Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Orbitify ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit orbitify.top. Our blog is dedicated to film production — from cinematography and screenwriting to post‑production workflows. We are committed to transparency about your data and your privacy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the site owners. Cookies can be "session" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" (remain until they expire or you delete them).

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use three categories of cookies on Orbitify. Below we explain each category and its purpose.

Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are required for the basic operation of our website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. Without these cookies, the site cannot function properly. Examples include session cookies that remember your cookie preferences.

• Purpose: Enable page navigation, secure access, and basic site functions.
• Duration: Session or persistent (typically up to 12 months for preference cookies).
• Opt-out: Not possible without affecting site performance.

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand how visitors interact with our film production articles, tutorials, and resources. These cookies collect aggregated information such as number of visitors, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This helps us improve our content and user experience.

• Purpose: Measure traffic, analyse trends, and improve our blog.
• Data collected: Anonymised IP address, browser type, device information, page views.
• Opt-out: You can disable analytics cookies via browser settings (see Section 5).

Advertising Cookies (including Google AdSense)

To support our free film production content, we display advertisements via Google AdSense and other third‑party ad partners. Advertising cookies are used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads across the web. These cookies also measure the performance of ad campaigns (e.g., clicks, impressions).

• Purpose: Personalise ads based on your browsing behaviour; limit the number of times you see an ad; evaluate ad effectiveness.
• Partners: Google AdSense and its certified ad networks. Google may use cookies such as IDE (for ad personalisation) and ANID (for ad measurement).
• Opt-out: You can manage ad personalisation via Google’s Ad Settings or by disabling cookies in your browser (see Section 5).

For more details on how Google uses data when you consent, visit How Google uses information from sites that use Google services.

3. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third‑party services that appear on our site. For example, embedded YouTube videos (used in our film production tutorials) may set cookies from Google. Social sharing buttons may also set cookies from platforms like Twitter or LinkedIn. We do not control these cookies; please refer to the respective privacy policies of those third parties.

4. How We Use Cookies for Advertising

Advertising cookies help us deliver ads that are more relevant to you and your interests. They also help us measure the effectiveness of our ad campaigns. For example, if you read an article about lighting techniques, you might later see an ad for film equipment. This is called interest‑based advertising. Google AdSense uses cookies to:

• Show personalised ads based on your previous visits to Orbitify and other websites.
• Track whether you clicked on an ad and whether it led to a purchase or action.
• Prevent the same ad from appearing too often.

5. How to Control Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your preferences in the following ways:

Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can block or delete cookies, or set your browser to alert you when a cookie is placed. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our site. Instructions for common browsers:

• Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions.

Ad Personalisation Opt-Out

You can opt out of personalised advertising from Google by visiting Google’s Ad Settings. Additionally, you can opt out of many third‑party ad networks through the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt‑out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt‑out page.

6. Privacy Policy

For more detailed information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data, please read our Privacy Policy. It explains your rights under applicable data protection laws and how you can exercise them.

7. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
