This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which types of cookies may be used on the Ignyten website, the purposes for which they are used, and how the user can manage their cookie preferences.

This Policy should be read together with the website’s Privacy Policy, where additional information is provided regarding personal data processing, data subject rights and the contact details of the controller.

1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on the user’s device through the browser when visiting a website. These files allow the website to recognise the user’s device on future visits, store certain preferences and collect information related to website usage.

Cookies may be first-party cookies, when set by the website being visited, or third-party cookies, when set by external domains associated with functionality, embedded content, measurement, advertising or other technological integrations.

2. What cookies are used for
Cookies may be used, in particular, to ensure the technical operation of the website, remember user preferences, collect statistical information about website usage, enable the integration of third-party content or functionalities, and support security features, session management and technical abuse prevention.

3. Legal basis for using cookies
Under the applicable law in Portugal, only cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website or for the provision of a service expressly requested by the user may be installed without prior consent. The use of non-essential cookies, including analytics, marketing, personalisation or third-party content cookies, depends on the user’s prior, free, specific, informed and unambiguous consent.

Consent cannot be inferred from continued browsing, scrolling, closing the banner or pre-ticked boxes. Where required, consent must result from a clear affirmative action and must be as easy to withdraw as it was to give.

4. Types of cookies that may be used
The website may use strictly necessary cookies, functional cookies, analytics cookies and marketing or third-party cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies are indispensable for the technical operation of the website and for providing essential functionalities. Without these cookies, the website may not function properly.

Functional cookies allow the website to remember user preferences and improve functionality. In multilingual websites using WPML, technical and functional cookies such as wp-wpml_current_language, _icl_visitor_lang_js or wpml_browser_redirect_test may be used, depending on the active features, to remember the current language, support language redirection or test whether the browser accepts cookies.

If the website uses multilingual WooCommerce or multicurrency features, additional cookies related to currency and language context may also exist, depending on the active configuration.

Analytics cookies are used to collect statistical information about website usage, such as pages visited, browsing behaviour, traffic source and general interactions with the content. If the website uses Google Analytics 4, cookies such as _ga and _ga_ may be used to distinguish users and maintain session state.

Marketing and third-party cookies are associated with advertising, remarketing, campaign measurement, embedded content or external integrations that may collect information about the user’s browsing activity across different digital contexts.

5. Indicative cookie list
The list below is indicative only and must be adjusted to the actual website configuration before publication.

The website may use cookies such as wp-wpml_current_language, _icl_visitor_lang_js and wpml_browser_redirect_test for language management and cookie testing when WPML features are active.

If the website uses Google Analytics 4, cookies such as _ga and _ga_ may be used to distinguish users and maintain session state.

If any other cookies or active technologies exist, such as YouTube, Meta Pixel, Google Ads, reCAPTCHA, chat, newsletters or other integrations, they must be specifically identified in this section before publication.

6. Managing cookie preferences
Whenever the website uses non-essential cookies, the user must be able to manage their preferences through the cookie banner or the consent management platform implemented on the website.

The user must be able to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, configure cookie categories granularly and withdraw or change consent later.

Additionally, the user may configure the browser to block or delete cookies. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the proper functioning of the website.

7. Consent and proof of consent
When the use of certain cookies depends on consent, the website must prevent their installation before the user makes a choice.

The consent system should also record, where applicable, the preference expressed, the date, the version of the text shown and the cookie category accepted or rejected, in order to demonstrate compliance.

8. Changes to this Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated at any time to reflect legal, technical or operational changes, as well as changes in the tools used by the website.

Whenever such changes are relevant, the date of the latest revision shown at the top of this page will be updated.
