Cookie policy

This Cookie Policy is a document that complements the Privacy Policy of encurtador.dev, available at this link. Here you will find clear and objective information about what cookies are, which cookies we use in our applications, what role they play and how to configure them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files or fragments of information downloaded to your computer, smartphone or any other internet-enabled device when you visit our application.
They contain information about your navigation on our pages and retain only information related to your preferences.

This way, the page can store and retrieve data about your browsing habits in order to improve the user experience, for example. It is important to stress that they do not contain specific personal information, such as sensitive or banking data.

Your browser stores cookies on the hard drive, but they take up a minimal amount of memory that does not affect your computer's performance. Most of the information is deleted as soon as the session ends, as you will see in the next topic.

1.1. Types of cookies

Cookies, in terms of their owners, may be:

First-party cookies: cookies set by us or by third parties on our behalf. Third-party cookies: cookies set by trusted third parties in our application. Cookies, in terms of their lifetime, may be:

Session or temporary cookies: cookies that expire as soon as you close your browser, ending the session. Persistent or permanent cookies: cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. Cookies, in terms of their purpose, may be:

Necessary cookies: essential cookies that make navigation in our applications and access to all features possible; without them, our services may perform poorly or not work at all. Performance cookies: cookies that optimise how our applications work by collecting anonymous information about the pages visited. Functionality cookies: cookies that remember your preferences and choices (such as your username). Advertising cookies: cookies that target ads based on your interests and limit how many times an ad appears.

2. Why do we use cookies?

encurtador.dev uses cookies to provide the best user experience, making our applications easier and more personalised based on your choices and browsing behaviour.

We therefore seek to understand how you use our applications and to adjust the content to make it more relevant to you, as well as to remember your preferences.

Cookies take part in this process because they store, read and execute the data needed to fulfil that goal.

3. What types of cookies do we use?

Below we list every cookie that may be used by encurtador.dev. It is worth remembering that you can manage the permission granted to each cookie in your browser.

In addition, since cookies capture data about you, we recommend reading our Privacy Policy, available at this link (link to the privacy policy).

Essential cookies - Some cookies are essential for accessing specific areas of our site. They allow navigation on the site and the use of its applications, such as reaching secure areas through login. Without these cookies, the services that require them cannot be provided.

Analytics cookies - We use these cookies to analyse how users use the site and to monitor its performance. This lets us deliver a high-quality experience by personalising what we offer and quickly identifying and fixing any problems that arise. For example, we use performance cookies to learn which pages are the most popular, which method of linking between pages is the most effective, or to determine why some pages are returning error messages. Based on site usage, we may also use these cookies to highlight articles or services on the site that we think will interest users. These cookies are used only for statistical creation and analysis, and never collect personal information.

Functionality cookies - We use functionality cookies to remember user preferences. For example, cookies avoid typing the username every time a user reaches the site. We also use functionality cookies to provide advanced services to the user, such as commenting on an article. In short, functionality cookies store the user's preferences regarding the use of the site, so there is no need to configure the site again on every visit.

Third-party cookies - These measure the success of applications and the effectiveness of third-party advertising on our site.

Advertising cookies - These target advertising based on each user's interests and the number of visits made, which makes it possible to limit how many times an ad is shown. These cookies help measure the effectiveness of advertising.

The cookies used may be:

Persistent cookies - These are stored in the browser on your access devices (PC, mobile and tablet) and are used every time you make a new visit to the site. They are generally used to guide navigation according to the user's interests, allowing us to provide a more personalised service.

Session cookies - These are temporary and remain in your browser's cookies until you leave the site. The information obtained makes it possible to identify problems and provide a better browsing experience.

After authorising the use of cookies, the user may always disable some or all of our cookies.

All browsers allow the user to accept, refuse or delete cookies, particularly by selecting the appropriate settings in the browser itself. You can configure cookies in the 'options' or 'preferences' menu of your browser.

Note that disabling cookies may prevent some web services from working correctly, partly or completely affecting navigation on the website.

We remind you that by disabling cookies, parts of our site may not work correctly.

5. Managing cookies

The installation of cookies is subject to your consent. Although most browsers are initially set to accept cookies automatically, you can review your permissions at any time in order to block them, accept them or enable notifications for when certain cookies are sent to your device.

Currently, the first time you reach our applications you will be asked to agree to their installation. They are only activated after you accept.

To that end, we use an (information banner or another mechanism that warns and requests consent) system on the home page of encurtador.dev. In this way we not only request your agreement, but also inform you that continued navigation on our sites will be understood as consent.

As already stated, you may at any time and at no cost change permissions, block or refuse cookies. You may also configure them case by case. However, revoking consent for certain cookies may prevent some platform features from working correctly.

To manage your browser's cookies, simply do so directly in the browser settings, in the cookie management area.

6. Final provisions

For encurtador.dev, privacy and trust are fundamental to our relationship with you. We are always updating ourselves to maintain the highest security standards

We therefore reserve the right to change this Cookie Policy at any time. Changes take effect right after publication, and you will be notified.

By continuing to browse our applications after that change becomes effective, you agree to it. We advise you to always check this Policy, as well as our Privacy Policy.
