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. These files can store or access information such as browser type, device identifiers, IP addresses, pages visited and interaction data. Under UK law they fall within the scope of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations together with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.

Why the site uses them

reportivly operates a commercial platform focused on professional media feeds, live signal management and content distribution for broadcasting. Cookies and similar technologies are required to keep the service reliable, to measure performance and to deliver a functional experience. Without them many core features would not operate correctly.

Categories of cookies and similar technologies

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies enable core functions such as page navigation, security and session management. They do not require consent under PECR because they are essential for the service you requested.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies remember user preferences such as language settings or video quality choices. They improve usability but are not strictly essential.

Analytics or performance cookies

These technologies collect information about how visitors use the site. Data helps us understand traffic sources, popular content and technical performance so that the platform remains stable for news and broadcast operations.

Advertising or targeting cookies

Advertising cookies may be used to limit the number of times an advertisement is shown or to measure campaign effectiveness. They are only deployed after consent.

Social-media cookies

These cookies allow integration with external social platforms. They are subject to the privacy settings of the relevant third-party service and require consent.

First-party versus third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by reportivly and relate only to our domain. Third-party cookies are placed by external providers such as analytics or content-delivery services. Both types are listed in the provider information below.

Session versus persistent cookies

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on the device for a defined period or until manually removed. Typical retention periods range from a few hours for session identifiers to twenty-four months for analytics identifiers. Exact durations appear in the provider table.

Data handled and purpose of each category

Strictly necessary cookies handle login tokens, security tokens and load-balancing identifiers. Functional cookies store preference values such as video player settings. Analytics cookies record page views, session duration and error logs. Advertising cookies capture campaign identifiers and click data. Social-media cookies may transmit basic profile information when you interact with embedded buttons.

Consent or exemption basis under UK law

Strictly necessary cookies rely on the strict necessity exemption in PECR. All other categories require prior consent. Consent is obtained through the site-wide cookie banner and can be withdrawn at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

How the consent manager works

The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows granular acceptance or rejection of each non-essential category. You can reopen the banner via the footer link at any time to review or change choices. All selections are stored for twelve months unless you clear browser data.

Browser-level controls

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent core functions such as login and video streaming from working. Disabling analytics cookies will not stop the site from functioning but will reduce our ability to improve service quality.

International transfers

Some providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. Full details are set out in our Privacy Policy.
