1Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how the IVAO United Kingdom & Ireland Division ("XU Division", "we") uses cookies and similar browser storage on this website. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2What are cookies
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember things between requests - such as keeping you signed in. "Local storage" is a related browser technology that holds small preferences on your device. We use both only for the limited purposes below.
3Cookies & storage we use
The table below lists what we store and why. We do not use analytics, advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Stored as | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Essential | Keeps you signed in and maintains your session as you move between pages | Cookie | Session / until you sign out |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Essential | Protects forms and requests against cross-site request forgery | Cookie | Session |
| xu-cookie-consent | Functional | Remembers your cookie choice so the notice does not reappear | Local storage | Until you clear your browser storage |
| Theme preference | Functional | Remembers your light or dark appearance preference | Local storage | Until you clear your browser storage |
4Scope & domains
This policy applies to the division website at xu.ivao.aero and to any subdomain under it - for example training.xu.ivao.aero or any other *.xu.ivao.aero service. The cookies and storage described here may be set on the division domain so that essential functions such as your sign-in session work consistently across these sites.
5Third-party cookies
6Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies and clear local storage through your browser settings. Please note that the cookies marked Essential are required for the site to work - if you block them, you may not be able to sign in or use core features.
7Your consent
When you first visit, we show a short cookie notice. Essential cookies are always used because the site cannot function without them; your acknowledgement of the notice is remembered so it does not reappear on every visit.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision.
