Privacy policy

Version of October 5, 2026

Flightstatus24 processes as little personal data as possible. This policy explains which data is processed when you visit this website, for what purpose, and which rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Server logs

When you visit this website, the web server records technical data: your IP address, the date and time, the page requested, the referring page and the browser type. We use these logs only for security and technical management (legitimate interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). They are deleted automatically after a short period and are not combined with other data.

Cloudflare

This website is delivered through Cloudflare, Inc. (United States), which acts as a content delivery network and protects the website against attacks and abuse. All traffic between your browser and this website passes through Cloudflare; your IP address is processed and technically necessary cookies may be set. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure and fast website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Cloudflare is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. More information: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Statistics (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google AdSense) run on every page of this website, except the flight map that other websites can embed in their own pages. Technically necessary cookies and browser storage do not require consent.

In the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland, cookies for statistics and advertising are only set after you have given consent in the Google message that appears on your first visit (Google Consent Mode). There you can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the “Privacy settings” link at the bottom of every page, which opens the message again.

Outside those countries, statistics and personalized advertising are on by default, and the “Privacy settings” link takes you to this explanation. To object: in the United States, use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link that Google shows in the states whose laws require it; anywhere, turn off ad personalization at adssettings.google.com and block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Statistics: Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to measure how the website is used: pages visited, origin of visitors and device type. In the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*, retained for up to two years) are only set after your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR); elsewhere they are set by default (see “Cookies and consent”). Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses and the statistics cannot be traced back to you as a person. Google may transfer data to the United States and is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We keep analytics data no longer than needed for the statistics, according to the retention period set in Google Analytics. More information: policies.google.com/privacy.

Advertising: Google AdSense

This website shows advertisements through Google AdSense (Google Ireland Limited) to keep the website free to use. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads and measure their effectiveness. In the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, personalized advertising is only enabled after your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR); without consent you may still see ads, but they are not personalized. Elsewhere, ads are personalized by default unless you object (see “Cookies and consent”). More information: policies.google.com/technologies/ads; you can manage ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.

Map and flight data

The flight radar and the maps on this website are our own services: the flight data is loaded from our own servers, and no visitor data is passed to external radar providers. For the map display, map tiles are loaded from OpenFreeMap (tiles.openfreemap.org); your IP address is technically transmitted to that tile server. OpenFreeMap does not set cookies. Some airline logos are loaded from an external image service (Brandfetch); your browser then sends your IP address to that service. The location button on the map uses your location only in your browser, after you have allowed it; it is not transmitted to us or stored.

Data stored in your browser

This website has no accounts. Recent searches, saved flights and your preferences (such as your mode of transport) are stored only in your own browser and are never sent to us. You can delete this data at any time through your browser settings.

Contact by email

If you email us, we process your email address, your name if you give it, and the content of your message in order to answer you (Article 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR). We delete the correspondence as soon as it is no longer needed.

If you use the contact form on this website, your name, your email address and your message are sent to the operator as an email; they are not stored in a database on the server. Your IP address and the time of sending are used briefly to prevent misuse of the form.

Sharing and retention

We never sell your data. We only share data with parties that are needed to run the website, such as our hosting provider, Cloudflare and Google, with data processing agreements where the GDPR requires them, and otherwise only where the law obliges us. Server logs are kept briefly, analytics data no longer than needed for the statistics and email correspondence for as long as handling requires.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify and erase your personal data, to restrict processing, to data portability and to object to processing based on legitimate interest. Consent you have given can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. Send your request to the contact address above; we respond within one month. You can also lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl) or with the supervisory authority in your own country.

Security

The connection to this website is encrypted (HTTPS). We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data against loss and unauthorized access.

Changes

We may amend this policy when the website or the law changes. The current version, with its date, is always on this page.
