Cookies are small text files that a website can place on your device. This page lists, specifically, the cookies and similar technologies Track A Plane and its subdomains (trackaplane.com, parts.trackaplane.com, and taller.trackaplane.com) actually use — not a general or hypothetical description.
Track A Plane does not use analytics or advertising cookies of any kind. No Google Analytics, Meta/Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or similar tracking technology is installed on any Track A Plane property.
| Cookie | Set By | When | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
PHPSESSID | Track A Plane (first-party) | When you visit Register, Login, or List an Item | Session (deleted when you close your browser) | Necessary — keeps your session state, including login rate-limiting and two-factor challenge status. |
wordpress_logged_in_* / wordpress_sec_* | Track A Plane (first-party) | Only after you successfully sign in | Persistent, until you sign out or it expires | Necessary — keeps you signed in. |
tap_cookie_prefs | Track A Plane (first-party) | When you choose an option in the cookie preference banner or the Cookie Preferences panel | 1 year | Necessary/functional — remembers your own choice about whether listing videos load automatically. |
_GRECAPTCHA | Google reCAPTCHA (third-party) | Only when you submit the Register, Login, or List an Item form (not merely from visiting the page) | Set by Google; see Google’s cookie documentation | Security — fraud and spam prevention on those specific forms. |
| Square session/fraud cookies | Square (third-party) | Only on the List an Item / checkout page, when the payment form loads | Set by Square; see Square’s cookie documentation | Necessary — payment processing and fraud prevention for marketplace fees. |
| YouTube/Vimeo cookies | YouTube or Vimeo (third-party) | Only if a listing has a seller-supplied video and you click to load it (or you have opted in via Cookie Preferences) | Set by YouTube/Vimeo; see their cookie documentation | Optional — lets you watch a seller’s video walkthrough in place. This is the only non-essential, user-controllable technology on the site. |
Google Fonts (typography) load as a static asset on trackaplane.com but do not set cookies in our testing. parts.trackaplane.com and taller.trackaplane.com currently load no third-party resources at all and set no cookies beyond the shared session cookie above.
Because reCAPTCHA and Square are strictly necessary for the specific forms they protect (fraud prevention and payment processing), they are not optional and are not covered by the preference control below — disabling them would break registration, login, and checkout without a corresponding privacy benefit.
The video-embed cookie is the one technology you can control. Use the Cookie Preferences link in the site footer at any time to reopen the preference panel and choose whether listing videos load automatically or only when you click play. You can always click to load a single video regardless of your saved preference.
Track A Plane detects and honors the Global Privacy Control (Sec-GPC) signal sent by supporting browsers and extensions. When this signal is present, listing videos are always shown as click-to-load, regardless of any saved preference cookie, and the preference toggle for video auto-load is disabled.
Legacy browser “Do Not Track” signals are also read by our cookie preference script and treated the same way, though Do Not Track has no formal legal standard behind it in the way Global Privacy Control does under some state privacy laws.
Depending on your browser and location, you may also be able to:
Blocking the PHPSESSID or wordpress_logged_in_* cookies will prevent you from signing in or completing security-sensitive actions such as two-factor verification.
Google (reCAPTCHA, Fonts), Square, and YouTube/Vimeo each have their own privacy and cookie practices, which Track A Plane does not control. Review their published privacy information for details on how they handle information collected through their respective technologies.
If the technologies actually deployed on Track A Plane change, this page will be updated to match and the “Last Updated” date above will be revised.
