1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how EmberPlanet Lda. ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website emberplanet.world. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about how we collect and process your personal data.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners about user behaviour and preferences. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted or expired) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).

3. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes:

  • Essential functionality: To enable basic website features and security
  • Performance analysis: To understand how visitors use our website and improve user experience
  • Personalisation: To remember your preferences and settings
  • Marketing and advertising: To deliver relevant advertisements and measure campaign effectiveness
  • Analytics: To gather statistics about website usage and visitor behaviour

4. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorise cookies into four main types based on their function and purpose:

4.1 Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled. They enable basic functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submissions.

4.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use Google Analytics to gather insights about website performance and user behaviour.

4.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalisation, such as remembering your cookie preferences, language settings, and other customisation options.

4.4 Marketing Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver advertisements relevant to you and track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. We use Google Ads and other advertising platforms that may set cookies for remarketing and personalised advertising purposes.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Our website may contain content from third-party services that set their own cookies. These include:

  • Google Analytics: Web analytics service that tracks and reports website traffic
  • Google Ads: Advertising platform for conversion tracking and remarketing
  • Google Fonts: Web font service that may set functional cookies

These third-party services have their own privacy policies and cookie practices. We recommend reviewing their policies for more information about how they use cookies and process data.

7. Google Consent Mode v2

We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which allows us to adjust how Google tags behave based on your consent choices. When you decline certain cookie categories, Google's advertising and analytics tools operate in a privacy-enhanced mode, reducing data collection while still providing essential functionality. This ensures compliance with privacy regulations while maintaining website performance.

8. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies on our website:

8.2 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically set your browser to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or notify you when cookies are being set.
