What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device (computer, phone or tablet) when you visit it. It lets the site remember information about your visit, such as preferences or session state.
Cookies we use
Fitaxion uses only the following cookies:
2.1. Strictly necessary cookies (no consent required)
- refreshToken — HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax. Keeps your session securely active. Expires in 7 days.
- auth-status — functional. Tells the middleware your role (athlete/trainer/admin) for proper routing. Expires in 7 days.
- email-verified — functional. Indicates if your email is verified. Expires in 7 days.
- profile-completed — functional. For athletes only, indicates if initial onboarding is done. Expires in 7 days.
- theme (in localStorage) — functional. Remembers your light/dark mode preference. Persists until you clear it.
These cookies are essential for the service to work. Without them you cannot log in or navigate. Their use is exempt from the duty to inform and obtain consent, per the Spanish AEPD's cookies guide.
2.2. Analytics cookies (when enabled — future)
Today we use no analytics cookies. When enabled, we will update this policy and offer a prior consent banner. Plausible (privacy-first analytics) may be added without consent as it uses no cookies. PostHog or other more invasive tools will require your opt-in.
2.3. Third-party cookies
We do not use social, advertising or third-party tracking cookies. If in the future we add a widget requiring them (e.g. a chatbot or a map), we will notify you beforehand.
How to manage them
As we only use strictly necessary cookies, you cannot disable them without breaking the service. You can however:
- Log out from the app — clears session cookies.
- Configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Each browser has its privacy panel: Chrome (Settings → Privacy and security), Firefox (Settings → Privacy and security), Safari (Preferences → Privacy), Edge (Settings → Privacy).
- Clear localStorage from the browser DevTools (Application → Local Storage).
Blocking all cookies will prevent the app from working: you will not be able to log in.
Changes to this policy
If we add new cookie categories (analytics or third-party), we will update this policy and, where appropriate, display a consent banner. For any questions, write to legal@fitaxion.com.
