Just like most other web sites, aprs.fi uses third-party mapping, analytics and advertisement systems to implement core features of the service, collect statistics on its use, and to provide some advertising revenue to cover the cost and work involved in providing the service.

Through the use of these third-party services, and with the help of cookies, we share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising and analytics partners, including Google and Twitter.

Although cookies have been in wide use since the 90's, new law and policies set by the EU and Google require aprs.fi to display a prominent warning to visitors from the EU regarding the use of cookies. Nothing in the use of cookies has changed lately, it's just a new warning box that you need to click. Sorry about that.

We collect the following information:

Click-stream data and HTTP protocol elements (the usual web server access logs)
Search terms and other data submitted by the user
Information found on the APRS-IS network

This data will be used for the following purposes:

Completion and support of the current activity.
