In simple words
- The Website keeps a few small items in your browser so it works. These are always on.
- Analytics and Ads stay off until you say "yes". Saying "no" is as easy as saying "yes".
- You can change your choice any time with the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
- If you allow Analytics, we use Plausible (no cookies) and Google Analytics (sets its own
_gacookies).- Google AdSense runs only if we switch it on and only after you allow Ads.
- Campaign tags are saved only after you allow Analytics, and ad-count checks only after you allow Ads.
- The App does not use cookies. Your login is kept in secure storage on your phone.
1. What this policy covers
1.1 This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on the FitOS website at https://fitosapp.in (the "Website"). It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1.2 A cookie is a small text file a website saves in your browser. Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage, which also save small items in your browser. localStorage stays until it is cleared. sessionStorage is cleared when you close the tab. In this policy, we call all of these "storage".
2. Categories
2.1 Strictly necessary. Needed for the Website to work safely, for example to remember your consent choice, keep writers logged in, and stop spam. These are always on and do not need consent.
2.2 Analytics. Help us understand which pages are useful, in aggregate. Off until you allow them.
2.3 Advertising. Count impressions of ads on the Website and, if switched on, let Google AdSense show ads. Off until you allow them.

fitos-utm (sessionStorage) |
FitOS | Remembers campaign tags (UTM) from the link that brought you, so we know which campaign worked. Set only after you allow Analytics | Analytics | This visit only (cleared when you close the tab) |
| Plausible | Plausible | Counts page visits in aggregate. Uses no cookies and stores nothing in your browser | Analytics | Not applicable |
_ga, _ga_<id> cookies |

3.1 We do not use any other cookies or storage on the Website. If we add any, we will update this table before using them, and ask for consent where needed.
3.2 Plausible and Google Analytics run, and fitos-utm is saved, only after you allow Analytics. fitos-adimp:* is saved only after you allow Ads. FitOS banner ads are clearly labelled "Ad" or "Sponsored". When Ads are off, you may still see our own banners, but we do not count your views and no advertising storage is set.
3.3 For security and for counting page views once, our server keeps a one-way hash of your IP address. This is not stored in your browser and is not a cookie. We do not store your raw IP address. See our Privacy Policy.
4. How consent works
4.1 On your first visit, a banner asks for your choice. It has buttons to Accept all, Reject all and Customize. Reject is shown just as clearly as Accept.
4.2 Strictly necessary storage is always on. Analytics and Ads are off by default. Nothing in the Analytics or Advertising categories runs before you choose.
4.3 Under Customize, you can turn Analytics and Ads on or off separately.
4.4 We save your choice in fitos-consent so we do not ask again on every page.
5. How to change your choice
5.1 Click "Cookie settings" in the footer of any Website page. The banner opens again and you can change your choice. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
5.2 When you withdraw consent, we stop the related storage from that point. Data already collected in aggregate is not affected.
5.3 You can also clear or block cookies and storage in your browser settings. If you clear storage, the banner will ask you again. Blocking strictly necessary storage may stop logins and forms from working.
5.4 For Google AdSense, you can also manage ad settings in your Google account.
6. The mobile App
6.1 The FitOS App does not use cookies.
6.2 The App keeps your login token in secure storage on your device. It is removed when you sign out.
6.3 Where crash reporting is enabled, the App sends crash and error reports (device model, OS version, app version and error details) to Sentry so we can fix bugs.
6.4 The App has no ads and no advertising trackers.
