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.
Your cookie preference choice is stored in your browser (local storage) when you use our consent banner. 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 consent banner and preferences
On supported public FPV School properties we show a bottom cookie consent banner with two choices:
- Essential only - records that you want to rely on essential cookies and similar technologies needed for sign-in, security, and service integrity; and
- Accept all - records that you also accept our current privacy-focused measurement setup on that property.
Either choice is stored locally in your browser under the key fpvschool_cookie_consent. Essential authentication, security, and access-control cookies can still be used where the service requires them.
You can reopen the banner at any time using Cookie preferences in the site footer or on legal pages. That control clears your saved choice and lets you decide again.
If we later introduce additional non-essential cookie categories or materially change our consent tooling, we will update this policy and the relevant implementation.
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 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:
- Cookie preferences in the site footer or legal-page footer to reopen the consent banner and change your saved choice;
- 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.
