Cookies are small pieces of data a site stores in your browser. Here's exactly what My Family Tree uses — no hidden trackers, no ad cookies.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
ft_session | Keeps you signed in. Without it, the app can't tell who you are. | Up to 30 days, or until you log out |
This cookie is strictly necessary for the service to function, so it's set regardless of your analytics choice below.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
Cloudflare Turnstile (cf_clearance and related) | Verifies a real person, not a bot, is submitting the contact form or requesting a sign-up code. | Set only on those pages, up to 1 year |
Turnstile only runs on the contact page and the sign-up form — it's never loaded anywhere else in the app. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy for details.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* (Google Analytics) | Helps us understand how the app is used, so we can improve it. Doesn't identify you personally and never sees the contents of your family tree. | Up to 2 years |
These are only set if you click "Accept analytics" in the cookie banner, or below. See Google's Privacy Policy for how Google handles this data.
No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking pixels, no data brokers, no session recording.
