Cookies Policy

What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They store or access information such as preferences, session identifiers and usage data. Similar technologies include pixels, web beacons and local storage that serve comparable purposes. These tools allow websites to recognise returning visitors, remember choices and gather statistics on how content is used.

Why this site uses cookies

redfloornu operates a commercial website offering specialised courses on live production decks, control rooms, multi-camera switching, live broadcasting techniques, real-time video operation and professional management of television and streaming productions. Cookies help deliver core functions, improve navigation, measure performance and support legitimate business operations under UK law.

Categories of cookies we use

We classify cookies into strictly necessary, functional, analytics or performance, advertising or targeting, and social-media categories. Each category serves distinct purposes and is subject to different legal rules under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and UK GDPR.

First-party versus third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by redfloornu and relate to our domain. Third-party cookies are set by external providers such as analytics platforms or content delivery networks. Both types may be session or persistent and are listed in the table below where known.

Session versus persistent cookies

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until manually removed. Retention periods vary by purpose and are detailed in the provider table. Persistent cookies enable recognition across visits but are always subject to your consent choices where required.

Data handled and purpose of each category

Strictly necessary cookies process identifiers needed to maintain secure sessions and complete forms. Functional cookies remember preferences such as language or layout. Analytics cookies collect aggregated usage statistics. Advertising cookies track interactions for targeted promotions. Social-media cookies enable sharing features. All processing is limited to what is necessary for the stated purpose.

Consent or exemption basis for each category

Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent under PECR because they are essential for service delivery. Functional, analytics, advertising and social-media cookies require prior consent. Consent is obtained via the site-wide cookie banner and can be withdrawn at any time. UK GDPR lawful bases such as legitimate interests may apply to certain non-intrusive analytics where appropriate safeguards exist.

Cookie or provider table

The following table summarises cookies currently in use. Names, providers, categories and durations are shown. This information is reviewed regularly.

Strictly necessary: session identifier set by redfloornu, first-party, session duration, purpose site functionality.
Functional: preference storage set by redfloornu, first-party, 30 days, purpose user settings.
Analytics: usage measurement set by third-party provider, first and third-party, 13 months, purpose performance statistics.
Advertising: targeting set by third-party provider, third-party, 90 days, purpose campaign measurement.

How the consent manager works and user choices

The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows acceptance, rejection or customisation of non-essential categories. You may revisit the banner via the footer link to change or withdraw consent. Choices are stored for 12 months unless cleared. Rejecting optional cookies does not affect core site access.

Browser-level controls and consequences of disabling cookies

Most browsers allow blocking or deletion of cookies through settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent form submission or login. Disabling analytics or functional cookies limits personalisation and reporting but does not block access to course information. Instructions for common browsers are available from their official support pages.

International transfers

Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are used where required. Further details appear in the Privacy Policy, which should be read alongside this document.
