Privacy policy
The privacy of visitors to our website is very important to us. This privacy policy outlines the types of personal information we receive and collect when you visit our website and how we use it. We hope this policy clarifies how we handle your information.
Data Logging
Like many other websites, we collect and use information contained in log files. This information includes your IP (Internet Protocol) address, your ISP (Internet Service Provider), the browser you used to visit our site, the time of your visit, and which pages you visited on our site.
Cookies and Web Beacons
We use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our website. This may include showing a simple popup or providing links to various services we offer, such as forums.
Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators, and providing other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties when required by law or when such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
DoubleClick
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our website. With the DART cookie, Google can display ads based on your visits to other websites on the internet. Users may disable the DART cookie by visiting Google’s Privacy Policy for content and ads.
Cookies and Web Beacons
We use third-party advertising on our website to support maintenance costs. Some of these advertisers may use technologies like cookies and/or web beacons when advertising on our website, sending these advertisers (such as Google through Google AdSense) your personal information including your IP address, ISP, and browser details. This feature is typically used for geotargeting purposes (e.g., showing Lisbon advertisements only to users from Lisbon) or displaying targeted advertisements based on user interests (such as showing cooking advertisements to users who frequently visit culinary websites).

You can disable cookies through your browser settings or by changing the settings in antivirus software tools, such as Norton Internet Security. However, this may change how you interact with our website or other websites. It may affect or prevent you from logging into programmes, websites, or forums on our site and elsewhere.
