Cookie Policy
This policy describes the use of cookies and similar technologies on the website atak-server.com.
The TAK Server service itself does not use cookies. Communication between ATAK/iTAK clients and the server uses the open CoT (Cursor on Target) protocol over mutual TLS (mTLS) with X.509 certificates, not HTTP/cookies. This policy applies only to the public sales and support website.
Strictly necessary cookies (technical)
Essential for site operation. Loaded without prior consent under art. 22.2 LSSI-CE (exempt cookies):
- Checkout session — managed by Stripe during payment.
- Language preference — if changed manually.
Security and infrastructure cookies (Cloudflare)
The site is served via Cloudflare as CDN, DDoS mitigation and WAF. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary cookies for:
- Identifying the secure session (TLS).
- Detecting abusive or automated traffic (anti-bot, DDoS).
- Load balancing and routing to infrastructure.
Considered necessary for secure service provision. Not used for profiling, marketing or advertising. More info: cloudflare.com/cookie-policy.
Stripe cookies
During payment, Stripe installs cookies for fraud prevention (necessary to complete the purchase). Policy: stripe.com/cookies-policy.
Analytics cookies (subject to consent)
We use Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd., ID G-MKR9H8EGSG) to understand how the site is used and improve the service. These cookies are only installed if you accept the consent banner. If you reject or do not answer, no Google cookie is installed and no identifier is assigned to you.
How it works exactly. Since 24 September 2026 we use Google's consent mode: the measurement tag is present on the page from the start, but it begins with analytics storage denied. Until you accept, no cookie is written or read and no client identifier is stored; the tag may send Google a cookieless signal (which does not identify you) used only in aggregate, statistical form. Pressing “Accept” switches the permission to granted and only then are the cookies in the table installed. Pressing “Reject” keeps it denied. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage (key atak_cookie_consent), not in a cookie, and you can change it by clearing site data in your browser. Consent is requested separately on atak-server.com and portal.atak-server.com.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguish unique users | 2 years |
| _ga_MKR9H8EGSG | Persist GA4 session state | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguish users (24h) | 24 hours |
GA4 is configured with IP anonymisation enabled (anonymize_ip: true). Data may be transferred to the U.S. under SCCs and EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Change your choice: clear browser cookies or revisit in incognito; banner reappears.
Advertising and marketing cookies
None used. No Plausible, Matomo, Hotjar, Facebook Pixel or equivalents. No marketing scripts, third-party embeds (YouTube, external fonts, etc.) or ad cookies.
How to manage cookies
You may configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking technical or security cookies may prevent the checkout from working or flag you as suspicious traffic.
