Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 18, 2026
Elite+ Performance Lab (“Elite+,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve eliteplusacademy.app (the “Platform”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies we use, and how you can manage them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They allow the site to recognize your device and remember your preferences or login status.
- Session cookies — Deleted when you close your browser
- Persistent cookies — Remain on your device until expiration or manual deletion
2. Cookies We Use
A. Essential Cookies (Cannot Be Disabled)
These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
eliteplus.sid |
Session management (authentication and login state) | 4 hours (30 days if “Remember Me” enabled) |
Flags: httpOnly (protects from JavaScript access), SameSite=Lax (CSRF protection), Secure (production only)
B. Analytics Cookies (Optional)

- Purpose: Anonymized usage statistics (page views, session duration, device type)
- Duration: Up to 2 years

Important: We do not use GA4 for advertising or personalization.
C. Performance Monitoring Cookies

- Purpose: Measure page load speed and user experience
- Data: Anonymized performance metrics
D. Advertising Cookies and Similar Technologies (Optional)
On eligible editorial article pages, Google AdSense may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads, limit repeated ads, prevent invalid traffic, and—where you consent—personalize advertising.
- Provider: Google AdSense and participating advertising partners
- Activation: Only when advertising is enabled for the page
- Controls: Consent choices, Google ad settings, and browser settings
3. Third-Party Cookies
The following third parties may set cookies when you use Elite+:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Stripe | Payment processing and fraud detection |
| Google Analytics | Usage analytics (as described above) |
| Google AdSense | Advertising delivery, measurement, reporting, and fraud prevention |
| Google / Discord | OAuth authentication (if you use “Sign in with Google/Discord”) |
Each provider operates independently and has its own privacy and cookie policies.
4. How to Manage Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions
Note: Blocking or deleting the eliteplus.sid session cookie
will prevent you from logging in.
Private Browsing / Incognito Mode
If you use private browsing, most cookies will be deleted when you close the browser.
However, essential cookies like eliteplus.sid are still required during the
session to keep you logged in.
5. Do We Use Advertising Cookies?
We may use them on eligible, ad-supported editorial pages. AdSense is not loaded when advertising has not been configured. When it is enabled, available choices and whether an ad is personalized depend on your location, age treatment, and consent.
Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services in Google’s partner-sites notice.
6. Consent (EEA, UK & Switzerland Users)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland:
- Essential cookies are set automatically based on legitimate interest (necessary to provide the service).
- Optional analytics and advertising technologies are handled according to your choices and applicable law.
When AdSense is active, Elite+ must use a Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework for these regions. You can change or withdraw your choices through the privacy options presented by that platform.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time.
Material changes will be communicated via the Platform or email.
The “Last Updated” date reflects the most recent revision.
