Approach/Landing category and Vref

Dear Ppruners

Need to refresh my memory:
Is the approach Category defined by the speed at Max Landing Weight or by the ACTUAL weight ? I.e. Is it fixed or does it change according to actual scenario ?

And if you add knots because of other considerations, crosswind or turbulence for example, do you have to bump up your Category ?

Thanks a million !

Leo
