The cookies PTO Manager uses, and why.
Last updated: September 10, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how [Your Legal Entity Name] ("PTO Manager", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on pto-manager.com. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They let a website remember your actions and preferences over time — for example, keeping you signed in between page loads.
We use only strictly necessary cookies. We do not use advertising, tracking, or profiling cookies, and we do not sell data derived from cookies.
| Name | Purpose | Set when | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
wordpress_logged_in_<hash> |
Keeps you authenticated so you stay signed in as you move between pages. | When you sign in | Session, or 14 days with "Remember me" |
wordpress_sec_<hash> |
Protects access to authenticated areas and secures the sign-in session. | When you sign in | Session, or 14 days with "Remember me" |
pto_goauth_state |
Security token that validates a "Sign in with Google" attempt, preventing forged sign-in callbacks. | When you start Google sign-in | 10 minutes |
hc_js_gate |
Set by our web host's firewall once your browser passes a bot-protection check. Does not identify you. | During a browser integrity check | 1 hour |
All of the above are marked HttpOnly and Secure, meaning they
cannot be read by client-side scripts and are only transmitted over HTTPS.
We measure aggregate site usage (for example, page views and approximate country) server-side to understand how the site is used. These statistics are aggregated and are not used to build a profile of you or to serve advertising.
When you choose Google sign-in, Google may set its own cookies on its own domains during the authentication flow. Those cookies are governed by Google's cookie policy, not ours. We do not control them.
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Because the cookies we use are strictly necessary, blocking them will prevent you from signing in and using the application. Instructions for common browsers:
Signing out of PTO Manager clears the authentication cookies for your session. Note that signing out does not itself remove cookies already stored by your browser — use your browser's clear-data option for that.
If we introduce new cookies or third-party tools, we will update this page and revise the "Last updated" date above.
