Cookies Policy
Last updated: 6 November 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. On a professional media platform such as buzzclari these files help deliver reliable live video feeds and manage high-quality broadcasting operations without storing personal details beyond what is strictly needed for functionality.
Why the site uses them
buzzclari uses cookies to ensure the platform operates smoothly for users who rely on professional video operation, live signal management and content distribution. They enable the service to remember login states during live broadcasts, maintain technical settings for camera work and keep feeds stable for news programmes and television broadcasting. Without these technologies many core features would not function correctly.
Categories of cookies and similar technologies
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They handle session management, security and basic navigation required to access media feeds. No consent is needed under UK PECR because they are strictly necessary.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember user preferences such as video quality settings or region selection for content distribution. They improve usability for broadcasters and producers but are not essential for core operation.
Analytics or performance cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors interact with the platform. They measure performance of live signal management and help identify areas where content delivery can be improved for television broadcasting clients.
Advertising or targeting cookies
Although buzzclari focuses on professional services rather than consumer advertising, limited targeting cookies may be used to present relevant industry updates to registered users. These require consent under PECR.
Social-media cookies
Social-media cookies may be present if third-party sharing buttons are used to distribute clips from news programmes. These are subject to the privacy settings of the relevant social platform and require consent.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by buzzclari and relate to core service delivery such as maintaining live feeds. Third-party cookies are set by external providers that support analytics, video delivery or security services. Both types are listed in the table below with their specific purposes.
Session versus persistent cookies
Session cookies are temporary and deleted when you close the browser. They are commonly used for live broadcast sessions. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, often up to 24 months, allowing the platform to remember settings across multiple visits for ongoing content distribution projects.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies process device identifiers and session tokens to keep feeds active. Functional cookies store preference data such as bitrate or language. Analytics cookies record usage statistics including page views and video load times. Advertising cookies may capture interest signals for industry-related content. All data is processed under UK GDPR principles of minimisation and purpose limitation.
Legal basis for each category under UK law
Strictly necessary cookies rely on the strict necessity exemption in PECR. All other categories require consent obtained through the site-wide cookie banner. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. buzzclari maintains records of consent in line with UK GDPR accountability requirements.

How the consent manager works
The cookie banner appears on first visit. You can accept all, reject non-essential cookies or manage preferences. Changes take effect immediately and are stored for future visits. To update choices later, revisit the banner via the footer link or browser settings.
Browser-level controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent access to live feeds and signal management tools. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect core functionality but will limit performance insights used to improve broadcasting services.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the UK. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. Further details appear in the Privacy Policy.
