Cookie Policy

Last updated: 02/08/2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our website, and how you can manage or disable them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, mobile phone or tablet) when you visit a website. They are used to improve your browsing experience, save your preferences and collect statistical data.

2. What type of cookies do we use?

On our website, we use the following types of cookies:

a) Essential cookies

  • These are necessary for the website to function.
  • They enable basic features such as access to secure areas, the shopping basket and the checkout.

b) Performance cookies

  • These collect information on how visitors use the website (for example, the most visited pages).
  • Used for statistical analysis and to improve the website's performance.

c) Functionality cookies

  • These enable us to remember your preferences (such as language and location).

d) Marketing/advertising cookies

  • Used to target advertising based on your interests.
  • They may be set by third parties (e.g. Google, Facebook).

3. Our use of cookies

When you browse our website, we use cookies to recognise your browser, either for the duration of your visit (session cookie) or across all your visits (persistent cookie).

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies may be set by external services (such as payment platforms, social media platforms and analytics services). These third parties have their own cookie policies, over which we have no direct control.

5. Consent to the use of cookies

When you access our website, a consent banner is displayed, as required by Law No. 41/2004 of 18 August, as currently in force, and by the GDPR.

  • You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies or customise your preferences.
  • Your consent is stored and can be withdrawn at any time.

6. How to manage or disable cookies?

You can change your cookie settings in your browser's preferences:

  • Google Chrome: chrome://settings/content/cookies
  • Mozilla Firefox: about:preferences#privacy
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy
  • Microsoft Edge: edge://settings/content/cookies

⚠️ Disabling cookies may affect some of the website's features.

7. Cookie retention period

This depends on the type of cookie and its purpose. The law (the GDPR and Decree-Law No. 41/2004 of 18 August, as currently worded) requires that cookies be stored only for the period strictly necessary, in pratical terms:

  • Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser.
  • Analytics cookies: up to 24 months.
  • Marketing/advertising cookies: up to 13 months (The CNPD has published an information note on cookies (2021) to clarify obligations and set out guidelines, but this note does not specify specific retention periods for marketing/advertising cookies. The CNPD requires that data subjects be informed about cookies, that consent be freely given, specific and informed, and that only non-essential cookies be activated subject to consent.)

We reserve the right to amend this Cookie Policy. Any changes will be duly published on this page, along with the date of the last update.
