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 your actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels and local storage that can store or access information on your device.
Why this site uses cookies and similar technologies
We use these technologies to ensure the site functions correctly, to remember your preferences where relevant, to understand how visitors interact with our professional studio production resources and to deliver a secure and efficient experience for users interested in studio equipment setup, camera operation, lighting, sound and live production workflows.
Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies enable core functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas. Functional cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience. Analytics or performance cookies help us measure visitor numbers and understand usage patterns. Advertising or targeting cookies are not used on this site. Social-media cookies are not employed here as we do not integrate third-party social sharing tools.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by headlineko and relate only to our domain. Third-party cookies may be set by external providers that support essential site functions such as content delivery or security. We limit third-party involvement to the minimum required for reliable operation.
Session versus persistent cookies
Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them. Most necessary cookies on this site are session-based while certain functional preferences may persist for up to twelve months.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Strictly necessary cookies handle basic identifiers required for site navigation and security. Functional cookies store preference settings such as language or layout choices. Analytics cookies collect aggregated usage statistics including pages viewed and time spent on site to help improve content about studio production techniques. No personal contact details are processed by these cookies.
Consent or exemption basis under UK law
Strictly necessary cookies operate under the strict necessity exemption of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. All other categories require your consent under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Consent is obtained through our site-wide cookie banner before non-essential cookies are activated.

How the consent manager works
Our cookie banner appears on first visit and allows you to accept or reject non-essential categories. You can return to the banner controls at any time via the footer link to change or withdraw your choices. Withdrawing consent immediately disables the relevant cookies where technically feasible.
Browser-level controls and consequences of disabling cookies
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent the site from working correctly, including access to resources on studio equipment and live production workflows. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect core functionality but will limit our ability to improve the service.
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. Full details appear in our Privacy Policy which can be accessed from the site footer.
