1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, improve the user experience and provide information to website owners.
Cookies may be "persistent" (they remain on your device until deleted or they expire) or "session" cookies (they are deleted when you close your browser). They may also be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties that provide content or services on the website ("third-party cookies").
In addition to traditional cookies, parabrisas.pt also uses the browser's localStorage to store your cookie consent preferences. localStorage works similarly to cookies, but the data is not sent to the server with each request and does not have an automatic expiration date.
2. Types of Cookies Used
The parabrisas.pt website uses the following types of cookies and storage technologies:
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Without them, certain basic functionalities would not be available. They do not require your consent, in accordance with Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.
- Cookie consent preference: we store your cookie consent choice in the browser's localStorage, to ensure that your preferences are respected on subsequent visits and that the cookie banner is not displayed repeatedly.
2.2 Analytical Cookies
These cookies allow us to understand how visitors use the website, which pages are most visited and how they arrive at our website. All information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They are used only with your prior consent.
- Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited): we use Google Analytics to collect statistical data on website usage, including the number of visitors, pages viewed, session duration and traffic source. IP addresses are anonymised.
2.3 Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to display relevant advertising to website visitors. They may be used to limit the number of times an advert is shown, measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and personalise adverts based on the user's interests. They are used only with your prior consent.
- Google AdSense (Google Ireland Limited): we use Google AdSense to display adverts on the website. This service may use cookies to display personalised advertising based on your browsing history and interests.
