What cookies do
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences, understand how pages are used, and (in some cases) support advertising and affiliate tracking.
How we use them
Cookies we may set
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, measure performance, and improve your experience.
Some cookies are set by us, and others are set by trusted third parties (like analytics and advertising partners). The specific cookies can change over time as tools and vendors change.
Cookie categories
Here are the main types of cookies you may encounter on Reel Gear Guide.
Essential cookies
These help the website function (for example, security, basic page navigation, and remembering preferences). They’re generally required for the site to work properly.
Analytics cookies
These help us understand traffic and how readers use the site (for example, which pages are most popular). We use this information to improve content and site performance.
Advertising cookies
These may be used by advertising partners to show relevant ads and measure ad performance. They can also limit how often you see the same ad.
Affiliate tracking cookies
When you click an affiliate link, a cookie may be set by the merchant to attribute a purchase to our referral. This helps support the site at no extra cost to you.
Functionality cookies
These remember choices you make (like display preferences) to provide a more personalized experience.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by services embedded on the site (for example, video players, maps, or social media). Their use is governed by the third party’s policies.
