintaining security during sessions and analysing how visitors navigate studio equipment tutorials or camera technique modules. Without these technologies many interactive features would not work. We also use them to understand aggregate traffic patterns so we can improve content on dynamic lighting setups and acoustic optimisation without identifying individual users unless consent is provided.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the site to operate. They enable secure login, remember items in any enquiry basket and protect against fraud. They do not require consent under PECR because they are strictly necessary. Examples include session identifiers that expire when you close the browser and security tokens that prevent unauthorised access to your course dashboard. Disabling them would prevent you from completing enrolment forms or accessing protected training videos on reliable production processes.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make such as language settings or video player preferences. They improve your experience when exploring interview lighting setups or news programme workflows. These cookies are first-party and typically last for the duration of your visit or up to one year if you select remember me. Consent is obtained through the site-wide cookie banner before they are placed.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

Analytics cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use the site. They track page views, navigation paths through camera technique lessons and completion rates for modules on studio equipment integration. Providers may include Google Analytics or similar services. Data is aggregated and never used to identify you personally. These cookies are persistent and may remain for up to twenty-six months. Under UK rules they require prior consent which you can manage via the banner.

Advertising and Targeting Cookies

Targeting cookies may be used to deliver relevant course promotions or measure advertising effectiveness. They record your interactions with banners about live show production processes. Third-party providers place these cookies and they are persistent, often lasting up to thirteen months. Consent is mandatory and you can withdraw it at any time without affecting access to core training content.

Social Media Cookies

If social sharing buttons appear they may set cookies from platforms such as LinkedIn or X when you interact with them. These allow tracking across sites for personalised content. They are third-party and require explicit consent. We limit their use on this professional hub to maintain focus on educational material about acoustic optimisation and lighting.

First-Party versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by journixpo and relate to core site functions. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics or video hosting services. Both types appear on our domain but third-party ones can track activity across multiple websites. We disclose all categories in this policy and obtain consent where required by UK law.

Session versus Persistent Cookies

Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically. Persistent cookies remain after you leave and have defined expiry dates ranging from a few days to two years depending on purpose. Retention periods are chosen to balance functionality with data minimisation principles under the UK GDPR.

Data Handled and Specific Purposes

Each category processes limited data. Strictly necessary cookies handle session IDs and security tokens. Functional cookies store display preferences. Analytics cookies record page interactions and device information in aggregated form. Advertising cookies may capture click data for conversion tracking. No category collects sensitive personal data without separate consent.

Consent or Exemption Basis under UK Law

Strictly necessary cookies rely on the strict necessity exemption in PECR. All other categories require affirmative consent obtained through the cookie banner. Consent records are stored securely and you may withdraw agreement at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before the change.

Cookie Providers and Durations

The following providers are currently active: site session manager for authentication lasting until browser close; analytics service for usage statistics up to twenty-six months; functional preference store for one year; advertising tracker for thirteen months. Full lists are updated whenever providers change and displayed in the consent manager interface.

How the Consent Manager Works

The site-wide cookie banner appears on first visit. You can accept all, reject non-essential or customise selections by category. Changes are saved immediately and apply to future visits. You can reopen the manager from the footer or Contacts page to review or alter choices at any time.

Browser-Level Controls

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Doing so may disable login, video playback and form submission on this site. We recommend reviewing your browser help pages for instructions specific to Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge.

International Transfers

Some providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are used. Details appear in our Privacy Policy which you can request via the Contacts page using clients@londonschool.com or +44 20 7605 4123.
