We use cookies and similar technologies on our websites and applications to improve your user experience and to enable certain features to function securely. In our mobile and tablet applications, we use tokens that serve a similar purpose to cookies. For simplicity, we refer throughout this policy only to “cookies” and “websites,” but the same principles apply to our apps.

WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHAT ARE THEY FOR?

Cookies are small files containing fragments of information that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other mobile device) when you visit, usually via your web browser. Cookies make the site’s operation smoother and more efficient, and they help the site recognise your device when you return.

We use cookies to store, for example, session identifiers and authentication data so as to ensure both security and a seamless browsing experience. Certain cookies require your prior consent. For that reason, when you first access our site, a banner appears allowing you to grant or refuse your consent.

TYPES OF COOKIES

Cookies can be classified according to their duration, according to which domain sets them, and according to their purpose.

1. Classification by duration

• Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain in your browser until you close it. They store information needed to manage, in a secure manner, the various operations you perform during a browsing session.
• Persistent cookies remain stored in your browser and are used each time you visit the site. These cookies are not automatically deleted when the browser closes and expire after a specified period.

2. Classification by source

• First-party cookies are cookies we set from our own domains in order to provide the service you request.
• Third-party cookies are cookies sent to your device from domains not controlled by us, but by other entities. For example, cookies used by social networks or embedded content such as Google Maps.

3. Classification by purpose

Depending on their purpose, cookies may be divided into four broad categories:

a) Strictly necessary cookies

These are essential to allow access to specific sections of our site and to ensure the correct functioning of the service. Without these cookies, certain services cannot be provided. Generally, user consent is not required to set strictly necessary cookies.

Purpose: Maintain user session and validate access rights to restricted areas.

• Session state
• User identifier
• Session ID
• User access permissions

b) Functionality cookies

These allow advanced features and customisations, such as video playback, live chat, or remembering the preferences that the user selects (for example, language and location). They may be our own or from third parties. Use of these cookies requires your consent.

Purpose: Store browsing preferences and custom configurations.

• Language preference
• User display name (if applicable)
• Navigation preferences (layout, theme, etc.)

c) Performance (analytics) cookies

These cookies, which may be first- or third-party, help quantify visits and traffic sources to measure and improve site performance. They help determine which pages are most and least visited and how visitors navigate the site. All data collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. Use of these cookies requires your consent.

Purpose: Analyze usage statistics and produce anonymous usage reports.

• Number of visits
• Anonymous user identifier
• Time of access
• Referring URL
• Geographical region of access

d) Marketing (advertising) cookies

These cookies, which may be first- or third-party, tailor advertisements to the user’s interests and limit the number of times the same ad is shown. They can store information about browsing behaviour to create a profile for targeted advertising. Use of these cookies requires your consent.

Purpose: Present targeted advertisements based on anonymised behavioural data.

• Pages viewed by the user
• Date and time of visits
• Geographical region of access
• Number of repeat visits to the site

HOW TO MANAGE COOKIES

1. Cookie banner

When you first visit our site, you will see a banner that allows you to enable or disable categories of cookies (functionality, performance, and marketing). Your preferences are saved, and we will request your consent again on an annual basis to ensure you stay informed of any changes to our Cookies Policy or Privacy Policy. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled.

After setting your preferences, you may revise them at any time by clicking “Manage cookie preferences” in the footer of our site.

2. Browser settings

All web browsers allow you to accept, reject, or delete cookies via the privacy or security settings. Disabling cookies may cause some internet services to function improperly, thereby partially or fully affecting the site’s navigation and features.

For further information, consult the support pages of your browser (in English or Portuguese):

• Chrome

• Internet Explorer / Edge

• Safari

For other browsers, please consult the “Help” menu or contact the browser vendor directly.

3. Other websites

Our site may contain links to other websites or applications, including those of our partners. If you click on any of those links, please note that each site or app has its own Cookies Policy which we do not control. Always read the Cookies Policy of any third-party site before using it.
