Cookies Policy
Last updated: 26 October 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how tqloshay uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. As a provider of professional media feeds for news and broadcasting in the United Kingdom, we operate under the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). This policy details the types of cookies we employ, their purposes, and how you can manage your preferences.
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They store or access information such as your preferences, browsing history, or device details. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage. These tools help websites remember users and deliver tailored experiences. In our case, they support reliable video operations and live signal management by tracking session performance without storing personal data unnecessarily.
Why the site uses them
We use cookies to ensure the website functions correctly for visitors interested in our central hub for content distribution and camera work. They enable secure access to high-quality feeds for television broadcasting, improve site navigation, and gather aggregated data on usage patterns. Without them, features like live signal previews or feed management tools may not operate smoothly.
Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential for basic site operations such as security, load balancing for video streams, and session maintenance during live broadcasts. They do not require consent under PECR as they are strictly necessary.
Functional cookies
These remember your settings, such as preferred video quality or language for media feeds, enhancing usability without tracking across sites.
Analytics or performance cookies
These collect anonymous data on how users interact with our content distribution pages, helping us optimise camera work resources and feed reliability.
Advertising or targeting cookies
These may be used to deliver relevant promotions about our broadcasting services, though we limit them to first-party where possible.
Social-media cookies
These integrate with platforms for sharing news program content but only activate with your consent.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by tqloshay directly and relate to our own media feed services. Third-party cookies come from partners like analytics providers or video hosting services that support live signal management. We carefully select third parties to ensure compliance with UK data protection standards.
Session versus persistent cookies
Session cookies expire when you close your browser and are used for temporary tasks like active feed viewing. Persistent cookies remain for longer periods, up to 24 months in some cases, to remember preferences for recurring visitors to our content hub. Retention periods are reviewed regularly to minimise data storage.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies handle IP addresses and session IDs to maintain secure connections for television broadcasting feeds. Analytics cookies process aggregated viewing statistics to improve distribution quality. All data is used solely to support professional video operations and never sold to third parties.
Consent or exemption basis for each category
Strictly necessary cookies rely on the legitimate interests exemption under PECR. All other categories require your explicit consent via our site-wide cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting your access to core features.

Browser-level controls
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent access to live signal management tools, while blocking analytics reduces our ability to improve feed quality. Check your browser help section for instructions.
International transfers
Some third-party cookies may involve transfers outside the UK. We ensure adequate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses. See our Privacy Policy for full details on data handling.
