Cookies Policy

Last updated: 8 October 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 pixels, web beacons and local storage that can store or access information on your device. These tools can record details such as browser type, device identifiers, pages visited and interaction data. On a professional media platform such as framedecko they support reliable delivery of live video feeds and content distribution without storing personal details beyond what is strictly required for service operation.

Why the site uses them

framedecko uses cookies to keep the service secure, to remember user preferences during a session and to measure how visitors interact with professional video tools. Without these technologies live signal management and content distribution would lose essential stability. The company operates under UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, ensuring every use is justified by a lawful basis.

Categories of cookies and similar technologies

The site distinguishes five main categories. Strictly necessary cookies enable core functions such as page loading and secure authentication. Functional cookies remember choices like language or player settings. Analytics or performance cookies collect aggregated usage statistics. Advertising or targeting cookies are not used. Social-media cookies are not used. Each category is explained in dedicated sections below.

First-party versus third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by framedecko and remain under its control. Third-party cookies may be set by service providers that support video encoding or content delivery. All third-party providers are contractually bound to respect UK data-protection standards and may only process data for the purposes agreed with framedecko.

Session versus persistent cookies and retention periods

Session cookies are deleted automatically when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until manually removed. Necessary cookies typically expire within 24 hours. Functional preferences may last up to 12 months. Analytics identifiers are retained for a maximum of 13 months before automatic deletion or renewal of consent.

Data handled and purpose of each category

Strictly necessary cookies store session identifiers and security tokens to prevent interruption of live feeds. Functional cookies retain player volume or layout preferences. Analytics cookies record page views, load times and error rates so that framedecko can maintain broadcast-quality reliability. No category collects names, addresses or direct contact details.

Consent or exemption basis under UK law

Strictly necessary cookies operate under the strict necessity exemption and do not require consent. All other categories rely on consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. Consent is recorded, timestamped and can be withdrawn at any time without affecting service access. Withdrawal is handled through the same banner mechanism.

How the consent manager works and how users can reject, change or withdraw choices

The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows selection of each non-essential category. Users may accept all, reject all or choose individual categories. Settings can be reopened at any time via the footer link. Changes take immediate effect and previous consent records are updated. No further action is required from the user.

Browser-level controls and functional consequences

Most browsers allow users to block or delete cookies through settings menus. Blocking necessary cookies may prevent login or live-stream playback. Blocking analytics cookies simply stops performance data collection and does not degrade core service quality. Instructions for popular browsers are available on their official support pages.

International transfers and reference to the Privacy Policy

Some analytics providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. In such cases framedecko relies on UK-approved safeguards including standard contractual clauses. Full details of data handling appear in the separate Privacy Policy accessible from the site footer.
