This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on fitnessdrum.com, and what they do. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which sets out the broader context of how we handle your personal data.
We keep our cookie use minimal. We do not use advertising cookies, Facebook Pixel, or any other marketing or behavioural tracking technology.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies do not give us access to your device or any information beyond what they store themselves.
You can control cookies through your browser settings — see the Managing Cookies section below.
Cookies We Use
We use three categories of cookie on this site:
Essential CookiesAlways active
These cookies are necessary for the website and platform to function and cannot be disabled. They do not store any personally identifiable information.
They include session cookies that keep you logged in to your platform account, and security cookies that help protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF attacks).
These cookies are set by Fitness Drum directly and are deleted when you close your browser or after a short inactivity period.
Analytics CookiesRequires consent
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site — for example, which pages are most visited, how long people spend on the site, and how they found us. This helps us improve the site over time.
Google Analytics collects information in aggregate and does not identify you personally. It sets cookies such as _ga and _gid on your device. Data is retained for 26 months.
Data collected by Google Analytics may be processed in the United States under the UK-US Data Bridge adequacy framework. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy. You can also opt out at any time using Google’s browser opt-out add-on.
We ask for your consent before placing analytics cookies, via the cookie banner shown on your first visit.
Affiliate Referral CookiesRequires consent
Some articles on our blog contain affiliate links. When you click one of these links, a cookie may be placed on your device by the affiliate network (such as Awin, Impact, or Amazon Associates) to record that the visit originated from our site. This is used solely to attribute any resulting purchase for commission purposes.
These cookies do not track your broader browsing activity and are not used for advertising. They are set by the affiliate network at the moment of click, before you are redirected to the third-party website.
The data collected is governed by the respective network’s privacy policy:
For more on our affiliate relationships, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
