Cookies Policy

Last updated: 28 September 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how dailybriefry uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. The site provides a daily news briefing resource focused on newsroom planning, short-form reports, studio updates, camera coordination, and clear workflows for regular media delivery. It is operated from the United Kingdom and complies with the UK General Data Protection Regulation, the Data Protection Act 2018, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.

What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can store information such as your preferences, login status, or browsing behaviour. Similar technologies include web beacons, pixels, and local storage that may access or store data on your device. These tools allow websites to recognise returning visitors, remember choices, and gather data about how the site is used. Cookies do not contain personal information in themselves but can be linked to other data we hold about you.

Why the Site Uses Cookies

dailybriefry uses cookies to ensure the website functions correctly, to improve user experience, to understand visitor behaviour, and to support our commercial operations. Without cookies some features would not work, such as maintaining your session while you explore our briefing resources. Analytics cookies help us refine content delivery around newsroom planning and media workflows. We only use non-essential cookies where you have given consent in line with UK rules.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to operate. They enable core functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and basic security measures. We rely on the strict necessity exemption under PECR so no consent is required for these cookies. Disabling them would prevent the site from working properly and could block access to our daily news briefings.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember your preferences such as language settings or display options. They improve usability without tracking across other sites. Consent is obtained before these cookies are set because they are not strictly necessary. They help tailor the presentation of studio updates and workflow information to your needs.

Analytics or Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the site, including which pages are viewed most often and how long users spend on content about camera coordination or short-form reports. Data is aggregated and anonymised where possible. We obtain consent for these cookies and use the information to enhance the quality of our media delivery resources.

Advertising or Targeting Cookies

Advertising cookies track browsing habits to deliver relevant promotions about our services. They may be used to limit the number of times you see an advert. Consent is always required before these cookies are placed. We do not use them to create detailed profiles without your agreement.

Social-Media Cookies

If social media features are present, cookies from third-party platforms may be used to enable sharing or embedding. These cookies are only set after you consent. They allow interaction with external networks but are not controlled by dailybriefry.

First-Party Versus Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by dailybriefry and relate to our own domain. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services or content delivery networks. Both types are used, but third-party cookies require specific consent where they are non-essential. We list known providers in the sections below.

Session Versus Persistent Cookies

Session cookies exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Retention periods vary by category, typically between 30 days and two years depending on the purpose, such as remembering workflow preferences over multiple visits.

Data Handled and Purpose of Each Category

Necessary cookies handle basic identifiers to keep you logged in during a visit. Functional cookies store preference data like layout choices for briefing pages. Analytics cookies record usage statistics including time spent on studio updates. Advertising cookies capture interest signals for targeted messages. All data is processed only for the stated purposes and retained no longer than necessary.

Consent or Exemption Basis for Each Category

Under UK PECR, strictly necessary cookies operate under the exemption and require no consent. All other categories rely on your explicit consent obtained through our site-wide cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time. Consent records are stored securely in line with the Data Protection Act.

Cookie Providers and Details

The following providers are used. Necessary cookies from our own systems last for the session only. Analytics providers such as standard web analytics tools retain data for up to 26 months. Functional cookies from our platform expire after 12 months. Advertising partners set cookies lasting up to 13 months. Full details of each cookie name, provider, category, and duration are available upon request via the contact form on our Contacts page.

How the Consent Manager Works

Our cookie banner appears on first visit and allows you to accept all, reject non-essential, or customise choices by category. You can reopen the banner from the footer to change or withdraw consent later. Changes take effect immediately and are recorded for compliance purposes.

Browser-Level Controls

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may stop essential features from working, such as accessing protected briefing content. Deleting cookies will remove stored preferences and may require you to re-enter choices on future visits. We recommend reviewing your browser help pages for specific instructions.

International Transfers

Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs we ensure appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are in place. Further details appear in our Privacy Policy, which you can access via the site footer.

Policy Changes and Contact

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law or our practices. The current version will always be posted here with the last-updated date. If you have questions about cookies please use the contact form on our Contacts page or email [email protected]. Our address is 1 London Bridge Street, London, SE1 9GF, United Kingdom. We aim to respond within a reasonable time.

Further Information

This policy forms part of our commitment to transparency. It should be read alongside our main Privacy Policy for a complete picture of how personal data is handled. Regular review of this document helps you stay informed about the technologies supporting our news briefing services.

Practical Consequences of Cookie Choices

Accepting all cookies provides the fullest experience with personalised recommendations for media workflows. Rejecting non-essential cookies limits analytics and advertising but keeps core site functions intact. Withdrawing consent later removes related cookies from your device where technically possible.

Retention and Deletion Practices

We review cookie retention periods annually. Persistent cookies are deleted automatically at the end of their stated lifespan. You can manually clear cookies at any time through your browser, which will reset your consent choices on the next visit.
