The few cookies Sinrix sets to keep you signed in, and the ones it never sets.

The short version

  • Sinrix sets only the cookies it needs to work: keeping you signed in and protecting your sign-in.
  • No advertising cookies, no analytics cookies and no tracking across other sites.
  • Because every cookie here is needed for the service, there is nothing to switch on or off.

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep, so it can recognize you on the next page. Some are needed for a site to work; others track people for analytics or advertising. Sinrix uses only the first kind.

2. The cookies Sinrix sets

On a secure connection the sign-in cookies' names begin with "__Secure-", which tells your browser to send them only over HTTPS.

  • Cookie
    better-auth.session_token
    What it does
    Keeps you signed in to sinrix.com.
    How long it lasts
    Seven days, renewed while you use Sinrix, and removed when you sign out
  • Cookie
    better-auth.dont_remember
    What it does
    Remembers that you chose not to stay signed in.
    How long it lasts
    Until you close your browser
  • Cookie
    better-auth.oauth_state
    What it does
    Protects a sign-in with Google from being forged, while you are on Google's page.
    How long it lasts
    Ten minutes
  • Cookie
    better-auth.admin_session
    What it does
    Set only for a member of the Sinrix team during a support session, to return them to their own account.
    How long it lasts
    At most 60 minutes
  • Cookie
    sinrix_brand
    What it does
    Remembers which of your brands you opened last, so the pages of the brand you are using reach the right one. It holds that brand's identifier and a signature, and is sent only on pages under sinrix.com/b.
    How long it lasts
    Until you close your browser
  • Cookie
    A one-time cookie on connect.sinrix.com
    What it does
    Ties the connection of an app to the browser that started it, so no one else can finish it.
    How long it lasts
    15 minutes, or until the connection is made

Your brand's own pages, under sinrix.com/b, set cookies of their own, named for the brand, to keep its people signed in to the brand. They work the same way and are needed for the same reason.

3. What we do not use

  • No analytics cookies or scripts: we count blog post reads on our own server, without cookies and without identifying you.
  • No advertising cookies, pixels or tracking across other sites.
  • No cookies from other companies on sinrix.com. If you sign in with Google, Google's own cookies apply on Google's pages, under Google's policy.

4. Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. If you block the ones above, you will not be able to sign in, because they are what keeps you signed in.

The site shows a short notice about these cookies until you choose "Got it". Your browser then keeps a note in its local storage that you have seen the notice, so it does not appear again. The note is not a cookie: it stays in your browser, is never sent to us, and holds nothing but that you have seen the notice. Clearing your browser's data for sinrix.com removes it, and the notice appears once more.

5. Changes and contact

If we ever add a cookie that is not needed for Sinrix to work, we will ask for your consent first and list it here. Questions: privacy@sinrix.com.
