Cookie Policy
Last updated: 5 May 2026.
This Cookie Policy explains how the British Helicopter Association uses cookies and equivalent local storage on this website, in line with the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are commonly used to remember preferences, support security and provide functionality. "Local storage" is a similar browser mechanism used to remember information on your device.
What we use
This website uses only essential cookies and local-storage entries. We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not load third-party content that would set such cookies.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| bha_cookie_consent_v1 | Local storage (first-party) | Remembers your choice on the cookie banner so we do not show it on every page. | Until cleared by you |
| PHPSESSID | Cookie (first-party, session) | May occasionally be set by the hosting environment for standard request handling. It contains no personal data and is deleted when you close the browser. We do not use it for tracking. | Session |
Your choice
When you first visit, a banner asks you to Accept essential or Reject non-essential. Because we do not use any non-essential cookies, both options have the same practical effect: only essential storage is used. The banner stops appearing once you make a choice. You can re-open the banner at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you view, manage and delete cookies and local-storage entries. Information on how to do this is available within your browser's help pages.
Changes
If we change the cookies used on this website, we will update this page and, where required, ask for your consent again.
