Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 27, 2026

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Aviation Expert GPT, a service provided by ZEXOR DIGITAL, LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our websites, use our web applications, or interact with our digital services (collectively, the "Services").

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which provide additional details about how we collect, use, and protect your information.

We set only strictly necessary cookies unless you opt in. Nothing optional is set until you choose to allow it in our cookie banner, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time from Cookie preferences at the bottom of every page, from the Cookie settings button on this page, or from Settings β†’ Cookie settings in your account.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They allow a website to remember information about your visit.

Similar Technologies we use include:

  • Local Storage: Data stored locally in your browser that persists between sessions
  • Session Storage: Temporary data storage that is cleared when you close the browser tab
  • Pixels: Small pieces of code from an advertising provider (the Meta Pixel) that report a visit to that provider β€” only if you allow marketing cookies
  • Server Logs: Files that record requests made to our servers

We do not use fingerprinting techniques.

The same rules apply to all of these: anything that is not strictly necessary is only used if you allow its category.

Types of Cookies We Use

We group cookies and similar storage into three categories. Our cookie banner, run by our consent-management provider CookieHub, asks you about the two optional ones.

1. Strictly Necessary (always on) These are essential for our Services to work and cannot be switched off. They:

  • keep you signed in and protect sign-in and forms against misuse (CSRF protection, bot checks);
  • remember your cookie choice;
  • remember display settings you choose yourself, such as dark mode, language, a map style, or which dashboard cards you show. These settings are stored only in your browser and are never used to track you.

2. Analytics (optional β€” only if you allow it) These help us understand how our Services are used and fix problems: Google Analytics, PostHog product analytics, and Sentry session replay (recordings of sessions in which an error occurred, with all text and inputs masked).

3. Marketing (optional β€” only if you allow it) These measure the effectiveness of our advertising: the Meta Pixel and Google Ads conversion tracking. They tell us which of our advertisements led to a sign-up or a purchase. Meta and Google receive this data under their own privacy policies and may use it to measure and target advertising. We do not show advertisements on our Services.

By Duration:

Session Cookies: Deleted when you close your browser Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted

Specific Cookies We Use

The tables below list what our Services actually set. A * in a name stands for an identifier, such as a project key or a record ID. Durations are maximums; browsers cap cookie lifetimes at 400 days.

Third-Party Services

CookieHub (always on)

  • Purpose: shows the cookie banner and keeps proof of your choice
  • Data collected: your cookie choice, a consent ID, an anonymized IP address, browser details, the page URL, your country and a timestamp, stored within the European Economic Area
  • Privacy Policy: CookieHub Privacy Policy

Google Analytics and Google Ads (only with your consent)

  • Google's tag is not loaded until you allow Analytics or Marketing, so nothing is sent to Google before you choose. With Marketing only, Google Analytics stays switched off and only Google Ads conversion measurement runs.
  • Data collected: pages visited, browser and device details, approximate location, and (with Marketing) whether a visit that followed a Google ad led to a sign-up or purchase
  • Privacy Policy: Google Privacy Policy
  • Opt-out: Google Analytics Opt-out

Meta Pixel (only if you allow Marketing)

  • Purpose: ad attribution β€” measuring which Meta ads led to a sign-up or purchase
  • Data collected: pages visited, your IP address, browser details, and the identifiers in the cookies above
  • Privacy Policy: Meta Privacy Policy

PostHog (only if you allow Analytics)

  • Purpose: Product analytics β€” understanding which features are used, where people get stuck, and how the product performs for real users
  • Data collected: Page views, clicks and other interactions, feature usage, and your account identifier once you sign in. We do not send PostHog your name or email address.
  • If you decline analytics cookies, or have not answered the banner, your browser sends nothing to PostHog and PostHog stores nothing on your device.
  • Privacy Policy: PostHog Privacy Policy

Sentry session replay (only if you allow Analytics)

  • Purpose: seeing what happened on screen when an error occurred, so we can fix it. Only sessions in which an error occurs are sent, with all text and inputs masked, and never on sign-in pages.
  • Privacy Policy: Sentry Privacy Policy

Vercel Web Analytics (always on, cookieless)

  • Purpose: aggregate page-view statistics
  • It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, and it does not identify you
  • Privacy Policy: Vercel Privacy Policy

Note: Third-party cookies are subject to the respective third party's privacy policy and cookie practices.

Managing Your Cookies

Your Consent Choices:

Opt-in: Optional cookies are off until you allow them. When you first visit, our cookie banner asks for your choice; you can allow all, deny all, or choose category by category.

Consent Withdrawal: You can withdraw your consent for optional cookies at any time, as easily as you gave it, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Scripts already running on the open page are switched off, and they are not loaded again on the next page.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences:

1. Cookie Preference Center Open it at any time from Cookie preferences at the bottom of every page, from the Cookie settings button at the top of this page, or from Settings β†’ Cookie settings in your account. There you can:

  • View all cookie categories and their purposes
  • Allow or deny the optional categories
  • Change your choice at any time
  • View the cookies in each category

If the preference center does not open (for example because a browser extension blocks it), no optional cookie is set, and you can still use your browser settings below.

2. Browser Settings Most browsers allow you to:

  • View and delete existing cookies
  • Block all cookies or only third-party cookies
  • Set preferences for specific websites
  • Receive notifications when cookies are set

Common Browser Cookie Settings:

  • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data
  • Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

3. Global Privacy Control (GPC) and Do Not Track If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, our cookie tool treats Analytics and Marketing as refused. We do not sell your personal information.
