This Cookies Policy was last updated on 27 September 2026.
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 may record details such as browser type, device identifiers, pages visited and time spent on content about story planning, visual formats, studio segments, camera setup and online media workflows.
buzzfeedrixo uses cookies to operate the Course A resource efficiently, to measure how users interact with production tutorials and to improve the service for creators in the United Kingdom. Without them some core functions would not work and user experience would suffer.
These cookies are essential for the site to function. They enable secure logins, remember items in a course basket and maintain session security. They are set automatically when you access the platform and do not require consent under PECR because they are strictly necessary.
Functional cookies remember your preferences such as language or display settings for video tutorials. They improve usability but are not essential. We ask for your consent before placing them and you may withdraw consent at any time through the cookie banner.
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the Course A resource. They help us understand which lessons on camera setup or smooth workflows are most popular so we can refine content. Data is aggregated and does not identify individuals directly. Consent is required under PECR and UK GDPR principles.
Advertising cookies may be used to show relevant promotions for additional digital content production materials. They track browsing across sites to build interest profiles. We only deploy them with your explicit consent and you can reject them without affecting access to core lessons.
If you choose to share course segments on social platforms, those services may set their own cookies. These are controlled by the third party and subject to their policies. We do not set social cookies ourselves unless you interact with sharing features.
First-party cookies are set directly by buzzfeedrixo and relate only to our domain. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services that help measure engagement with studio segment videos. Both types are listed in the categories above and respect the same consent rules.
Session cookies last only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period, typically between thirty days and two years depending on purpose, after which they expire automatically. Retention periods are chosen to balance functionality with data minimisation required by UK GDPR.
Strictly necessary cookies handle login tokens and security identifiers. Functional cookies store layout choices. Analytics cookies record page views and video completion rates. Advertising cookies capture interest signals. All processing occurs under documented lawful bases and is limited to what is required for the stated purpose.
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and UK GDPR, strictly necessary cookies rely on the strict necessity exemption. All other categories require prior consent. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. You may change your choices at any time without detriment.
The following providers are currently active on the site. Strictly necessary: session identifier lasting until browser close. Functional: preference store lasting six months. Analytics: usage measurement lasting thirteen months. Advertising: interest tracking lasting ninety days. Full current details appear in the consent manager interface.
The site-wide cookie banner appears on first visit. You may accept all, reject non-essential or customise choices by category. Selections are stored for twelve months and can be reopened via a link in the footer. Withdrawing consent stops further collection from that point but does not delete data already processed under prior consent.
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent login or course progress saving. Blocking analytics cookies will reduce our ability to improve content on visual formats and workflows but will not stop the site functioning.
Some providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. Further information is available in our Privacy Policy.
We review this policy regularly and will update it when practices change. The current version is dated 27 September 2026. For questions about cookies please use the contact form on our Contacts page or write to [email protected] or 9 Station Terrace, London, NW10 5RT, United Kingdom. We aim to respond within one month.
