Cookie management
In short
- No advertising, no advertising trackers, no social media buttons that follow you: the links to social networks are plain links.
- Visits are measured without cookies (measurement exempt from consent), and you can opt out.
- Videos and documents from other services only load with your consent: until then, an image hosted by the site stands in for them.
- Fonts, the map library and the shop’s photos are served by the site itself: no calls to Google Fonts or any other service behind your back.
Your choices
Your choice is kept for six months on this device. You can change it here, or at any time with the “Manage my cookies” link at the bottom of every page.
The settings appear when JavaScript is enabled. Without JavaScript, no content from another service is loaded and audience measurement does not run.
What is always active
These cookies and the data kept in your browser are needed for the site to work or for a service you have asked for: they do not require consent (article 82 of the French Data Protection Act). They are not used to track you and are never passed on to third parties; session cookies are only set if you log in.

Audience measurement
The federation measures visits to the site with Matomo, installed on its own server (stats.ffplum.fr) and configured according to the CNIL’s recommendations so that it is exempt from consent: no cookies, IP address anonymised, no tracking across sites, no cross-referencing with other data, statistics kept for 25 months at most and never passed on to third parties. The site also keeps its own counter: daily totals (page viewed, referring site, type of device), with no personal data at all.
You can opt out with “Manage my cookies” (the “Audience measurement” setting). Your browser’s “Global Privacy Control” signal is also respected.
What awaits your consent
| Service | What for | What happens when it is shown |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube (Google Ireland) | Videos from the federation and its partners | Played on youtube-nocookie.com: YouTube receives your IP address and sets its trackers as soon as the video is shown |
| Vimeo, Dailymotion | A few videos in articles | These services receive your IP address and set their trackers when the content is shown |
| Google Maps, Calaméo | Maps and documents embedded in some articles | These services receive your IP address and set their trackers when the content is shown |
Clicking “Show” or the play button counts as consent for that type of content across the whole site, for six months. “Reject all” keeps all such content blocked; you can change your mind at any time. Trackers set by these services are governed by their own policies (Google, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Calaméo).
Airfield maps
The maps on the home page and the “Where to fly” pages are drawn with a library served by the site. Their map backgrounds come from OpenStreetMap (tile.openstreetmap.org): the OpenStreetMap Foundation receives your browser’s IP address in order to send it the images, without setting any cookie.
Changing your mind, deleting everything
The “Manage my cookies” link at the bottom of every page reopens your choices. You can also clear cookies and site data in your browser settings: you will then be asked for your choices again. For any question: ffplum@ffplum.org.
