Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 27, 2026
Contents
This website uses cookies for one purpose only: measuring page audience through Google Analytics — and only if you consent to it. We use no advertising, marketing or profiling cookies, and we set no analytics cookie before you give us that permission.
This policy explains which cookies are set, for what purpose and for how long, what the site stores in your browser that is not a cookie, and how to change or withdraw your decision at any time. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Portuguese Law No. 41/2004 of 18 August (privacy in electronic communications).
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website, usually so it can recognise you across pages or across visits. Similar technologies — such as the browser’s local storage and session storage — can serve comparable purposes, so this policy holds them to the same standard.
Which cookies we use
Audience analytics cookies, and none other. They are set by Google Analytics, and only after you accept the consent strip shown to you before any collection takes place.
| Cookie | Controller | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors, so visits and sessions can be counted. | Up to 2 years. |
_ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Maintains analytics session state for the measurement property. | Up to 2 years. |
We use no advertising, marketing or profiling cookies, and we neither sell nor share browsing data with third parties.
If you decline, none of these cookies is set and the site keeps working in full — audience analytics is the only thing lost.
Who processes this data
For this purpose, Google acts as a processor under the Google Analytics terms of service. Google’s own processing, including any international data transfers, is governed by Google’s terms and privacy policy. We use no other measurement, statistics or tracking tool.
Every other resource on the site — fonts, images, scripts and stylesheets — is served from our own domain.
What we store in your browser
Besides the cookies above, the site stores up to three keys in your browser’s storage. These are not cookies: they stay on your device, are never sent to us or to anyone else, and cannot be used to follow your browsing.
| Key | Where | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
theme | Local storage | Keeps the light or dark theme you picked in the site’s toggle. | Until you clear site data. |
wm-intro-seen | Session storage | Stops the home page intro animation repeating. | Cleared when the tab closes. |
wm-cookie-consent | Local storage | Records your answer to the consent strip, so it isn’t asked twice. | Until you clear site data. |
When each one is written matters, so to be concrete: theme is written only when you actively switch between light and dark — touch the toggle never and nothing is written; wm-intro-seen is written on the first opening of the home page in each tab, and only on that page; wm-cookie-consent is written when you answer the consent strip.
Legal basis
Storing information on a user’s terminal equipment requires consent, except where that information is strictly necessary to provide a service the user has explicitly requested (Article 5(3) of Law No. 41/2004).
- Audience analytics cookies do not fall under that exception, so they rest on your consent, collected before anything is set and freely withdrawable.
- The three browser-storage keys do fall under it: they exist because you explicitly asked for a different theme, because you should not see the same interface element twice, or because you answered this very question. None identifies, tracks or profiles visitors, and none leaves your device.
Changing or withdrawing consent
Your decision is saved and can be changed whenever you want, via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of any page. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and does not affect how the site works.
How to delete what is stored
- Clear this site’s data — your browser’s privacy settings (“Clear browsing data” or “Site data”) remove the cookies and keys above.
- Close the tab — enough to clear
wm-intro-seen. - Block storage — the site works in full with cookies and storage blocked. You lose only the memory of the theme you picked.
Changes to this Policy
This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in applicable law. Changes will be published on this page, with a revised update date.
