Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how CAPSILON BROTHERS Sp. z o.o. (hereinafter: “TachoAngel”, “we”) uses cookies and similar technologies, including the browser’s local storage (localStorage), on the website tachoangel.app (hereinafter: the “Website”), in accordance with the Act of 12 July 2024 – Electronic Communications Law (Prawo komunikacji elektronicznej) and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
Note: This Cookie Policy applies only to the website (the tachoangel.app pages) and does not apply to the TachoAngel mobile app itself. The mobile app does not use cookies – to store local data (e.g. to enable offline use or to remember settings), it uses the mechanisms specific to mobile platforms (the device’s local storage). Data processing in the app is described in the Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files saved on the User’s terminal device (computer, phone, tablet) while the Website is being used. The browser’s local storage (localStorage), in which a website can save information on your device, works in a similar way. They are used to make the website work properly, to remember the User’s preferences and for statistical purposes.
Cookies may be:
- Session cookies – deleted automatically when the web browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies – stored on the device for a specified period or until the User deletes them manually.
- First-party cookies – set directly by our Website (tachoangel.app).
- Third-party cookies – set by external services and tools integrated with the Website (e.g. analytics systems).
2. What we store on your device
2.1. Necessary (no consent) We store only your consent decision, so that we do not ask you for it on every visit and so that your choice is respected. This is not a cookie but an entry in the browser’s local storage. It contains the type of choice, whether you agreed to statistics, and the date and time it was saved. The entry is not sent to us or to anyone else. This storage does not require consent because it is necessary to remember the decision, which is what you ask for.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Retention period | Entity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| tachoangel_cookie_consent | browser local storage (localStorage) | remembering the consent decision and operating the consent banner | until the site data is cleared in the browser or the decision is changed | TachoAngel |
2.2. Statistics (only with consent) If you consent to “Analityczne” (“Analytics”), the Website loads Google Analytics 4. The tool stores cookies with a random, pseudonymous identifier in your browser and sends Google information about the Website pages you visit, about your device and browser, and about your approximate location determined from your IP address. We use these data only in the form of aggregated traffic statistics, to improve the Website. Without your consent, the Google Analytics script is not loaded and does not store cookies. We do not collect consent to advertising cookies and do not use them.
| Name | Purpose | Retention period | Entity |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | distinguishing visitors by means of a pseudonymous identifier for traffic statistics | 2 years | Google Ireland Limited |
| _ga_FHKNQX6BDG | maintaining the session state and recording activity during the visit | 2 years | as above |
On the Website’s pages without a consent banner (the versions of the terms in English, Romanian, German, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Slovak and Czech), we do not load Google Analytics and do not store any cookies or local storage entries.
3. Google Analytics – additional information
Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited, which processes the data as a processor under the Google Ads Data Processing Terms. The data may be transferred to and stored on servers in the United States (outside the European Economic Area – EEA). The transfer is based on the European Commission’s decision finding an adequate level of protection under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, to the extent not covered by that decision, on the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission. Google Analytics retains event-level data for 2 months and user-level data for 14 months from your last activity on the Website. These periods do not apply to aggregated reports, which do not allow you to be identified.

4. Legal basis
- Storing the consent decision: Article 399(3) of the Electronic Communications Law (storage necessary to provide a service by electronic means that you request – remembering your choice); the information about your decision does not leave the browser.
- Statistics cookies (Google Analytics): your consent – Article 399(1) of the Electronic Communications Law in conjunction with Article 400 of that Act, and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, given in the consent banner.
We do not make any automated decisions about you on the basis of cookie data, including decisions based on profiling, that would produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you.
5. Changing or withdrawing consent and browser settings
You can withdraw or change your consent to statistics cookies at any time using the “Ustawienia cookies” (“Cookie settings”) link in the Website footer. The link reopens the consent banner: to withdraw consent, select “Tylko niezbędne” (“Necessary only”), or untick “Analityczne” and select “Zapisz ustawienia” (“Save settings”). Google Analytics then stops working and its cookies are deleted from your browser. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.
Regardless of the decisions made on our website, you can change your cookie settings directly in your web browser at any time (including blocking cookies from being stored altogether or deleting existing cookies and site data). Instructions for the most popular browsers are below:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences / Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Cookies and site permissions
Note: deleting site data also deletes the record of your consent decision; the banner will appear again on your next visit.
6. Changes to the Cookie Policy
We may change this Cookie Policy, e.g. as a result of changes in the law or technical changes to the Website. The date of the latest version of the document is shown at the very top of the page.
