Cookies & similartechnologies.

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. They are widely used to make sites work, remember preferences, and provide information to the site owner about how the site is used. This page also covers similar technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage and the like) that browsers expose to websites.

Cookie use in the EU is regulated by the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) as transposed into Portuguese law by Lei n.º 41/2004, alongside the consent rules in GDPR.

We try to use as little client-side state as we can. The current site does not set any third-party advertising cookies, social-network tracking pixels, or cross-site analytics identifiers. What is set, and why:

Strictly necessary

• Session cookies set by our edge provider (Cloudflare) for security purposes, for example to recognise and challenge abusive request patterns. These are exempt from prior consent under Article 5(3) ePrivacy.
• localStorage entries used by interactive features to remember your in-page choices, notably the product configurator’s current finish and fabric selection. Set on first interaction, scoped to your browser, never sent to our servers.

Functional

• Locale preference, where you choose to switch language; stored so that the next visit lands on the correct locale.

Analytics & marketing

We use a first-party, server-side analytics endpoint that records anonymised page views and aggregate events. It does not set a cookie or any other client-side identifier. We do not use Google Analytics, Meta pixels or any other third-party tag manager.

Under EU law, prior consent is required for cookies and similar technologies that are not strictly necessary to deliver the service you have asked for. Because the current site only sets strictly-necessary and functional storage described above, no consent banner is presented.

If we add non-essential cookies in the future (for example, third-party embeds or measurement cookies), we will introduce a consent banner at that time, with granular controls and a clearly accessible link back to this page.

You can manage and delete cookies through your browser settings. Help pages for the major browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may make parts of the site behave unexpectedly. For example, the configurator may not remember your selection between sessions.

We update this policy when the site’s storage practices change or when the law evolves. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page reflects the most recent material revision.
