Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies and similar technologies are used on the MAPV Advogados website, the purposes for which they are used and how you may manage your preferences.

This Policy supplements the Privacy Policy, which should be consulted for detailed information on the processing of your personal data.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet or mobile phone when you visit a website. They are widely used to enable websites to work, to make browsing more efficient and to provide information to those responsible for the website.

In addition to cookies, other similar technologies may be used, such as browser local storage, which serve equivalent purposes and to which the rules described in this Policy apply.

Which cookies do we use?

The MAPV Advogados website uses a small number of cookies. We do not use advertising, profiling, audience analytics or social media cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to work and for the provision of the services you request from us, and cannot be switched off in our systems. Under applicable law, their use does not require prior consent.

• Session and shopping cart cookies (woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart, wp_woocommerce_session_*) — these store the services you add to your cart and allow the order and payment process to be completed. Duration: session up to 48 hours.
• Language cookie (trp_language) — remembers the language, Portuguese or English, in which you chose to view the website. Duration: up to 1 year.
• Cookie preferences cookie (mapv_cookie_consent) — records the decision you made regarding the use of non-essential cookies, so that the notice is not shown to you again on every visit. Duration: 6 months.
• Authentication cookies (wordpress_logged_in_*, wp-settings-*) — set only if you access a restricted area using credentials, allowing your session to be kept open and display preferences to be remembered. Duration: session up to 1 year.

Third-party cookies subject to consent

These cookies are only set with your prior consent and may be refused without any detriment to your use of the website.

• Google Maps — the contacts page includes a map provided by Google, which allows the office to be located. When the map is loaded, Google may set its own cookies and collect data, in particular your IP address and information about your device and browser, with a possible transfer outside the European Economic Area. Until you give your consent, the map is not loaded; the office address and a link to view the map on Google's website are shown instead.

For information on the processing of personal data by Google, please see its privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

How to manage your preferences

On your first visit to the website you are shown a notice allowing you to accept or reject the use of non-essential cookies. Rejecting them does not prevent you from using the website or accessing any content or service, except for viewing the map referred to above.

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time, as easily as you gave it, using the following link: Manage cookie preferences.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of the consent previously given.

Browser settings

You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies, including strictly necessary ones. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the proper functioning of the website, in particular the ability to purchase services.

Configuration instructions are available on the support pages of the main browsers, namely Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari and Opera.

Changes to this Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated whenever necessary, in particular as a result of legislative, regulatory or technological changes or changes to the services provided. We recommend that you check this page periodically for the most recent version.
