Legal
We use a small number of cookies. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site working and cannot be disabled. Analytics cookies are optional — you decide. We never use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, function more efficiently, and to provide information to the website owner.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other organisations are third-party cookies. Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
Similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixels may also be used. In this policy we use "cookies" to refer to all of these technologies collectively.
We use cookies for three purposes:
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, social media tracking, or cross-site behavioural profiling.
The table below lists the cookies set by the 6Degrees website.
| Name | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookieConsent | Essential | 1 year | Stores your cookie consent choice (accept / decline) so the consent banner is not shown on every page visit. Set via localStorage. |
| cookiePrefs | Functional | Session | Temporarily records granular cookie preferences you set via "Manage preferences". Cleared when you close your browser. |
| _ga | Analytics | 2 years | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique users. Only set if you accept analytics cookies. IP anonymisation is enabled; data is not used for advertising. |
| _ga_* | Analytics | 2 years | Google Analytics — stores and counts page views for the session linked to the property ID. |
| _gid | Analytics | 24 hours | Google Analytics — distinguishes users within the same session window. |
If you decline analytics cookies, the _ga, _ga_*, and _gid cookies are not set. The cookieConsent key is stored in localStorage rather than as an HTTP cookie, so it is not transmitted to our server.
If analytics cookies are accepted, Google Analytics places cookies on your device. Google may use this data in accordance with its own privacy policy. We have configured Analytics to:
We do not embed social media buttons, third-party video players, or advertising networks on our site, so no cookies are set by those services.

You can also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent your data being used by Google Analytics across all sites.
Under GDPR, we require your freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. We obtain this via our cookie banner.
You may withdraw consent at any time with no detriment. To do so:

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves or as regulations change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes that affect cookies requiring consent will trigger a new consent prompt.
