Cookies Policy
Last updated: 23 September 2026
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored 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 browser or device. These tools can hold details such as unique identifiers, browsing history within the site, device type, operating system and interaction data. In the United Kingdom they fall under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations together with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
Why the site uses them
celebwirly operates a commercial entertainment media workflow resource focused on interview coordination, studio segments, camera planning, lighting and responsible culture coverage. Cookies help deliver core functions, remember user choices, measure performance and support legitimate business interests. Without them many features would not work correctly and the service could not be provided at the expected quality.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the site to function. They enable basic navigation, security features and access to secure areas. They do not require consent under PECR because they are strictly necessary. Examples include session identifiers that keep you logged in during a visit and security tokens that protect against unauthorised access. They are first-party, session-based and expire when you close the browser.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember your preferences such as language settings, display options or previously viewed content. They improve usability but are not essential. Consent is obtained through the site-wide cookie banner before they are set. These are usually first-party and may persist for up to twelve months to retain your choices across visits.
Analytics or performance cookies
Analytics cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, including which pages are viewed most often and any errors encountered. This helps celebwirly improve the resource for interview coordination and studio planning topics. They are set only after consent and may be first-party or third-party. Typical durations range from one day for session analytics to twenty-four months for aggregated trend data.
Advertising or targeting cookies
These cookies track browsing behaviour to deliver relevant promotions or measure advertising effectiveness. On a commercial media workflow site they may support sponsored content related to camera equipment or lighting solutions. They require explicit consent and are predominantly third-party with retention periods of up to thirteen months.
Social-media cookies
Social-media cookies allow sharing of content or integration with external platforms. They may collect data for personalised feeds or engagement metrics. Consent is mandatory and these are almost always third-party with varying expiry times depending on the provider.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set directly by celebwirly and relate only to this domain. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics or content delivery services. Both types are used but third-party cookies always require consent and are listed in the consent manager where possible.
Session versus persistent cookies
Session cookies last only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when the browser closes. Persistent cookies remain on the device for a defined period or until manually deleted. Retention periods are chosen to match the purpose, such as remembering preferences for up to one year or measuring long-term performance trends for up to two years.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies handle minimal identifiers for security and session continuity. Functional cookies store preference values such as layout choices. Analytics cookies process aggregated usage statistics including page views and time spent. Advertising cookies may capture interest signals for targeted messaging. All processing is limited to what is needed for the stated purpose and is explained further in the Privacy Policy.
Consent or exemption basis for each category
Strictly necessary cookies rely on the PECR exemption for essential functions. All other categories rely on consent under UK GDPR and PECR. Consent is obtained via the site-wide cookie banner before non-essential cookies are activated. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before withdrawal.
How the consent manager works
The cookie banner appears on first visit and allows granular selection of categories. You can accept all, reject non-essential or customise choices. Settings are stored in a first-party cookie that lasts up to twelve months. To change preferences later, revisit the banner through the footer link on any page.
Browser-level controls
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent login or core navigation. Blocking analytics or advertising cookies will stop those functions but the site remains usable for basic content. Instructions for common browsers are available on their support sites.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are used where required. Full details appear in the Privacy Policy.
Policy changes
celebwirly may update this Cookies Policy to reflect legal or operational changes. The date at the top indicates the latest version. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
