Cookie Policy
This policy explains browser preference storage and the services used by the recicla-me website.
Last updated: 7 September 2026
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help recognise preferences, maintain functionality, strengthen security, measure performance and support improvements to the browsing experience.
2. Storage used on this website
When you choose Portuguese or English, the website saves that choice in your browser's localStorage, under recicla-me-locale. The preference remains until you change it or delete the website's data. The site does not include advertising scripts or audience analytics tools.
Depending on the technical infrastructure used for hosting and delivery, equivalent technologies may also be used for protection, caching, abuse prevention and performance optimisation.
3. Purposes
The saved preference is only used to remember your chosen language. Without a saved choice, the website uses your browser language and time zone as an approximation to select a version, without querying an external IP location service.
4. Third-party cookies
Some features, technical integrations or external content may rely on third parties. In those cases, those third parties may set their own cookies or equivalent technologies according to their respective policies.
When you follow external links, including to ChatGPT or other websites, the subsequent processing is no longer covered by this policy.
5. Managing preferences
You can change the language in the menu and remove the preference in your browser's website data settings. The site remains accessible when storage is blocked, but your choice may not be remembered on a future visit.
6. Legal basis
Where legally required, the use of non-essential cookies depends on your consent. Strictly necessary cookies may be used on the basis of the legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure website.
7. Updates
This policy may be revised whenever there are relevant technical, operational or legal changes. The version published on the website will be the version in force.
