Cookies and analytics
Last updated:
Which cookies and browser storage sportfitracker.com uses, why, for how long, and how to accept or refuse analytics.
Your choice
On your first visit, a banner asks whether you accept audience measurement. "Refuse" and "Accept" are equally easy, and the site works exactly the same either way. Nothing used for analytics is sent or stored before you choose, or if you refuse.
Your choice is remembered for 6 months, then we ask again. You can change it at any time with the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw your consent, analytics stops and the analytics cookie and storage are deleted from your browser.
Audience measurement (only with your consent)
We use PostHog, a service of PostHog Inc., on its EU Cloud (data stored in Frankfurt, Germany), to understand how the site is used: pages viewed, clicks, device type and errors. Data is sent through our own domain (sportfitracker.com/ingest). We use it only to improve the site, never for advertising. Details are in the privacy policy.

Strictly necessary and preference storage (no consent needed)
These items are exempt from consent because they are needed to provide a feature you use or to protect the site. None of them tracks you across sites.
