1. What this policy covers

This page explains the cookies and similar technologies currently used across FPV School properties, and the practical controls available today.

2. Our current approach

At the time of this update, FPV School primarily uses cookies and similar technologies for service integrity rather than advertising or behavioural tracking.

That means our current live setup is mainly focused on:

• authentication and session continuity for signed-in services;
• Cloudflare security and abuse prevention;
• short-lived technical state needed to keep access-controlled features working; and
• privacy-focused measurement on supported public domains without analytics cookies.

3. Cookies and similar technologies we currently rely on

3.1 Essential authentication cookies

Signed-in FPV School services can use authentication/session cookies issued by our auth stack. These cookies are needed to keep you signed in securely, maintain session state, and protect sensitive actions.

3.2 Security and anti-abuse cookies

Cloudflare may set security cookies or related challenge state, including cookies used for bot management, abuse prevention, or access validation.

3.3 Similar technologies

Some properties may also use local storage, session storage, or equivalent browser-side state for product functionality, UI preferences, or temporary workflow continuity.

4. Analytics and measurement

FPV School uses a self-hosted, privacy-focused analytics script on supported public domains to understand aggregated traffic and improve reliability and content.

Our current analytics implementation is designed not to set analytics cookies. On fpvschool.com, logged-in users are excluded from that public analytics script.

If you dismiss our notice bar, that acknowledgement is stored in your browser (local storage). That record is separate from authentication cookies and does not by itself change which essential cookies are required for the service to work.

We do not currently describe this analytics setup as a personalised advertising system, cross-site tracking system, or marketing-cookie program.

5. Cookie notice

On supported public FPV School properties we show a short notice bar at the bottom of the page, dismissed with a single OK.

It is a notice rather than a consent gate, because there is nothing optional for you to switch off: our measurement setup sets no analytics cookies and writes nothing else to your device, and the only cookies we rely on are the essential ones described in section 3.

Dismissing the notice records only that you have seen it, in your browser local storage under the key fpvschool_cookie_consent. That record is separate from authentication cookies and does not by itself change which essential cookies are required for the service to work. Clearing our site data in your browser removes it, and the notice appears again.

Essential authentication, security, and access-control cookies can still be used where the service requires them.

If we later introduce analytics cookies, cross-site tracking, advertising technologies, or any other non-essential storage, we will replace this notice with a consent control that lets you accept or reject those categories, and we will update this policy before doing so.

6. Third-party services and embedded content

Some FPV School properties may link to or embed third-party services. If you actively interact with those third-party services, they may use their own cookies or similar technologies under their own notices and controls.

We do not currently control third-party cookie behaviour once you move into or interact with an external service.

7. Your practical controls today

Your current controls mainly include:

• clearing our site data in your browser, which removes the fpvschool_cookie_consent entry and makes the notice appear again;
• browser settings to delete or block cookies and site data, including local storage entries such as fpvschool_cookie_consent;
• device or browser privacy settings that limit storage or site data;
• logging out of signed-in services when you no longer need them; and
• avoiding public/shared or third-party features you do not want to use.

Blocking essential cookies may break login, account access, cloud deliveries, library access, and other gated features.

8. Retention

Cookie duration depends on the provider and purpose. Some cookies are session-only, while others can persist for a limited time where required for security or authentication continuity.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if our technology stack, analytics setup, providers, or consent tooling changes. We will update the "Last updated" date when we do.
