Last Updated: May 2026
Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how the Airline Dispatchers Federation ("ADF") uses cookies and similar technologies on dispatcher.org. Our cookie usage is minimal and focused on site functionality rather than advertising or tracking.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They serve various purposes such as keeping you logged in, protecting form submissions, and enabling secure payment processing.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled.
csrftoken
A security token that protects against cross-site request forgery attacks. This cookie ensures that form submissions on our site originate from legitimate pages. It does not contain any personal information.
sessionid
Maintains your login state as you navigate the site. This cookie is set when you log in and is removed when you log out or when it expires. Without it, you would need to re-authenticate on every page.
Third-Party Cookies
Certain third-party services integrated into our site may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies, and their use is governed by each provider's own privacy policy.
Stripe
We use Stripe to process membership payments. During checkout, Stripe may set cookies on your device for fraud prevention and to ensure secure transaction processing. See Stripe's Privacy Policy for details.
Cloudflare
Our site is served through Cloudflare, which may set cookies for DDoS protection, bot detection, and performance optimization. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy for details.
Google Fonts
We load fonts from Google's servers (fonts.googleapis.com). Google may collect basic usage data such as IP addresses when fonts are requested. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
Google Places API
Our registration form uses the Google Places API to provide address autocomplete functionality. Google may collect usage data when this feature is active. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
Email Communications
We use Postmark as our email service provider. Postmark may track whether emails are delivered, opened, or bounced for the purpose of delivery optimization. This tracking is limited to email performance and is not used for advertising purposes.
What We Do Not Use
We want to be clear about what our site does not do:
- We do not use advertising cookies or serve targeted ads.
- We do not use social media tracking pixels.
- We do not use Google Analytics or any similar analytics platform.
- We do not sell or share cookie data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Managing Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, though doing so may affect your ability to log in or complete transactions on our site. Essential cookies (csrftoken and sessionid) are required for basic site functionality.
