Cookies Policy
Last updated: 26 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 that can store or access information on your device. These tools can record details such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited and interactions with video players or course enrolment forms.
Why this site uses cookies and similar technologies
prismify operates a commercial website offering specialised courses in live production decks, control rooms, multi-camera switching, live broadcasting techniques and real-time video operation. Cookies help deliver these services securely, remember your course preferences, measure how visitors use training materials and comply with UK legal requirements under PECR, the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the site to function. They enable secure login to course portals, shopping cart functionality for course purchases and basic navigation. Without them, the website cannot operate correctly.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember choices such as language settings or video player preferences so you do not have to re-enter information during a training session.
Analytics or performance cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors interact with course pages, video demonstrations and enrolment flows. They help us improve the learning experience.
Advertising or targeting cookies
Where used, these cookies support relevant promotion of live production courses to users who have shown interest in broadcasting or streaming topics.
Social-media cookies
These may be set by third-party platforms when you share course content, although our site does not maintain a blog or article section.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by prismify and relate to our own course platform. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as video hosting services or analytics platforms that support live production training features.
Session versus persistent cookies
Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period, typically between 30 days and 24 months depending on their purpose, after which they are automatically deleted.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Strictly necessary cookies handle authentication tokens and cart identifiers. Analytics cookies record aggregated usage statistics such as time spent on multi-camera switching tutorials. No category collects sensitive personal data without separate consent.
Legal basis for each category under UK law
Strictly necessary cookies rely on the strict necessity exemption under PECR. All other categories require your consent, which can be given or withdrawn through the site-wide cookie banner. Consent is recorded in line with UK GDPR transparency obligations.

How the consent manager works
The cookie banner appears on first visit. You can accept all, reject non-essential cookies or manage preferences by category. Choices are stored for 12 months. You may reopen the banner via the footer link to change or withdraw consent at any time.
Browser-level controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent course login and enrolment. Disabling analytics cookies limits our ability to improve training content but does not stop core site functions.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the UK. Appropriate safeguards such as UK-approved standard contractual clauses are in place. Please refer to our separate Privacy Policy for full details on data transfers.
