Cookie Policy

What Cookies Are

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Cookies let sites remember your preferences, measure usage, and (in the case of advertising cookies) help fund free content by supporting relevant ads. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, and device identifiers; in this policy "cookies" covers all of them.

Cookie Categories Used on This Site

Strictly Necessary

wplane.com is a static, read-only website, so there are no login sessions or shopping carts. No strictly necessary cookies are set for core functionality.

Analytics Cookies

Google Analytics sets cookies that generate a pseudonymous identifier so it can distinguish between repeat visits and new visits, and measure how people use the site at an aggregate level. Typical cookies include:

• _ga — used to distinguish users; expires about 2 years after being set or updated.
• _ga_<container-id> — used to persist session state; expires about 2 years after being set or updated.
• _gid — used to distinguish users; expires 24 hours after being set (used in some configurations).

Analytics data is used only in aggregated form for understanding traffic patterns and improving content.

Advertising Cookies

Google AdSense and its advertising partners may set cookies to serve ads, measure ad performance, and (where permitted) personalize advertising. Typical cookies in this category include:

• NID, IDE, ANID — set by Google and used for ad serving and measurement.
• __gads, __gpi — set by Google AdSense to measure ad interactions and frequency.
• Other cookies set by partner ad networks participating in a given auction.

If you have opted out of personalized advertising (see below) advertising cookies will still be used to serve non-personalized, contextual ads and to cap frequency.

How to Control Cookies

Opt out of personalized advertising

• Google Ad Settings — manage personalization across Google services.
• YourOnlineChoices (EU/UK) — opt out of personalized advertising from participating networks.
• Digital Advertising Alliance (US) — opt out of interest-based advertising.
• AdChoices (Canada) — opt out for Canadian residents.

Opt out of Google Analytics

Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or block analytics cookies in your browser settings.

Browser settings

All modern browsers let you block, delete, or be warned about cookies. Blocking all cookies may affect other sites you use. For step-by-step instructions, consult your browser's help pages:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Do Not Track

Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no industry-wide standard for how sites should respond, so wplane.com does not currently change behavior based on this signal. Use the opt-out tools above to limit tracking.

Third Parties That May Set Cookies

• Google LLC — for Google Analytics and Google AdSense. See Google's cookie documentation and advertising policies.
• Ad network partners — companies that purchase ad inventory through Google AdSense. The specific networks vary by auction; privacy information for each is accessible through the ad choices icon on the ad itself.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as the cookies in use evolve or when legal requirements change. The "Last reviewed" date reflects the most recent revision.
