Cookies Policy

Last updated: 26 October 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how newsdilo uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. The site provides professional media feed services including video operations, live signal management, content distribution, camera work and reliable high-quality feeds for news and broadcasting. This document is written in accordance with UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

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 web beacons, pixels and local storage that can store or access information on your device. These tools can record details such as device identifiers, browsing patterns, IP addresses and interaction data. They do not contain personal information in themselves but can be linked to other data you provide.

Why Does newsdilo Use Cookies?

We use cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, to remember your settings, to understand how visitors use the service and to deliver relevant content where appropriate. Without these technologies certain features such as secure access to media management tools or preference saving would not work. The use of cookies supports the delivery of professional media feed services to broadcasters and news organisations across the United Kingdom.

Categories of Cookies We Use

Strictly necessary cookies enable core functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas. Functional cookies remember choices like language or display preferences. Analytics or performance cookies collect aggregated information about how the site is used. Advertising or targeting cookies may be employed by third parties to measure campaign effectiveness. Social-media cookies can appear if content is shared through external platforms.

First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by newsdilo and relate to the core operation of our media services platform. Third-party cookies are placed by external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks. Both types may be present on our pages and each category is listed in the table below with its specific purpose.

Session and Persistent Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They are used for tasks such as maintaining login sessions during live signal management. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period, typically between 30 days and 24 months, allowing us to recognise returning visitors and retain settings for content distribution tools.

Data Processed and Purposes

Strictly necessary cookies process minimal technical data required for site stability. Functional cookies store user-selected preferences. Analytics cookies record page views, session duration and navigation paths to improve service reliability. Where advertising cookies are used they track engagement metrics for campaign reporting. Each category is justified by its contribution to delivering high-quality media feeds.

Legal Basis for Using Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are placed under the PECR exemption for essential website operation. All other categories rely on your consent obtained through our site-wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing already carried out. Consent records are stored in line with UK GDPR accountability requirements.

Withdrawing consent will stop further collection by those categories while leaving essential functions intact.

Browser Settings and Disabling Cookies

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Disabling all cookies may prevent access to secure areas of the site and limit functionality for media professionals who rely on persistent login or preference storage. We recommend reviewing browser help pages for instructions specific to your device.
