Cookies Policy

Last updated: 30 October 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how journeoza uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. We operate a commercial site providing specialised training in live production decks, control rooms, multi-camera switching, live broadcasting techniques, real-time video operation and professional management of television and streaming productions. The policy is written for visitors in the United Kingdom and complies with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can store or access information such as your preferences, session identifiers and browsing behaviour. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage. These tools allow websites to remember actions and settings across visits. On our site they help deliver training-related content and maintain secure sessions during course enquiries.

Why the site uses them

We use cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, to remember your consent choices, to understand how visitors interact with course information, and to measure the performance of our pages. Without these technologies some features such as form submissions and navigation would not work. Analytics cookies help us improve the presentation of our specialised broadcasting courses.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the site to operate. They enable core functions such as security, load balancing and the display of our contact form. They are always active and do not require consent under PECR because they are strictly necessary.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies remember choices such as language or cookie banner settings. They improve usability but are not essential. We obtain consent before placing them.

Analytics or performance cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed most often. The data helps us refine our course descriptions and navigation. We use first-party and selected third-party analytics tools with appropriate consent.

Advertising or targeting cookies

We do not currently deploy advertising or targeting cookies. Should this change we will update this policy and request fresh consent.

Social-media cookies

We do not embed social-media plugins or share buttons. Therefore no social-media cookies are set by journeoza.

First-party versus third-party cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by journeoza and relate to our own domain. Third-party cookies may be set by external providers such as analytics services. All third-party cookies used on this site are listed in the table below and are subject to the same consent rules.

Session versus persistent cookies

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period or until you delete them. Our strictly necessary session cookies expire at the end of each visit. Functional and analytics persistent cookies typically last between 30 days and 24 months depending on their purpose.

Data handled and purpose of each category

Strictly necessary cookies may store session identifiers and security tokens. Functional cookies store consent preferences. Analytics cookies record page views, referral URLs and device type in aggregated form. No personal data such as names or contact details are stored in analytics cookies. All processing supports the delivery and improvement of our live-production training information.

Consent or exemption basis for each category

Under PECR and UK GDPR, strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent. All other categories require prior consent. Consent is obtained through our site-wide cookie banner. You may change or withdraw consent at any time via the same banner. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.

How the consent manager works

Our cookie banner appears on first visit. You can accept all non-essential cookies, reject them or manage preferences by category. Changes are saved immediately and can be revisited through a link in the site footer. If you reject non-essential cookies, analytics and functional features will be disabled.

Browser-level controls

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling cookies may prevent the contact form from submitting correctly and stop us from remembering your preferences. Full details of how to manage cookies are available in your browser help section. Disabling cookies does not stop the site from functioning entirely but reduces convenience.

International transfers

Some analytics providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where transfers occur we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses. Further information is available in our separate Privacy Policy, which you can request by contacting info@nfts.co.uk.
