Cookie Policy
Which cookies and local storage this site uses, why, and how to manage your consent.
Last updated:
This policy describes the cookies and other device storage technologies (such as localStorage) used on this site, under Portuguese Law no. 41/2004 of 18 August, as amended by Law no. 46/2012 of 29 August, and the GDPR.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. localStorage and sessionStorage are browser storage areas with a similar function. Only those strictly necessary for the site to work or for a service you requested may be used without your consent; all others require your prior permission.
2. How this site uses them
- The site’s own statistics work without cookies and without storing your IP address.
- The forms’ anti-spam protection does not use cookies.
- Google tools (Google Analytics 4) use “Consent Mode”: before consent they only send cookieless signals; analytics cookies are only set after you accept.
- No cookies are used for third-party personalised advertising.
