Cookie Policy

Effective date: 1 June 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Flying Tin (“we”, “us”, or “our”), operated by Laguna Media, uses cookies and similar technologies on www.flyingtin.com (the “Site”). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.

This policy should be read together with our [Privacy Policy](https://www.flyingtin.com/privacy-policy/), which explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them more efficient, and to provide information to the site owner. Cookies set by the site you are visiting are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by anyone other than the owner of the site are called “third-party cookies”, these enable third-party features or functionality, such as advertising, analytics, and embedded media.

We also use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage, which work in much the same way. References to “cookies” in this policy include these technologies.

Why we use cookies

We use cookies for several reasons:

  • to make the Site function correctly and securely
  • to remember your settings and preferences
  • to understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it
  • to display and measure advertising, including through Google AdSense

The types of cookies we use

We group the cookies on our Site into the following categories.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling in forms, or adding items to your cart in our shop. They do not store any directly identifiable personal information. Without these cookies, parts of the Site will not work.

Examples on our Site include session cookies, security cookies, and the cookies used by our WooCommerce shop to maintain your cart and checkout.

Statistics and analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting and reporting information anonymously or pseudonymously — for example, which pages are most popular, how visitors move through the Site, and where traffic comes from. This helps us measure and improve the Site’s performance.

We use Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) for this purpose. You can read about how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Marketing and advertising cookies

Our Site displays advertising, primarily through Google AdSense. These cookies are used by us and our advertising partners to deliver advertisements, to make them more relevant to your interests, to limit how often you see an ad, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. The information collected may be shared with third-party advertising providers and used to show you ads on other websites.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our Site. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to our Site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and you can find out more about how Google uses information from partner sites at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info and www.youronlinechoices.eu.

Functional cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as embedded videos and content shared from social media platforms. For example, content we embed from YouTube, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), or LinkedIn may set its own cookies. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of this content may not work properly.

Preferences cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make — such as your language or region — to provide a more personal and convenient experience on return visits.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies on our Site are placed by third parties that provide services to us or features on our pages. These third parties set their own cookies and process data according to their own privacy policies, over which we have limited control. The main third parties whose cookies you may encounter on our Site include:

  • Google (AdSense, Analytics, Site Kit) — advertising and analytics
  • YouTube — embedded video
  • Facebook, X, LinkedIn — embedded posts and social sharing

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of these third parties to understand how they use your data.

When you first visit our Site, you will be shown a cookie consent banner. Non-essential cookies (statistics, marketing, functional, and preferences) are only placed once you have given your consent. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent because the Site cannot function without them.

Your consent applies to the domain www.flyingtin.com.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the cookie settings link on our Site to reopen the consent banner and update your preferences.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser; please refer to your browser’s help section. Note that if you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Site may not function correctly.

To learn more about managing and deleting cookies generally, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
