Last updated: November 15, 2026.
CrosswindBay ("we") runs crosswindbay.com, an independent aviation site. This page explains what the site collects (very little), which other services load on its pages, and how to reach us.
The short version
- You do not need an account to use this site, and we do not ask for one.
- We do not sell or rent personal information.
- We do not use advertising trackers or build profiles of visitors.
- Some features load content from other services, listed below. Those services have their own privacy policies.
What we collect
Analytics. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views. It does not use cookies, does not track you across sites, and does not identify individual visitors.
Server logs. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical information such as IP addresses and request data to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. See Cloudflare's privacy policy for details.
Email. If you email us, we use your address and message only to reply to you. We do not add you to a mailing list.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Services that load on our pages
- Weather in the Pilot Lounge comes from NOAA's Aviation Weather Center through our own server, so your browser does not contact NOAA directly.
- Aircraft traffic comes from the community ADS-B service adsb.lol through our own server.
- Market widgets are provided by TradingView and load from TradingView's servers, which may set their own cookies. See TradingView's privacy policy.
- Maps load map tiles from OpenStreetMap's servers, which receive your IP address and the map area you view.
- Fonts are served from our own site.
Links to other sites
- Our shop. Links to the CrosswindBay shop go to Etsy, which has its own privacy policy and cookies. Some of our links carry simple campaign tags (for example
utm_source=crosswindbay.com) so we can see which pages send people to the shop. These tags do not identify you. - The arcade. Our free games are hosted at crosswindbay-arcade.pages.dev.
- Affiliate partners. We are not in any affiliate program yet. If we join one, partner links will be marked, and the partner may use cookies on its own site to credit a referral. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and use your browser's tracking protections. The site works without third-party cookies; some embedded widgets (such as the market board) may not load if you block them.
Changes
If we change how the site handles information, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date.
