This Cookie Policy explains how Lifting Coach uses cookies and similar technologies.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly and securely.
2. Cookies We Use
We use only essential cookies. These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to operate and cannot be switched off in our systems.
We do not use non-essential cookies (such as analytics, advertising, or personalization cookies) unless this Policy is updated and any required legal steps are taken.
3. Why We Use Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are used to:
- Keep you signed in and maintain secure sessions
- Protect login and account-related processes
- Support core features such as authentication and password reset flows
- Maintain security and prevent abuse
Without these cookies, the Service may not function correctly.
4. Legal Basis (GDPR / ePrivacy)
Because these cookies are strictly necessary to provide the Service requested by the user, they are used on the basis of necessity for service provision (and, where applicable, our legitimate interest in securing the Service).
Consent is generally not required for strictly necessary cookies under applicable ePrivacy rules.
5. Cookie List (Essential)
The exact cookie names may vary by framework/version and environment. Typical essential cookies include:
| Cookie Category | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication/session cookie | Maintains signed-in session and identity state | Lifting Coach | Session or short-lived |
| Security/anti-forgery cookie | Protects forms and authentication endpoints from abuse | Lifting Coach | Session |
| External login flow state cookie | Ensures secure OAuth 2.0 login flow with Google/Facebook | Lifting Coach | Very short-lived |
If implementation changes, this table will be updated.
6. Third-Party Services
When you choose social login (Google/Facebook), those providers may set cookies under their own policies when you interact with their authentication pages.
