The user may configure their browser at any time to accept or reject cookies. Disabling technical cookies may, however, cause difficulties in using the Platform, including the inability to log in.

6. Consent

Strictly necessary technical cookies for the operation of the service do not require the prior collection of user consent, in accordance with applicable regulations (Article 82 of the French Data Protection Act and CNIL recommendations).

Optional cookies are organized into two distinct categories, with granular consent managed via the cookie banner:

"Analytics" category

Microsoft Clarity (heatmaps, anonymized session recordings). Placed only after explicit consent to the "Analytics" category. Vercel Analytics, an audience measurement tool exempted under CNIL recommendations (no cross-site tracking, aggregated data), is used without prior consent.

"Marketing" category

Meta Pixel and Conversions API. Placed only after explicit consent to the "Marketing" category, distinct from the "Analytics" category. Refusing this category also blocks the sending of events to Meta Conversions API on the server side (no leak through the server channel).

A consent banner is displayed on the first visit, offering the choice to accept all, refuse all, or customize consent by category. The choice can be revisited at any time by clearing site data in browser settings.

7. Changes to the Cookie Policy

FV – Fitness Vendor reserves the right to modify this cookie policy at any time. The current version is the one published on the website. Users are encouraged to regularly review this document.
