Cookie policy
Last updated 9 October 2026
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This page explains which ones Flying Engineer uses. We keep them to a minimum, and anything beyond the essentials needs your consent.
Essential (always on)
- Login session: keeps you signed in to your account and dashboard (Supabase).
- Your cookie choice: remembers whether you accepted or declined cookies, so we don't ask again.
- Security: protects the site and payment pages against abuse (Vercel, Stripe).
Visit statistics without cookies
We count visits with Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, which work without cookies and without identifying you.
Analytics (only with consent)
Google Analytics helps us see which pages are useful. Until you accept, it runs in a cookieless mode that sends no identifiers. If you accept, it sets cookies named _ga and _ga_* that last up to two years.
Advertising measurement (only with consent)
The Meta Pixel loads only after you accept. It measures whether our adverts on Facebook and Instagram reach the right people, and may set cookies such as _fbp for up to three months.
Changing your mind
You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's cookies and data in your browser; the banner will then ask again. You can also block cookies in your browser settings, though signing in needs the essential ones.
