Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Flynaut LLC (“Flynaut,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, www.flynaut.com (the “Site”). It describes what cookies are, why we use them, which specific cookies are active on our Site, how you can manage your cookie preferences, and your rights under applicable privacy laws.

We believe in transparency. You have the right to know exactly what data is collected through cookies, who collects it, and how it is used. This policy is designed to give you that information in clear, straightforward language.

By using our Site, you acknowledge that you have read this Cookie Policy. Where required by law, we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other internet-connected device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide analytics data to website operators, and deliver a better user experience.

Cookies serve several functions:

• Session management: keeping you logged in, remembering form inputs, maintaining your session state
• Personalization: remembering your preferences, language settings, or region
• Analytics: understanding how visitors navigate the site, which pages are most popular, and where users experience errors
• Marketing: tracking visitor activity across websites to display relevant content or measure advertising effectiveness

Cookies can be “session cookies” (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent cookies” (stored on your device for a set period or until you delete them). Cookies can be “first-party” (set by the website you are visiting) or “third-party” (set by a service other than the website you are visiting).

3. Who Controls the Cookies on This Website

This Site is operated by Flynaut LLC, a technology services company incorporated in the State of Michigan, United States. We are the data controller for cookies placed directly by us (first-party cookies).

Some cookies on this Site are placed by third-party services that we have integrated into our website. These third parties process cookie data according to their own privacy policies, which are linked in the cookie table below. Flynaut has contractual relationships with these providers that include data protection obligations.

Our principal place of business is in Michigan, United States. For data protection inquiries, contact us at [email protected].

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

We classify cookies into four categories based on their purpose. This classification follows the framework recommended by the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP).

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the basic functionality of our website. Without them, the website cannot operate properly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, form submission, and security protections. Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent and are always active.

4.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and used solely for analytical purposes.

We use two analytics platforms: Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and HubSpot Analytics. Both are configured to anonymize IP addresses and do not collect personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily submit it through a form.

4.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization on our website. If you do not allow these cookies, some enhanced features may not function properly.

4.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies

As of the effective date of this policy, Flynaut does not use marketing or targeting cookies on this website. We do not participate in third-party advertising networks, do not serve display advertisements, and do not use retargeting pixels.

5. Specific Cookies Active on This Website

6. Similar Technologies

• Pixels and Beacons: We do not currently use tracking pixels or web beacons.
• Fingerprinting: We do not use browser or device fingerprinting techniques.

7. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences

7.1 Through Our Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear allowing you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking “Cookie Settings” in the footer.

7.2 Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can view, delete, block, or configure cookie alerts in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge settings.

7.3 Opt-Out Links for Third-Party Analytics

• Google Analytics: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
• HubSpot: Decline analytics cookies in our consent banner
• All third-party analytics: Use the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page

8. Do Not Track Signals

We currently do not alter our tracking practices in response to DNT signals, as there is no universally accepted standard. However, we fully honor your cookie consent preferences set through our consent banner.

9. Global Privacy Control (GPC)

When we detect a GPC signal from your browser, we treat it as a valid opt-out request. Since we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, we will not set analytics or marketing cookies without your affirmative consent.

10. Rights of California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)

California residents have the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell your personal information. To exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 45 days.

11. Rights of EU/UK Residents (GDPR / ePrivacy)

EU/UK residents have the right to withdraw consent, access data, request rectification or erasure, restrict processing, data portability, object to processing, and lodge complaints with data protection authorities. Contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

12. Third-Party Cookie Policies

13. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected].
