Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Airplane Fly Advisory Pty Ltd ("Airplane Fly", "we", "us") uses cookies, local storage and similar technologies when you visit airplanefly.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember preferences and provide aggregated usage information to site owners.

We also use local storage — a browser-based storage mechanism similar to cookies — to remember your cookie consent choice so the consent banner does not appear on every visit.

References to "cookies" in this policy include cookies, local storage entries and comparable tracking technologies unless stated otherwise.

2. Why we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Ensure the website operates correctly and securely;
• Remember your cookie consent preferences;
• Understand how visitors navigate our editorial and advisory pages;
• Improve content structure, performance and accessibility over time.

We do not use cookies to serve targeted advertising, build cross-site behavioural profiles or sell data to data brokers.

3. Types of cookies we use

3.1 Strictly necessary / essential

These technologies are required for core website functionality. They cannot be switched off through our cookie banner because the site would not operate as intended without them.

• Cookie consent record — stores your choice ("essential only" or "accept all") so we do not repeat the consent prompt on every page load.
• Session stability — may include basic technical identifiers required by hosting infrastructure to deliver pages securely.

3.2 Analytics (optional)

If you select "Accept all" in our cookie banner, we may enable privacy-respecting analytics that help us understand:

• Which pages are visited and for how long;
• General geographic region (country/state level, not precise location);
• Device type, browser and screen size categories;
• Referral source (e.g. search engine or direct visit).

Analytics data is aggregated and does not intentionally identify you by name or email. If you choose "Essential only", analytics cookies are not activated.

3.3 Third-party service cookies

Some features rely on third-party services that may set their own cookies or collect technical data:

• Google Fonts — we load typography from Google Fonts CDN. Google may log IP address and technical request data. See Google's privacy documentation for details.
• CDN libraries — animation and scroll libraries (such as Lenis or GSAP) may be loaded from public CDNs. These are generally script resources; cookie impact is minimal but network requests occur.

We do not permit advertising networks, social media pixels or remarketing tags on airplanefly.com.

4. Cookie and storage summary

The following table summarises key technologies used on our website:

• aff_cookies (local storage) — Purpose: stores consent choice (essential / accept all). Duration: until you clear browser site data. Provider: Airplane Fly.
• Analytics identifiers (if consented) — Purpose: aggregated visit statistics. Duration: typically up to 26 months depending on configuration. Provider: analytics service provider.
• Google Fonts requests — Purpose: font delivery. Duration: session / provider-defined. Provider: Google.

Exact cookie names and durations may change as we update website infrastructure. Material changes will be reflected in this policy.

5. Legal basis and consent

Under Australian privacy law and consistent with international best practice, we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

When you first visit airplanefly.com, a banner presents two options:

• Essential only — only necessary cookies and local storage for consent recording are used;
• Accept all — essential cookies plus optional analytics cookies are permitted.

You may change your choice at any time by clearing site data in your browser and revisiting the website, or by contacting us at [email protected].

6. How to manage cookies in your browser

Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through settings. Instructions vary by browser:

• Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data;
• Safari (macOS/iOS) — Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data;
• Mozilla Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data;
• Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions.

Blocking all cookies may prevent the consent banner from remembering your choice and could affect certain site features. Blocking third-party cookies alone generally does not prevent site operation.

To remove local storage for airplanefly.com, use your browser's "Clear site data" or equivalent function for this domain.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We do not alter our practices solely in response to DNT headers, but you may use our cookie banner and browser controls to limit tracking as described above.

8. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements or our website practices. The "Last updated" date will be revised when changes are published. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
