Cookies Policy
By using this website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this Policy.
In this text, Pinto Lopes Viagens details the information regarding the cookies used on the website, as well as the purposes for their use.
This website may also contain links – namely for sharing on social networks – to other websites or applications including, for example, those that are the responsibility of the usual partners, such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube or Google. If the user accesses any of these sites through one of these links, they must bear in mind that the respective Cookies Policies are the sole responsibility of the entities that manage them. For this reason, the user should read the Cookies Policies of these other platforms or applications before using them.
1. UNDERSTANDING COOKIES
Cookies are small text files with relevant information, which your access device (computer, mobile phone/smartphone or tablet) loads, through the internet browser (browser), when a website is visited by the user.
The placement of cookies will not only help the website recognise the user’s device the next time they visit it, but will also often be essential for its functioning.
The cookies used by Pinto Lopes Viagens never collect personal information that allows the user to be identified. They only store generic information, namely the method or location/country of users’ access and how they use the website, among other information. Cookies only retain information related to your preferences.
The user can, at any time, and through their internet browser, decide to be notified about the receipt of cookies. It should be noted, however, that refusing to use cookies on the website will reduce the quality of the digital experience and may even result in the inability to access some of the website’s pages.
2. COOKIES FUNCTIONALITY
In general, cookies are used to improve the user’s browsing experience, increasing the speed and quality of the website’s response. They also eliminate the need for the user to repeatedly enter the same information and help determine that the advertising messages the user may see are relevant and tailored to their interests, thus improving the usefulness and interest of the digital experience when consulting our website.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKIES:
Each cookie used has a function and a validity, as explained below.
2.1 Regarding their function, the cookies used can be:
2.1.1. Essential cookies: Some cookies are essential for browsing on the website. Without them, the correct display of some website pages may be compromised.
2.1.2. Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the website to provide improved functionality and personalisation by remembering choices the user has made (such as preferred language or geographical location). For example, cookies prevent you from having to enter your name or email address every time you send us a message or make a reservation request using one of our forms. The information these cookies collect is anonymised and can never track your browsing activity on other websites.
2.1.3. Analytical cookies: These cookies are used to analyse how users use the website, allowing us to highlight articles or services that may be of interest to users, and to monitor the performance of the site, knowing which pages are the most popular, which method of linking between pages is the most effective or why some pages are receiving error messages or have no visits. These cookies are used for statistical creation and analysis purposes only, without ever collecting personal information that identifies the user. All the information collected by these cookies is aggregated into non-personal indicators and is therefore anonymous.
2.1.4. Third-Party/Advertising cookies: These are cookies from external entities (third parties), namely Google and the various social networks mentioned above, and which target advertising according to the interests of each user and the number of visits they have made, also allowing the number of times an advertisement is viewed to be limited. These cookies also help measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They may be used by third-party companies to build a profile of the user’s interests, in order to show them relevant advertising from Pinto Lopes Viagens on those same websites. In this case, personal information is never stored either, as these cookies only identify the browser and internet connection device used.
2.2 Regarding their validity, the cookies used can be:
2.2.1. Permanent cookies: These are stored on your access devices (computer, mobile phone/smartphone or tablet), at the browser level, and are used whenever the user visits the website again.
2.2.2. Session cookies: These are temporary, generated in each session and are available until the session is closed. The next time the user accesses their internet browser, these cookies will no longer be stored. The information obtained from these cookies allows us to manage sessions, identify potential problems and provide a better browsing experience.
