Cookie Policy

Last updated: 16 Jul, 2026

1) What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) may also be used. In this Cookie Policy, we refer to all of these as “cookies.”

2) Who we are

Portuguesepedia is a digital, subscription-based language learning service.

Controller (sole proprietorship): Pedro Cesar Coutinho Campos (Enskild näringsverksamhet) Personal/Organization number: 810220-0576 VAT number: SE810220057601 Website: portuguesepedia.com Contact: [email protected]

3) How we use cookies

We use cookies for four main purposes:

  1. Necessary: to make the website work (security, login, basic features).
  2. Functional: to remember choices and improve the user experience.
  3. Analytics: to understand how the site is used and improve it.
  4. Marketing: to measure the effectiveness of advertising and marketing.

4) Consent and cookie settings

If you are in the EU/EEA (and in other locations where consent is required), we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies (such as analytics and marketing cookies).

We use Complianz Privacy Suite (GDPR/CCPA) Premium to manage cookie consent and preferences. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings on the website.

5) Types of cookies we use

A) Necessary cookies (always on)

These cookies are required for the website to function.

Examples include:

  • Security-related cookies
  • Load balancing/performance essentials
  • Login/session cookies for registered users (WordPress)
  • “Remember me” functionality when you choose it on the login form
  • Google reCAPTCHA, used to protect our forms from spam and abuse

Without these cookies, the site (or parts of it) may not work properly.

B) Functional cookies

These cookies help improve the user experience and remember preferences.

Examples may include:

  • Remembering certain user settings
  • Plugin cookies that support site functionality for logged-in users
  • Google Tag Manager, which we use to manage the tags on our site. The Tag Manager container loads on our pages, but the analytics and marketing tags it manages stay blocked until you give the matching consent.

Functional cookies may be used only where necessary for the feature you request, and may require consent depending on your location and applicable law.

C) Analytics cookies

We use analytics to understand how visitors use the site and to improve the service.

  • Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
  • GA4 is deployed through Google Tag Manager and controlled by Google Consent Mode, so analytics data collection is governed by your consent choices.

Typical data involved: pages viewed, approximate location, device/browser information, and interactions.

D) Marketing cookies / pixels

We may use marketing technologies to measure advertising performance.

  • Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel)

Meta Pixel is used to measure marketing performance. It is only loaded after Marketing consent via our Complianz cookie settings (where consent is required).

If you do not consent to Marketing cookies, Meta Pixel will not load.

6) Third parties and service providers

Some cookies are set by third parties we use to operate the site and deliver content.

Relevant providers may include:

  • Google (Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, and Google reCAPTCHA)
  • Meta (Meta Pixel)
  • Stripe (payments; may set cookies for payment/security functionality during checkout)

Infrastructure providers that support site delivery may also process technical data:

  • Hetzner (hosting)
  • Cloudflare (DNS, CDN, and security/performance)
  • BunnyCDN (delivery of static assets and audio/video streaming)

A note on social sharing: the share buttons on our content (Facebook, WhatsApp, X, Reddit) are plain links. They do not load third-party scripts or set cookies unless you click them to share a page.

7) How long cookies last

Some cookies are session cookies (deleted when you close your browser). Others are persistent cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them). Cookie lifetimes vary by cookie and provider.

8) How to control cookies

You can control cookies in three ways:

  1. Cookie banner/settings: Use the cookie settings on our site to accept, reject, or withdraw consent for non-essential cookies.
  2. Browser settings: You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Note: blocking necessary cookies may break core site functions (like login).
  3. Device settings: Some devices allow additional tracking controls at OS level.

9) International transfers

Some third parties (such as Google and Meta) may process data outside the EU/EEA. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses).

10) Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will show when changes were made.
