Cookies Policy

Last updated: 30 September 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how primeshowly uses cookies and similar technologies on our premium show production platform. The platform supports studio setup, stage lighting, camera movement, audio control, and smooth workflows for live and recorded programs. It is intended for users in the United Kingdom and complies with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

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 or access information such as device identifiers, browsing patterns, session durations, and user preferences. On our platform they help maintain consistent production workflows without storing personal details beyond what is necessary for service delivery.

Why the Site Uses Cookies

We use cookies to deliver core platform functions, improve performance for tasks like camera movement coordination, ensure secure access during live broadcasts, and provide analytics that help refine stage lighting and audio control features. Without these technologies many interactive elements would fail, leading to disrupted studio setups or incomplete recorded programs.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies enable basic platform operation such as user authentication and session management during live events. Functional cookies remember preferences for workflow layouts and equipment configurations. Analytics or performance cookies collect aggregated data on how users interact with camera movement tools and audio controls. Advertising or targeting cookies are not used on this platform. Social-media cookies are absent because no social sharing integrations are present.

First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by primeshowly and relate to our own domain for maintaining production sessions. Third-party cookies come from service providers that support essential platform infrastructure, such as hosting or analytics tools. All third-party cookies are vetted to align with UK data protection standards and are limited to categories that do not involve advertising.

Session Versus Persistent Cookies

Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it; they support active live program workflows. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, typically up to 24 months, to retain preferences for recurring studio setups. Retention periods are chosen to balance user convenience with data minimisation principles under UK GDPR.

Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category

Strictly necessary cookies process login tokens and session identifiers to keep productions running. Functional cookies store layout choices for lighting and audio interfaces. Analytics cookies record page views and feature usage statistics in anonymised form to improve platform reliability. No category collects names, addresses or contact details unless you voluntarily provide them through the contact form on the Contacts page.

Consent or Exemption Basis Under UK Law

Strictly necessary cookies operate under the PECR exemption for essential services and do not require consent. All other categories rely on explicit consent obtained through our site-wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal. This approach satisfies transparency requirements of the UK GDPR.

Cookie Providers and Durations

Our platform employs a limited set of providers. The core session manager from primeshowly uses first-party session cookies that expire at the end of each browser session. Analytics tools from a trusted provider utilise persistent cookies lasting 13 months for performance monitoring of camera and lighting features. Functional preference cookies from the same provider last 12 months to preserve workflow settings. Full details of each provider, category, purpose and exact duration are maintained in our internal records and summarised on request via the contact form.

How the Consent Manager Works

The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows granular choices for each non-essential category. Selecting reject disables analytics and functional cookies immediately. You can reopen the banner through a persistent link in the footer to change or withdraw selections. All choices are stored in a consent cookie that lasts six months, after which the banner reappears to confirm ongoing preferences.

Browser-Level Controls and Consequences

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent login and core production functions, rendering live and recorded program workflows unusable. Blocking analytics cookies reduces our ability to diagnose performance issues but does not stop platform access. We recommend reviewing browser documentation for precise steps relevant to your device.

International Transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. In such cases appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses approved under UK GDPR are applied. Further information appears in our Privacy Policy, which can be accessed from the footer.

Policy Changes and Contact
