Cookie policy
In effect 14 August 2026
There are 6. 4 are ours and are the site doing what you asked it to. 2 are Google's, they count how many people who read this page end up using the product, and they are not set unless you say yes. The product we sell still sets none at all on the people using your app.
Ours, and not optional
These four are what the site is made of. There is no version of being signed in that does not involve the first one.
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
sixty_session | Sixty | Keeps you signed in. Holds a random token — no name, no email, nothing readable. | 30 days, or until you sign out |
sixty_theme | Sixty | Remembers whether you chose light, dark, or follow-my-system. | 1 year |
sixty_scope | Sixty | Remembers which of your services you were last looking at. | 90 days |
sixty_cookies | Sixty | Remembers whether you said yes or no to analytics, so you are not asked twice. | 1 year |
Consent is required for storing things that are not necessary for the service you actually asked for, and these are on the exempt side of that line — worth going through one at a time rather than asserting:
- The session cookie is being signed in. Without it, “signed in” has no meaning.
- The theme and scope cookies each record a choice you made by clicking a control whose entire purpose is to be remembered. A setting that forgets is not a setting.
- The last one remembers your answer to the question below. Asking permission to remember that you said no would mean asking forever, which is how a banner wears somebody down into saying yes.
Google's, and entirely up to you
| Cookie | Set by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics. Gives this browser a random number so that arriving today and signing up on Thursday can be counted as one person rather than two. Only set if you agree. | 2 years | |
_ga_* | Google Analytics, again: which visit you are on, so the steps you take in one sitting are counted as one sitting. Only set if you agree. | 2 years |
We use Google Analytics on this website to answer one question: of the people who read about this product, how many make an account, see the price, subscribe, and get it working. That is an ordinary thing for a business to want to know, and there is no version of asking it that does not need your permission.
If you say no, the tag is never loaded. Not loaded and told to behave — not requested at all, so these two cookies are never created. That is decided on our server before the page is built, which is why there is no flicker and nothing to trust us about.
If you said yes and have changed your mind, saying no now expires these cookies, and deletes the identifier we kept so that a later subscription could be counted as the same visit. What Google already holds is between you and Google; we cannot reach into their records and will not pretend otherwise.
What this page used to say
Until we added the two above, this section was headed “Why there is no Accept or Reject”, and it argued — correctly — that a Reject button which switched nothing off would be theatre. It also promised that if we ever added anything that tracked, the notice would become a real gate: nothing stored until you say so, with a Reject that rejects.
That is what the box at the bottom of the page now is. Both buttons are the same size and sit next to each other, because burying the second one behind a “manage preferences” link is the part of this industry we said we would not join.
Your app's visitors
None of this reaches them. Our libraries set no cookies and use no local storage in your users' browsers; they read no identifiers and write none. Installing Sixty still adds nothing to your own consent banner — what changed is our website, not the product.
Getting rid of them
Your browser can delete them all and block future ones — every browser has this under privacy settings. Blocking the four in the first table will sign you out and lose your preferences, which is why they are not offered as a choice here: it would be a switch whose only setting is broken.
