Cookie Policy
Last reviewed: 2026-05-04
The cookies and similar technologies that AirTime Connect sets when you visit airtimeconnect.com.
1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device — your computer, phone, or tablet — when you visit it. Cookies let the site remember things about your visit, such as your language preference or whether you have completed a form. Modern websites also use similar technologies (web beacons, pixels, local storage, fingerprinting signals) that work much like cookies but store data differently. In this Policy, "cookie" refers to all of these unless we specify otherwise.
Cookies are categorized in three useful ways:
- By duration: session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies stay on your device until they expire or you delete them.
- By origin: first-party cookies are set by the site you are visiting (airtimeconnect.com); third-party cookies are set by another domain when its content is loaded into the page (for example, Google's reCAPTCHA or Google Analytics).
- By purpose: strictly necessary cookies make the site work; functional cookies remember preferences; analytics cookies measure how the site is used; advertising cookies build profiles for targeted ads.
2. The cookies and similar technologies the Site sets
Below is the list of cookies and similar technologies set when you visit airtimeconnect.com, as of the "Last reviewed" date at the top of this Policy.
2.1 Strictly necessary
These cookies are required for the Site to function. They cannot be turned off without breaking the Site.
Strictly necessary cookies are exempt from prior consent under Article 5(3) of the EU ePrivacy Directive but are disclosed here for transparency.
| Cookie | Set by | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
SESSION_ATC |
airtimeconnect.com (first-party) | Session | Browser session (deleted when the browser closes) | Maintains your session if you log in. SameSite=Lax, Secure (HTTPS only). |
AWSALB |
airtimeconnect.com (first-party, via AWS Application Load Balancer) | Persistent | 7 days | Maintains session stickiness so your requests reach the same backend server during a session. Set in production environments hosted behind AWS ALB with stickiness enabled. |
AWSALBCORS |
airtimeconnect.com (first-party, via AWS Application Load Balancer) | Persistent | 7 days | Same purpose as AWSALB, used for cross-origin (CORS) requests. |
2.2 Functional / preference
These cookies remember choices you make so the Site behaves the way you expect.
| Cookie | Set by | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
business_type |
airtimeconnect.com (first-party) | Persistent | ~30 days | Remembers whether you indicated interest as an airline or an agency — used by the landing page to route you to relevant content. |
flight_selected |
airtimeconnect.com (first-party) | Persistent | ~30 days | Used by the booking flow to remember a selected flight while you complete a request. |
code |
airtimeconnect.com (first-party) | Persistent | ~30 days | Remembers your organization code on the login page so you do not need to retype it on subsequent visits. Set when you submit the login form. |
pnr |
airtimeconnect.com (first-party) | Session | Browser session | Carries the selected booking reference (PNR) between authenticated booking pages. Set only after you log into the ATC Platform; the public landing pages do not set this cookie. |
2.3 Analytics
These cookies let us understand how the Site is used. We use Google Analytics 4.
| Cookie | Set by | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
google-analytics.com (third-party, via Google) | Persistent | 2 years | Distinguishes unique visitors. |
_ga_<container-id> |
google-analytics.com (third-party, via Google) | Persistent | 2 years | Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4. |
The data Google Analytics collects is governed by Google's privacy policy. California's CPRA characterizes the use of Google Analytics with cookie identifiers as "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out using the controls in §3 below.
2.4 Anti-spam / fraud prevention
| Cookie | Set by | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_GRECAPTCHA |
google.com (third-party, via Google reCAPTCHA) | Persistent | 6 months | Provides Google reCAPTCHA bot-protection on the demo-request form. Required to submit the form. |
| Additional reCAPTCHA signals | google.com (third-party, via Google) | Various | Various | reCAPTCHA evaluates mouse movement, browser, IP, and behavioral signals to determine whether you are a human or a bot. See Google's privacy policy. |
2.5 Advertising
We do not set advertising cookies on the public Site at this time.
If we add advertising cookies in the future (for example, retargeting pixels for LinkedIn or Google Ads campaigns), we will update this Policy and obtain consent where required.
3. Managing cookies
3.1 Cookie banner
A cookie banner appears at the bottom of the Site on your first visit. From it you can:
- Accept All — consent to all four categories (Strictly Necessary, Functional, Analytics, Advertising).
- Reject All — only Strictly Necessary cookies are set; Functional, Analytics, and Advertising are off.
- Cookie Settings — open a modal where you can grant or withdraw consent per category independently.
Your choice is stored in a first-party cookie called atc_cookie_consent for 12 months, then we ask again. To change your choice at any time, click Cookie Settings in the footer of any page on the Site.
Strictly necessary cookies (§2.1) are exempt from consent requirements and are set regardless of your choice. They cannot be turned off without breaking the Site.
3.2 Browser controls
All major browsers let you view, accept, reject, and delete cookies. Documentation:
If you block all cookies, parts of the Site may not work — the demo form, in particular, will not submit because reCAPTCHA cannot run.
3.3 Global Privacy Control
We honor a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser as a valid opt-out of "sharing" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California CPRA, Colorado CPA, and Connecticut CTDPA. The opt-out applies to the Analytics and Advertising categories described in §2; Strictly Necessary cookies remain in place.
3.4 Opt out directly with Google Analytics
You can install Google's browser opt-out add-on to disable Google Analytics on every site you visit.
3.5 Opt out of reCAPTCHA
reCAPTCHA cannot be disabled per-site without breaking the demo-request form. If you do not want reCAPTCHA to evaluate your interaction with the Site, you can email us at info@airtimeconnect.com instead of using the form. We respond to email inquiries within two (2) business days.
4. Updates to this Policy
We may update this Policy when we add, remove, or change cookies. The current version is always posted at this URL with the "Last reviewed" date. We will update the date and, if a change is material (for example, adding advertising cookies), we will surface notice on the Site before the change takes effect.
