Lifexam — Cookie & Tracking Notice
Version: 1.0 (draft) · Effective date: [DATE]
Draft note for internal review — not for publication. This Notice is intentionally light because of two product decisions: analytics is self-hosted and privacy-respecting (so it can run without non-essential cookies), and we use no advertising or third-party tracking SDKs. The final scope depends on the analytics tool chosen (Umami / Plausible / Simple Analytics) and whether it is configured cookieless — flagged as an open item (Lester + Eng). If analytics is confirmed cookieless and only strictly-necessary cookies are used, this can remain a short statement and no consent banner is required for analytics.
This Notice explains the cookies and similar technologies Lifexam uses. It sits alongside our Privacy Policy, which is the full record of how we handle your data — this Notice is specifically about what is stored on or read from your device.
The short version
Lifexam is built to be light on tracking. We use only what we need to run the Service securely, plus privacy-respecting, self-hosted analytics to understand how the product is used. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not share your data with advertising or third-party tracking companies.
What we use
Strictly necessary cookies
These make the Service work and keep it secure — for example, keeping you signed in and protecting against fraud. They don't require your consent, because the Service can't function without them. They are not used to track you across other websites.
Analytics
We use self-hosted, privacy-respecting analytics to see how Lifexam is used (for example, which pages are visited) so we can improve it. Because it is self-hosted, this usage data stays with us — it is not sent to an external analytics company such as Google.
[If configured cookieless: Our analytics does not use cookies or store identifiers on your device, and does not track you across other sites.]
[If it uses any non-essential cookie: Where analytics uses a non-essential cookie, we ask for your consent first, and you can decline without losing access to the Service.]
Sign-in with Google or Apple
If you choose to sign in with Google or Apple, that provider may set cookies during the sign-in redirect, under their cookie policies. This only happens if you use that sign-in method. What data we receive from them is described in the Privacy Policy.
What we don't use
- No advertising or marketing cookies.
- No third-party tracking or social-media tracking pixels.
- No selling or sharing of your data for advertising.
Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may stop parts of the Service from working. [Where any non-essential cookie is used, a consent control is available in the app.]
Changes
If we change what we use — for example, by adding a tool that sets non-essential cookies — we will update this Notice and, where required, ask for your consent first.
