Last updated: January 2026
This Cookie Policy has been drafted in compliance with Portuguese Law No. 41/2004, of 18 August (as amended by Law No. 46/2012, of 29 August), which transposes Directive 2002/58/EC (the ePrivacy Directive), and with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
1. What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to ensure websites function correctly, to improve the user experience, and to provide information to the site owner. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting itself (first-party cookies) or by third parties whose services are integrated into the website (third-party cookies).
2. Legal Basis for Cookie Use
Under Article 5 of Portuguese Law No. 41/2004 (as amended by Law No. 46/2012), storing cookies on your device requires your prior, informed and unambiguous consent, except where cookies are strictly necessary for the provision of a service expressly requested by the user. Consent for cookies is given freely, specifically and on an informed basis, through a clear affirmative action (under Article 4(11) and Article 7 of the GDPR). Merely using browser settings does not constitute valid consent.
