What are cookies?

Cookies are small information files placed by the websites you visit that are stored in the browser of the device you use to access the Internet (for example, your computer or mobile phone). These files help the website remember information about your visit and make your next visit easier: maintaining the actions and preferences of Users for a certain period of time, maintaining or recognizing your username, the language in which you prefer to browse the site or other settings.

Cookies can be classified taking into account various criteria.

Considering their purpose, cookies can be:

(a) Strictly necessary cookies – These cookies are necessary to ensure the functioning of the website and/or to ensure the availability of features that are requested by the user, or to save your preferences regarding navigation on the website, whenever you use the same device and so request.

(b) Personalization cookies – These cookies are non-essential (not necessary for the operation of the website, but may improve its performance) and are used to personalize the user's browsing experience. Some of these cookies may transfer data outside the European Economic Area ("EEA").

(c) Analytical cookies – These cookies are non-essential and collect statistical information in order to help website owners analyze their use and better understand their visitors' engagement with the websites. Another function for which these cookies can be used, in conjunction with some advertising cookies, is to allow us to measure the interactions with the ads we display. Some of these cookies may transfer data outside the EEA.

(d) Advertising cookies – These cookies are non-essential and aim to make advertising more attractive to users and advertisers by selecting advertising on the basis of what is relevant to the user, in order to improve reporting on campaign performance and avoid showing advertisements that the user has already seen or marked as not being relevant. Some of these cookies may transfer data outside the EEA.

(e) Session cookies - these cookies are temporary and are deleted from the cookie file upon or shortly after closure of the browser or application used to access the Platform. Through this type of cookie it is possible, for example, to analyze web traffic patterns, allowing us to identify problems, safeguard security and provide a better browsing experience.

(f) Permanent cookies - unlike session cookies, these are not deleted upon closure of the browser or application, and remain stored on the User's devices. They are used whenever a new visit to the website is made, allowing us, for example, to personalize the browsing experience according to the interests of the User and to provide a more individualized service.

Considering the entity that places the cookies, they may be classified as follows:

(a) First-party cookies – are sent to the User's device through equipment or domains managed by EDP and from which the service requested by the User is provided.

(b) Third-party cookies – are sent to the User's device from a device or domain managed by a third party over which EDP has no control. In such cases, the third party may process the data collected through cookies and EDP may not have the ability to configure their operation.
