Cookies Policy
Last updated: 15 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 recognise your device and store information about your preferences or past actions. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage. These tools can store or access data such as unique identifiers, browsing history, device type and location information. On this site they help deliver reliable media feeds and broadcast services without storing unnecessary personal details.
Why the site uses them
buzzquixra operates a commercial platform focused on professional video operations, live signal management and content distribution. Cookies enable core functions such as maintaining live streams, managing user sessions during broadcasts and ensuring high-quality feeds reach news programmes and television channels. Without them many essential features would not work correctly.
Strictly necessary, functional, analytics, advertising and social-media categories
Strictly necessary cookies keep the site secure and operational. Functional cookies remember preferences such as video quality settings. Analytics cookies measure how visitors use the platform so we can improve performance. Advertising cookies may be used to limit repeated promotions. Social-media cookies are not employed because the site does not integrate external sharing tools.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by buzzquixra and relate only to this domain. Third-party cookies come from service providers that support broadcast delivery, such as content delivery networks. We limit third-party use to those necessary for reliable signal management and never allow unrelated advertising networks.
Session versus persistent cookies and retention periods
Session cookies expire when you close the browser and are used for active live feeds. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period, typically up to 13 months for analytics or up to 24 months for functional preferences, after which they are automatically deleted. Retention is kept to the minimum required to maintain service quality.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies handle session identifiers and security tokens to prevent interruptions during live broadcasts. Functional cookies store chosen video formats and language settings. Analytics cookies record aggregated usage statistics such as page views and stream duration. No category collects names, email addresses or payment details unless you voluntarily submit them through the contact form.
Consent or exemption basis under UK law
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and UK GDPR, strictly necessary cookies operate without consent because they are essential for the service you request. All other categories require your consent, which you can give or refuse through the site-wide cookie banner. Consent is recorded and can be withdrawn at any time without affecting existing broadcasts.

How the consent manager works

Browser-level controls and consequences of disabling cookies
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies will prevent live feeds and signal management from functioning. Blocking analytics cookies will not stop core services but may reduce our ability to improve stream reliability.
International transfers
Some service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. Details appear in the separate Privacy Policy available via the site footer.
