The site is an informational resource for fathers and families in Los Angeles and across California. It does not sell goods, and cookies on it are not used to build advertising profiles.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They allow the site to remember information between pages or between visits, such as your preferences or whether you have already seen a notice. Cookies are not programs and cannot access other files on your device.

Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Others remain on your device until they expire or until you remove them yourself. A cookie set by the site you are visiting is called a first-party cookie; one set by a service the page loads from elsewhere is a third-party cookie. The distinction matters mainly because third-party cookies are the ones you usually cannot see in your browser's own cookie list for this domain.

You can usually view, block, or delete cookies from your browser's settings, and most browsers explain which files a site has stored. Nothing on this site requires you to accept a cookie in order to read a page.

Cookies do not track what you do away from this site. They only help a page remember what you told it.

We do not use cookies to serve advertising on this site.

Cookies we use

This site uses cookies that are necessary for it to function correctly, such as remembering your session state and your cookie preferences. If we use analytics cookies to understand which pages are visited, they collect aggregated information and are not used to identify you personally.

Necessary cookies

These keep the site working: they remember your session while you move between pages and store the cookie choices you have made. Without them, parts of the site, including the contact form, may not behave correctly.

Analytics cookies

If used, these tell us which pages are read and roughly how visitors move through the site. The results are aggregated: they help us improve the guides and program pages, and they are not used to identify you personally.

Advertising cookies

We do not use cookies to serve advertising on this site, and we do not set cookies to follow you across other websites. If that ever changes, this page will be updated before any such cookie is set.

Third-party cookies

Some pages may include content or functionality provided by third parties, such as embedded maps or form services. Those providers may set their own cookies when you interact with their content. We do not control those cookies, and we cannot read or change what they store.

If you want details about what a third party stores, review the privacy and cookie policies published by that provider. Blocking third-party cookies in your browser is one way to limit them without affecting the rest of this site. Because third-party embeds only load on the pages that use them, most pages here set nothing beyond the necessary cookies described above.

Managing cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete cookies after each session. The setting you choose applies to every site you visit in that browser, not only this one.

Blocking necessary cookies may prevent parts of this site from working, including forms. If you contact us through the form and cookies are blocked, you can email us instead at [email protected].

Where required, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies, and you can withdraw that consent at any time by changing your browser settings or your preferences on this site. Necessary cookies are set on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a functional website.

  1. Open your browser's settings and find the section for privacy, site data, or cookies.

    The name differs between browsers; look for the entry that lists what sites have stored on your device.

  2. Decide whether to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or keep the current setting.

    Blocking third-party cookies is the lighter option: it limits outside embeds while leaving the site's own session handling intact.

  3. Clear what is already stored, then reload this page to see how it behaves.

    If a form stops working after you clear everything, switch to email rather than turning cookies back on across every site.

  4. Revisit this page after an update if you want to check what the current policy says.

    The version published here is always the one in effect, and we replace it rather than keeping older drafts.

Common questions

Short answers to the cookie questions visitors ask most often. If yours is not covered here, write to us and we will add it.

Do I have to accept cookies to read this site?

No. The pages are readable without accepting anything. Consent is only asked for non-essential cookies where it is required, and you can decline and still use the site.

Will a necessary cookie stop working if I block all cookies?

It will not be stored, so the feature that depends on it cannot work. That usually means forms and anything that needs to remember your session. Email us instead if you hit that.

Do analytics cookies identify me?

Not personally. They record which pages are visited and how visitors move between them, and the results are aggregated. They are used to see which guides are useful, not to attach a name or contact detail to your visit.

How do I know if this policy changed?

The version on this page is always the one in effect. When the way we use cookies changes, we replace the text here rather than keeping older copies online.
