Cookies

The short version

This site has no advertising, no analytics and no tracking of any kind. Nothing here reports what you look at to anybody, and there is no third-party script on any page except the checkout, where the payment provider's card fields load. What it does store is three cookies and one preference, listed below. Two of the cookies are how the site knows you are signed in; without them it cannot work at all. The third remembers which language you chose. There is no pop-up asking you to agree to any of this, and that is deliberate rather than an oversight. Two of the cookies are strictly necessary, which needs no permission. The third is written only in the instant you press the language switch, which is you asking for it. Nothing optional is put on your device before you do something that asks for it.

Strictly necessary, and not optional

apex_session. Set when you sign in, and it is what keeps you signed in. It holds a signed token containing your account id, your name, your email address and your role. It cannot be read by any script, including ours, and it lasts thirty days or until you sign out. apex_desk. For the studio's own staff only. The desk console asks for a password again even when somebody is already signed in, and this remembers that it was given. It lasts fifteen minutes of inactivity and then the console locks itself, because it sits on a counter in a room the public walks through. Neither of these is set before you sign in, and neither can be refused while you are signed in: they are not a way of learning anything about you, they are the mechanism by which the site knows who is asking.

A preference, set only when you ask for it

apex_locale. Remembers whether you are reading the site in English or Greek, so it opens in the right language next time. Set the moment you use the language switch, lasts a year, and contains nothing but "en" or "el". The notification reminder. If you decline the prompt asking whether you want class reminders on your phone, that decision is remembered in your browser's own storage so you are not asked again on that device. It contains a date and nothing else, it never leaves your device, and the studio cannot read it. Neither of these appears unless you act. Never touch the language switch and there is no apex_locale at all; never decline the notification prompt and there is nothing remembered. Delete them and the site still works: it will simply open in its default language each time, and may ask again about notifications.

The payment provider, on the checkout page only

When you go to pay, the card fields are provided by the studio's payment provider, which sets its own cookies to spot fraud and to keep a payment attempt together across a page reload. They load only on the checkout page, only when you are signed in and actually paying, and they are necessary to take a payment safely. The provider publishes its own cookie policy; write to info@apexfitnesscentrecy.com and the studio will tell you which provider it is and where to read it. The studio cannot switch these off and still take card payments. If you would rather not have them, pay at the desk.

Other requests your browser makes

Two things are worth naming even though they set no cookie, because a page about cookies that said nothing about these would be a strange kind of honesty. Typefaces. The fonts on this site are requested from an outside font service, which means that service sees the network address your device is using and what kind of browser it is. No cookie is set and nothing is stored on your device. The studio can serve the fonts itself instead, which would remove the request entirely, and it is a single change if you would prefer that: say so. Notifications. If you turn on class reminders, they are delivered through whichever push service your own browser uses, which depends on your device. That relationship is between your browser and its maker; the studio holds only the address that service gives it for your device, and deletes it when you turn notifications off. Deleting the cookies above does not stop either of these, and it would be misleading to imply otherwise. The first is a request for a file; the second only happens if you ask for it.

Removing them, with your browser's own controls

Every browser can list the cookies a site has set and delete them, usually under Privacy or Site settings. Clearing them for this site removes the language cookie and the notification reminder together, and the site puts back only what you ask it to put back. Your browser can also block cookies outright. Blocking the two necessary ones will stop you being able to sign in, which is not the site being awkward: signing in is what those cookies are. Last updated: September 2026.
