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 or access information such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages visited and interactions with video players or live feed controls on our platform. In the United Kingdom they are regulated by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations together with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
Why the site uses them
insightrypo operates a professional media feed service for video operations, live signal management, content distribution and broadcasting. Cookies help deliver reliable high-quality feeds, maintain session continuity during live streams, remember user settings for camera work interfaces and support secure access to distribution tools. Without them core functions would fail and the service could not operate as intended for news programmes and television broadcasting.
Strictly necessary, functional, analytics, advertising and social-media categories
Strictly necessary cookies enable basic site functions such as loading live signals and authenticating users. Functional cookies remember preferences like video quality or dashboard layout. Analytics cookies measure how visitors use the platform to improve performance and reliability of feeds. Advertising cookies may be used by third parties to deliver relevant promotions about broadcasting equipment. Social-media cookies allow sharing of content to external networks but are not active on this site because no social integration is present.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by insightrypo and relate only to our domain. They handle login sessions for media professionals and store settings for signal management tools. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as video hosting services or analytics platforms. These may track usage across different sites to support load balancing of live feeds or aggregated performance reporting.
Session versus persistent cookies and retention
Session cookies last only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. They are used for active live signal management. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, typically between thirty days and two years depending on purpose. For example analytics cookies may expire after thirteen months while authentication tokens last up to twelve months unless you log out earlier.
The data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies process device identifiers and session tokens to keep feeds stable. Functional cookies store layout choices and language settings. Analytics cookies collect page views, time spent on distribution pages and error rates during camera work. Advertising cookies record clicks on promotional banners. All data is used solely to maintain professional video services and is never sold to third parties.
The consent or exemption basis for each category
Strictly necessary cookies rely on the strict necessity exemption under PECR and do not require consent. Functional, analytics and advertising cookies are deployed only after you give clear affirmative consent through our site-wide cookie banner. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. The legal basis under UK GDPR is legitimate interests for essential operations and consent for all other processing.
Cookie or provider table
The following table summarises the cookies we and our providers use. Names, providers, categories and durations are listed below. _ga – Google Analytics – Analytics – 13 months. _gid – Google Analytics – Analytics – 24 hours. _session – insightrypo – Necessary – Session only. pref_layout – insightrypo – Functional – 6 months. ad_click – Third-party ad network – Advertising – 90 days. All durations are approximate and may be shortened if you clear your browser data.
How the consent manager works and changing choices
Our cookie banner appears on first visit and allows you to accept all, reject non-essential or manage preferences by category. You can reopen the banner from the footer at any time to review or alter selections. Changes take effect immediately and previous consent is overwritten. Withdrawing consent stops further collection by those cookies although previously stored data may remain until its natural expiry.
Browser-level controls and consequences of disabling cookies
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Disabling necessary cookies will prevent login to live signal tools and may stop video feeds from loading. Blocking analytics cookies limits our ability to diagnose issues with content distribution. We recommend keeping necessary cookies enabled to ensure reliable broadcasting services.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are used. Full details appear in our separate Privacy Policy which is available via the Contacts page.
