Cookie Policy
The short version
We only use one non-essential tool — Google Analytics — and it never loads until you say yes. When you first visit, you'll see a banner with two equal buttons: Accept and Decline. Nothing analytics-related runs before you click Accept. If you click Decline (or close the banner without choosing), no analytics loads, period — and you can change your mind anytime via the "Cookie settings" link that stays visible afterward.
What we actually use
The FlightDesk AI application (app.flightdeskai.org)
When you log in, the application keeps you signed in using browser local storage (not a cookie) to hold your session securely. This is:
- Strictly necessary — without it, you'd have to log in again on every page. Under the ePrivacy rules that govern cookies and similar technologies, storage that is strictly necessary to provide a service you've actively requested (staying logged in) does not require consent, the same way a login cookie wouldn't.
- Not used for tracking. It holds your session token, not browsing history, advertising identifiers, or behavioral data.
- Cleared when you log out, or when the session naturally expires.
The marketing website (flightdeskai.org)
The marketing site uses two things, both explained here:
- A small piece of local storage to remember your cookie choice (Accept or Decline). This is strictly necessary for the consent mechanism itself to work — without it, you'd see the banner on every single page instead of once. It stores only your choice, nothing about your browsing.
- Google Analytics (GA4) — only if you click Accept. It helps us understand which pages people actually read and where visitors come from, so we can improve the site. It is not loaded by default: the script only appears in your browser after you explicitly accept, and it stops immediately if you later decline via "Cookie settings". We don't use it for advertising, and we don't sell or share the data it collects with anyone outside Google's standard analytics processing.
There is no advertising pixel, no chat-widget tracking script, and no other third-party tool on the marketing site beyond Google Analytics.
If this changes
If we add any further non-essential tracking in the future, we will:
- Update this policy to name the specific tool, what it collects, and why
- Extend the same consent banner to cover it — not a pre-ticked box, and not a banner that only offers "accept"
- Only activate it after you've actively consented, not before
Your browser controls
You can control local storage and cookies through your browser settings at any time — clearing them will log you out of FlightDesk AI (if you're signed in) and reset your cookie choice on the marketing site, so the banner will show again on your next visit.
