Cookie Policy
Version 4 · 01/10/2026. This version is being updated; for any question, write to dd@doingdigital.me. This is an English translation for convenience; the Portuguese version prevails.
What cookies are, plainly
A cookie is a small file a website stores on your computer or phone to remember something. Some are essential for the website to work. Others are used to count visits or show advertising. The difference between them is not technical: it is what is done with them, and that is why the law treats them differently.
The rule we follow
Portuguese law (Article 5 of Law 41/2004) says we may only store information on your device if you have given us prior consent, based on clear information. The only exception is what is strictly necessary to deliver the website you asked for.
In practice: when you arrive on this website, only what is strictly necessary is stored. No measurement, no advertising, until you say yes. If you say no, the website works just the same. It simply runs without the measurement part, and we do not find out you were here. You can change your mind whenever you like, in either direction.
What we use, and what for
Strictly necessary, which do not ask for permission
They store your cookie choice, so we do not ask you again on every page, and the language you read the website in. They only serve to deliver what you asked for, and so the law exempts them from consent.
| Name | Set by | What for | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| dd_consent | This website | Records your cookie choice, the date and a reference number. It is also kept in the browser's local storage. | 6 months |
| wglang | Weglot SAS | Remembers the language you chose to read the website in | Session: deleted when you close your browser |
Measurement, which only load if you allow them
They tell us how many people visit the website and which pages they read. We use this to decide what to write next, not to identify you. Before your yes, the website's consent script loads none of these tools.
| Tool | Provided by | Cookies and durations |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Google Ireland Limited | _ga, distinguishes visitors, 2 years. _ga_WVNFNJSKNH, keeps the session state, 2 years. These are Google's default durations. Each visitor's data is kept in our Google Analytics account for the retention period configured there, at most 14 months, and then deleted automatically. |
| Google Tag Manager | Google Ireland Limited | Loads after your yes, like Google Analytics 4. It does not set cookies of its own. |
Advertising
This website does not currently use advertising cookies. If it ever does, this page will change before the tool goes live, and the notice will ask you again.
How to withdraw or change your choice
On the website: click Cookies, at the bottom of any page, and change your choice whenever you like. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it, and from that moment measurement stops loading.
In your browser: every browser lets you block or delete cookies in its privacy settings. If you block the strictly necessary ones, the website stops remembering your choice and your language.
Who processes this data
Who we are, the legal basis on which we process your data and what rights you have are set out in the Privacy Policy.
Changes
If we change the tools we use, this page changes before the new tool goes live, not after.
