How HelicopterTours.org may use cookies and similar technologies for necessary functions, preferences, measurement, and affiliate attribution.
Last updated: August 24, 2026
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored by a browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, tags, and identifiers placed in or read from a device. They can support a single visit, remember a preference, measure how a website is used, protect a service, or attribute a referral.
The exact technologies present can change when WordPress, hosting, security, analytics, consent, or affiliate tools are added, removed, or reconfigured. The site operator should keep the public consent interface and this policy aligned with the technologies actually deployed.
Categories the website may use
Category
Purpose
Typical status
Strictly necessary
Page delivery, security, load balancing, consent records, and WordPress administration for signed-in users.
Usually active because the requested service cannot operate reliably without them.
Preferences
Remember choices such as consent state, display settings, or language.
May require consent when not essential to a requested feature.
Analytics and performance
Measure visits, navigation, errors, and aggregate content performance.
Consent is required in many jurisdictions unless a narrow exemption applies.
Affiliate attribution
Record that an outbound link or qualifying booking was referred by Helicopter Tours.
May be set by the destination platform after a click and may require consent depending on implementation and law.
Advertising or cross-site tracking
Build profiles, personalize ads, or measure activity across services.
Should remain off until valid consent where used and legally required.
Affiliate links and third-party cookies
A tour link may contain a referral parameter even when no cookie is stored by Helicopter Tours. When you click the link, the destination website may set its own cookies or use another identifier under its privacy and cookie policies. That activity occurs on the third-party service and is not controlled by this policy.
Read our Affiliate Disclosure for the commercial relationship and the third party’s policy for its technology and retention details.
How to control cookies
When a consent banner or settings panel is displayed, use it to accept, reject, or change nonessential categories. Rejecting nonessential cookies should be as accessible as accepting them where the law requires that choice. Withdrawing consent affects future use and does not make earlier consent-based processing unlawful.
You can also clear or block cookies in your browser. Blocking strictly necessary storage can cause parts of the website to stop working. Browser privacy signals, including Global Privacy Control, may communicate an opt-out preference. Whether a signal applies depends on the technology and governing law.
Cookie duration varies. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain until their configured expiry or until removed. A consent tool or provider-specific list, when displayed, should identify current cookie names, providers, purposes, and expiry periods.
Changes
This policy may be updated when site technology or legal requirements change. Check the date at the top for the current version. See the Privacy Policy for broader information about personal information and rights.
