Cookie Policy
Last updated 13 October 2026
This page lists the cookies and similar browser storage used on aviationmasters.com, grouped by category, with who sets them, why and for how long. It complements our Privacy policy.
Categories
- Necessary — always on. Sign-in, security and remembering your choices. The service cannot work without them.
- Statistics — off until you allow them. Google Analytics 4 counts visits so we can see which pages help pilots. Until you allow Statistics, the Google Analytics script is not loaded at all.
- Marketing (I confirm I'm 18 or older) — off until you tick it. Only with it ticked could ads ever be personalised; otherwise any ads are non-personalised. We show no advertising today. If we start showing Google ads, advertising cookies are only used with your consent; without it, only limited ads without cookies may be shown.

Your choice
The banner offers Accept all, Reject all and Customize with equal weight. Your choice is kept for 12 months; we then ask again, and also whenever this list changes. You can change or withdraw it at any time: open Cookie settings, also linked in the footer of every page. Withdrawing Statistics deletes the _ga cookies.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; blocking necessary cookies will stop sign-in from working.
