This policy explains exactly which cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, how long they stay on your device, and how you can control them at any time.
Last updated: 27 February 2026
On your first visit to our website, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the screen. We offer three clear choices — no option is pre-ticked or pre-selected:
Accept All
Enables all cookie categories including functional and analytics cookies. You can withdraw this at any time.
Reject All
Only strictly necessary cookies are set. No analytics or functional cookies are activated. The website continues to work normally.
Manage Preferences
Opens the preference centre where you can enable or disable each cookie category independently, then save your selection.
No non-essential cookies or third-party connections are established until you make an active, affirmative choice. Each consent decision is recorded in an auditable log containing: (1) your unique consent ID, (2) a UTC timestamp of when consent was given or withdrawn, (3) the policy version in effect at that time, and (4) your per-category selection (accepted / rejected). This log is retained for 3 years as proof of consent under GDPR Art. 7(1).
Continuing to browse, scroll, or navigate this website does not constitute consent to non-essential cookies (GDPR Art. 7; EDPB Guidelines 05/2020 on consent, §3.1). Your consent must be actively and unambiguously expressed through the banner above.
Full details of every cookie set on this website, including type, purpose, retention period, and the legal basis for processing.
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They do not store any personally identifiable information. No consent is required under the ePrivacy Directive as they are strictly necessary to provide a service you have requested.

These cookies enable the website to remember choices you make (such as your language preference) to provide a more personalised experience. Disabling them may affect how the website works for you.

We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies on this website. If this changes, we will update this policy, notify you, and request your fresh explicit consent before setting any such cookies.
This Cookie Policy is issued by Raman Navarych (trading as The Family Code), ul. Franciszka Klimczaka 7/81, 02-797 Warszawa, Poland (NIP: 9512577983, REGON: 526409740), acting as Data Controller. It is issued in compliance with:
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They help websites work properly, remember your choices, and collect information about how you use the site.
Temporary cookies deleted automatically when you close your browser. They carry no information from one browsing session to another.
Cookies that remain on your device for a fixed period (see the retention column in the tables above) or until you delete them manually.
Cookies set by The Family Code directly on the-family-code.com. Only we can read these cookies.
Cookies set by our service providers (currently Google Analytics only). Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies, linked above.
When you consent to analytics cookies, data collected by Google Analytics is transmitted to and processed by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), a third party outside the European Economic Area.
You can review Google's privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy and the full list of cookies set by Google Analytics at policies.google.com/technologies/cookies. For technical details on GA4 cookie usage see Google Analytics cookie reference. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
We also use browser local storage — a storage mechanism that works similarly to a persistent cookie but is never transmitted in HTTP headers. The following local storage entries are used on this website:
| Key Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| tfc_cookie_consent | Necessary | The Family Code | Stores your detailed cookie consent preferences (accepted/rejected per category) so they are remembered across pages and return visits without showing the banner again. | Until you clear browser data |
This local storage entry is subject to the ePrivacy Directive's strictly-necessary exemption as it is required solely to record and honour your consent choices. You can clear it at any time through your browser's site data settings.
You have the right to withdraw consent at any time, as easily as you gave it (GDPR Art. 7(3)). Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal. You have several ways to manage your preferences:
Your consent preferences are stored for up to 13 months (395 days) via the tfc_consent_id cookie and the tfc_cookie_consent local storage entry. After 13 months, or whenever our cookie practices change materially, the consent banner will be shown again and we will ask for your fresh confirmation before setting any non-essential cookies. This 13-month period is consistent with guidance from the CNIL and ICO. You can re-confirm, update, or withdraw your preferences at any time using any of the methods below — you do not need to wait.
Click the button below (or the "Cookie Settings" link in the website footer) to open the preference centre and update or withdraw your consent at any time. Changes take effect immediately.
You can block or delete all cookies through your browser settings. This will clear your consent record and our banner will re-appear on your next visit. Note that blocking all cookies may affect website functionality. Guidance for common browsers:
To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites (not only ours), install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Email privacy@the-family-code.com and we will withdraw your consent and delete associated data on your behalf as soon as technically feasible.
We honour the Global Privacy Control signal. When a GPC signal is detected, we automatically:
There is currently no legally recognised standard for the DNT browser signal. We do not alter our behaviour based on DNT alone, but we respect all choices you make through our consent banner or the GPC signal described above.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), we make the following disclosures about our use of cookies and tracking technologies:
For full details of your CCPA/CPRA rights (access, deletion, correction, portability, opt-out), see our Privacy Policy — Section 9: California Residents.
This website is directed exclusively at adults aged 18 and over. While The Family Code is a parenting and family guidance app, the website itself — and the newsletter subscription, analytics, and other data processing described in this policy — is designed for, and intended to be used by, parents and adult caregivers only.
COPPA (15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506) prohibits the online collection of personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted information to us, please contact privacy@the-family-code.com.
Under GDPR Art. 8 and the Polish Act on Personal Data Protection (implementing legislation), consent given by a child under 16 (the default EU threshold; Poland has not lowered this) for information society services is only lawful if given or authorised by a parent or guardian. This website is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly process their data. If you are under 16, please do not use this website or submit any personal information.
Note: The mobile app (The Family Code app) has separate terms and privacy practices that specifically address how parents enter and manage information about their children within the app. That processing is governed by the app's Privacy Policy, not this Cookie Policy.
We review this Cookie Policy at least once a year and whenever our cookie practices change. If we introduce new cookies that require your consent, we will present a fresh consent request before setting them. Material changes will be notified via a prominent notice on our website. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy, wish to exercise your data subject rights, or want to withdraw your consent, please contact our Data Controller:
