Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how FitTrainr uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (https://web.fittrainr.com) and web application (https://fittrainr.com). It complements our Privacy Notice.

We use cookies only for purposes that are strictly necessary to operate the Service. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site tracking, social media trackers, or third-party analytics scripts.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide reporting information to the site operator. We also treat browser local storage and session storage as "cookie-like" technologies for the purposes of this policy.

2. Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly necessary

These cookies are required for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled in our systems without breaking sign-in or session management.

• Session cookies — keep you signed in for the duration of your visit and across visits, until you sign out.
• CSRF tokens — protect form submissions and server actions from cross-site request forgery.
• Authentication state — set by our identity provider (Firebase Authentication) to remember which sign-in method you used and to refresh your session safely.

2.2 Functional

• Preferences — remember your timezone, unit system (metric vs. imperial), and dismissed in-app prompts.

2.3 What we do not use

• No advertising cookies.
• No third-party analytics (no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no Hotjar).
• No social media tracking buttons that phone home before you click.
• No fingerprinting beyond what is required for fraud detection on payments (handled by Stripe within their own consent boundary).

3. Managing Cookies

You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you reject the strictly necessary cookies above, however, parts of the Service will not work — most notably, you will not be able to sign in.

Because we set only strictly necessary cookies, we do not display a cookie consent banner. Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and similar laws, consent is not required for cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of a service explicitly requested by the user.

4. Changes to This Policy

If we ever introduce a new category of cookie — for example, first-party analytics — we will update this policy and provide an appropriate consent mechanism before enabling it. Material changes are tracked in our legal changelog.
