This Cookie Policy must be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy. To facilitate navigation on the website (hereinafter, "website"), C. Santos - Veículos e Peças, S.A. ("CSVP"), VAT No. 500 035 679, with registered office at Rua do Proletariado, no. 18, 2790-138 Carnaxide, as its owner, informs that it uses cookies or other data storage and retrieval devices with similar functionality (hereinafter, "cookies").

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are files containing small amounts of information, downloaded to the user's device when visiting a web page, which enable the identification of said access device, as well as the pages and elements accessed, aiming to provide a better browsing experience.

Cookies are essential for the operation of the Internet, as they provide technical solutions that allow users to navigate different websites; they cannot damage the user's equipment/device and may be used to identify and resolve potential errors in the platform's operation. They may also be used for advertising or analytical purposes.

The cookies used on the website do not collect personal information that allows the user to be identified, storing only generic information, namely the form or location/country of access and the way the website is used.

USE OF COOKIES

Specifically, we use cookies set by us – known as first-party cookies – generated directly by this domain – and third-party cookies – which are cookies from a different domain, generated from other websites owned by third-party companies.

More specifically, we use cookies and other tracking technologies for the following purposes:

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function, allowing users to browse the site and use its various options or services, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, starting and maintaining user login, preventing fraudulent use of login credentials, and using security elements during navigation. These cookies are not intended to collect personal information from users or for marketing purposes.

CSVP does not require the user’s consent to install these cookies on their device, as their use is based on the necessity to provide the services requested by the users. Users may configure their browser to disable or block all cookies, but some features of the website may not function properly.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies allow the website to remember the user's preferences, so that the site does not need to be reconfigured each time they visit. They personalize each user's browsing experience, such as language settings, geographical location, or text size. These cookies may collect some personal information, such as the user’s Internet Protocol (IP) address.

Users can customize their browsing features (e.g., selecting the website's language), in which case these cookies are considered a service expressly requested by the user and will therefore be used solely for that selected purpose without requiring explicit consent. Users can opt not to allow functionality cookies, but some website features may not work properly in such cases.

Analytical Cookies

These cookies collect information about how the website is used. Their function is to obtain statistics and reports on website performance, understand user behavior during browsing, and analyze their preferences. The purpose of these cookies includes improving the website's functionality and optimizing the user experience. Analytical cookies help CSVP determine, for example, the number of daily visits to the website, which pages are most or least popular, visit duration, error messages on web pages, or which buttons users click on. Some of the information collected by these cookies is aggregated and, therefore, anonymous.

These cookies are only installed on the user's device with prior and explicit consent.

Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to track user browsing for the purpose of displaying personalized ads relevant to the user and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They may be set through our website by our advertising partners. These companies may use them to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other websites. They do not directly store personal information, but are based on the unique identification of your browser and internet device.

These cookies are only placed on the user’s device once accepted. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

Third-party services (such as YouTube videos, “social plugins,” or website tools and controllers) may be used on the website and may collect user information regarding their navigation on the pages. When visiting publications containing such content, cookies from these third-party websites may be created. We have no control over the spread of these cookies, so we recommend accessing the privacy and cookie policies of these third-party websites for an informed browsing experience.
