What this site stores
One cookie is set on this site by default: it remembers the language you picked with the FR / EN switch, for one year. It is only written if you change language, and it contains nothing but “fr” or “en”. Advertising cookies are set only if you accept them (see the next section).
We use Plausible to count visits. It is a cookieless tool that follows nobody from page to page or from site to site: it tells us how many people saw a page, not who. Because it collects no personal information, it runs for everyone and we don't have to ask your permission.
Your answer to the consent bar is kept in your browser's local storage, on your own device. It is never sent to us, and its only job is to know whether to ask you again.
If you arrive by clicking one of our ads, the link carries campaign parameters (utm_source or gclid, for example). They are kept in your browser's session storage, cleared when the tab closes, and passed to our purchase platform only if you open a purchase page, so we know which ad led to the sale.
Advertising and measurement cookies
We advertise on Facebook and Instagram. To know which ads actually bring people to the gym, we can load the Meta pixel: a small script that tells Meta which pages you visit on this site and, where it applies, that a form was submitted. Meta can tie that activity to your account and use it to target advertising.
We may also load Google Analytics, which measures the same actions for us: pages viewed, forms sent, calls placed from the site. Unlike Plausible it sets cookies (_ga) and recognises your browser from one visit to the next, which is how it knows whether this is your first time here or your fifth. Google can tie that activity to your Google account. The same Google tag may also serve Google Ads, to know which Google ads lead to a purchase.
None of that happens until you accept. While the bar is unanswered, or if you decline, no Meta or Google script is loaded and none of those cookies are set. Declining takes exactly the same one click as accepting, and takes nothing away from the site.
You can change your mind at any time: “manage cookies”, at the bottom of any page, brings the question back. If you withdraw consent we stop sending data immediately and delete the cookies already set (_fbp and _fbc for Meta, _ga for Google).
What Meta and Google then do with the information they have received is governed by their own privacy policies, not by this one.
The forms
The only form on this site is the class sign-up, on the class pages. It asks for the participant's name and age, a parent or guardian's name if they are a minor, an email, a phone number, the class and availability wanted, the experience level and, if you like, a message.
That information is used only to process the sign-up and to get back to you about it. It is not stored on this site: when sent, it reaches us by email through our email-sending service (Resend), and is kept in our mailbox for as long as it takes to process the sign-up.
To reach us any other way, write to info@escarpe.ca or call.
External services
Booking, the waiver of risk and gift-card purchases happen on our provider's own platform, on their site. Anything you enter there is governed by their policy, not this one.
The site's typefaces are hosted on this site itself: loading them sends nothing to a third party.
At the gym
In person we keep what we need to sell you an entry or a membership and to hold your signed waiver on file: name, contact details, and the dates you visited. That information is used to run the gym and for nothing else.
Your rights
You can ask to see the information we hold about you, have it corrected, or ask us to delete it where we aren't required to keep it.
Write to info@escarpe.ca and we'll get back to you.
