Cookies help us keep Winairlines working properly and understand how the site is used. This policy explains the types of cookies our website may store, why we use them and the choices available to you.
How our website remembers you
We use browser storage to preserve essential site functions and remember choices you make. This can include keeping you signed in, maintaining the state of a form or saving preferences such as your language and cookie settings. These functions support the basic operation of the site and do not depend on advertising profiles.
Some information is stored on your device rather than sent to us each time you open a page. If you switch browser or device, some settings may need to be entered again. Clearing your browser data removes stored information, although our server-side records of an account remain unaffected.
Cookies used across the site
Our site separates cookies by purpose so that optional features do not interfere with the pages you visit.
| Category | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Supports security, account access, form handling and other core functions. | Always active |
| Analytics | Helps us understand page visits, navigation patterns and possible technical problems. | Subject to consent |
| Marketing and advertising | Supports campaign measurement and prevents advertising appearing across unrelated sites. | Subject to consent |
| Preferences | Remembers choices such as language, display settings and consent decisions. | Subject to consent where required |
The analytics question
Analytics cookies tell us which pages are useful, where visitors encounter an error and which sections need improvement. We use aggregated usage information for those purposes rather than building a personal description of every visit.
Where analytics requires consent, it stays inactive until you allow it. Accepting analytics can help us identify slow pages and broken links; declining it does not prevent you from reading the site or using its core functions.
Third-party scripts and embedded content
Some pages may load content or services from external providers. These can include advertising technology, analytics, embedded maps, payment interfaces, social media elements or customer-support widgets. The third party receives information through your browser when the embedded element loads, and its own privacy practices then apply.
We do not control information stored by those providers or the purposes for which they use it. We limit external elements to the services needed for a page to work and do not give permission for them to place advertising cookies unless you have consented.
Managing cookies in your browser
You can review, block or delete cookies through your browser settings. The controls are usually found under Privacy, Security, Site settings or a similar menu.
- In Chrome, open Privacy and security, then choose Third-party cookies.
- In Firefox, open Privacy & Security and find the Cookies section under Website permissions.
- In Safari, select Privacy & Security and use Manage Website Data.
- In Edge, open Privacy, search services and permissions, then choose Cookies and site data.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies can prevent sign-in, security checks and other core functions from working. If you decline optional cookies, parts of the site may remain less personalised, but you should still be able to browse the main pages.
Changing your consent
Your cookie choice should be changeable after your first visit. Look for the cookie settings control in the footer of the site and use it to accept, reject or withdraw permission for each optional category. Browser deletion also removes the stored preference, allowing our consent banner to ask again on your next visit.
We may need to treat a browser or device as blocked when signals indicate that automated or fraudulent activity is taking place. Our cookie policy remains unchanged by that technical decision.
Updates to this policy
We review this cookie policy when our site, service providers or legal obligations change. Any revised version will be published on this page with an updated date. We do not apply new categories of optional cookies before obtaining the consent required for them.
