What are cookies?
Cookies are small files or identifiers that may be stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels or device identifiers, can perform equivalent functions.
They may be used to maintain a session, save preferences, improve security, measure the use of a page or enable features provided by third parties.
CONSENT
When is it required?
In Portugal, storing or accessing information on a user's device generally requires prior informed consent. The law provides an exception for operations that are strictly necessary to transmit a communication or provide a service explicitly requested by the user.

Security, technical operation, session management and storage of choices made in the consent manager.

Remember user choices or enable additional features that are not strictly necessary.
Analytics and performanceOptional
Help understand, in aggregated or identifiable form depending on the tool, how the website is used and which pages or features need improvement.
Marketing and campaign measurementOptional

External content and servicesOptional
Videos, maps or other embedded elements may communicate with third-party servers and use cookies or similar technologies.
EXTERNAL SERVICES
Videos, maps and platforms.
Some pages use external services to display content. These providers may process IP addresses, device information and other technical identifiers in accordance with their own policies.
Where implemented, videos use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode through youtube-nocookie.com. Loading or interacting with the content may still involve processing by Google/YouTube.
The Contacts page may display Google Maps within the website. Loading the map may involve communication with Google and the use of technical identifiers.
Links to Instagram, Facebook and YouTube open those platforms. Once you leave this website, the privacy policies and choices of those platforms apply.
YOUR CONTROL
Manage or withdraw consent.
You can change your choice at any time through the website's Cookie Settings area. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent some features from working correctly.
Rejecting optional cookies does not, by itself, prevent access to the website's essential content.
DURATION
Session and persistent.
Some cookies are deleted when you close your browser; others remain for a defined period. Exact durations depend on purpose and provider. Where possible, that duration is shown in the Cookie Settings panel.
THIRD PARTIES
Providers and transfers.
External services may act as independent controllers or processors and, in some cases, process data outside the European Economic Area. Where applicable, appropriate transfer mechanisms and safeguards must be in place under the GDPR.
UPDATES
An evolving policy.
This policy may be updated when the technologies used, providers or legal requirements change. The date of the version in force is shown at the top of this page.
