GimbalForMirrorlessCamera.com uses cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality, analyze visitor behavior, enhance user experience, and support the operation of various website features. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how they are used on the site, the types of cookies implemented, and how users can manage or restrict cookie behavior based on their preferences.

The use of cookies forms part of the broader digital infrastructure governed by the policies and practices of PhotoMedia.Digital, the parent company of this platform.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on a user’s device when visiting a website. They serve various purposes, such as remembering preferences, recognizing returning users, monitoring traffic patterns, and supporting analytics or marketing efforts. Cookies can be categorized as either first-party (set by the website being visited) or third-party (set by other services integrated into the site).

Cookies are not used to identify users personally. Instead, they provide anonymized data that improves how the website functions, loads content, delivers media, or recalls prior settings for more consistent access.

Why Cookies Are Used

The use of cookies on GimbalForMirrorlessCamera.com supports multiple goals:

• Ensure essential features like navigation, form submission, and load balancing work correctly
• Collect analytics about how users browse, where they exit, and which pages perform best
• Retain user settings such as font size preferences or regional filters (if applicable)
• Track performance of affiliate links and product referrals
• Facilitate content delivery via embedded third-party platforms (video, surveys, etc.)
• Support compliance obligations related to global data privacy regulations
• Help improve editorial decision-making through anonymized behavioral insights

No personally identifiable information is stored within cookies. However, some cookies, particularly those from third-party platforms, may interact with broader datasets that collect user information in line with their respective policies.

Without these cookies, certain site features may not perform as intended.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect information about user behavior and technical performance. Metrics such as bounce rate, scroll depth, page load time, and referral traffic are monitored to understand what content performs well and where users might encounter frustration or delays.

These analytics may be powered by services like Google Analytics or Matomo, depending on the current platform configuration. Information collected includes:

Functionality cookies help personalize the browsing experience based on previous visits, but they are optional and do not affect essential operations.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies

As part of the Review Policy and Editorial Policy processes, GimbalForMirrorlessCamera.com occasionally includes affiliate links to products reviewed or mentioned in guides. Clicking on one of these links may place a cookie from the affiliate network that helps track any resulting purchase. This allows the site to earn a commission without affecting the buyer’s cost.

Affiliate cookies typically:

• Record that the user clicked a tracked link

• Track transaction IDs to credit commissions
• Do not store personal payment information

Affiliate relationships are disclosed throughout content. These cookies are integral to supporting operations without compromising editorial integrity.

These third-party services may set their own cookies, which are subject to their respective privacy and cookie policies. Users interacting with embedded content are advised to review these policies separately.

Cookie Duration

Cookies can be classified based on how long they remain active:

Session Cookies

These expire once the browser is closed. They store temporary data used during your visit but are not retained afterward.

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device for a defined period, even after the session ends. They help retain login credentials (if used), user preferences, or affiliate tracking data.

Each cookie has its own expiration timeframe, ranging from minutes to several months, depending on its purpose.
