What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, remember preferences and, in some cases, measure how well advertising performs. In this policy the term also covers equivalent technologies such as browser local storage.
Cookies we use
Essential
Required for the site to work. They collect nothing for advertising purposes and do not require consent.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
sg_cookie_consent |
Stores your cookie choice so the banner is not shown on every visit. It stays in your browser's local storage and is never sent to a server. | Until you clear your browser data |
Analytics and advertising
These load only after you accept them. If you decline, they are not installed.
| Service | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Meta Pixel (Facebook / Instagram) ID 336753106752334 |
Measures how our ads perform: how many people visited the site after seeing an ad and which pages they viewed. It also helps show more relevant ads. | Up to 90 days, renewed on each visit |
Data collected by the Meta Pixel is processed by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, acting as joint controller for certain operations. See Meta's Privacy Policy and cookie information. This data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area under the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
Advertising — Google AdSense
This site displays ads through Google AdSense, a service of Google Ireland Limited. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, consent for these cookies is collected through a consent message shown on behalf of Google, managed by a platform certified under the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework and separate from the sites.gratis cookie banner. Without your consent, no personalised ads are shown: Google may show non-personalised ads, chosen from context (page content, approximate location), or limited ads, and advertising cookies are stored only if you allow it. The same message lists every third-party advertising vendor, with links to their policies.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
__gads, __gpi, __eoiGoogle, on this domain |
Measure ad interactions, limit how often the same ad is shown and help prevent fraud. | Up to 13 months (__eoi: 6 months) |
IDE, DSID, test_cookiethird party, doubleclick.net |
Serve and personalise ads, measure their effectiveness and check whether the browser accepts cookies. | From 15 minutes up to 13 months |
FCCDCF, FCNECGoogle, on this domain |
Store your answer to the advertising consent message. | Up to 13 months |
Names and durations are set by Google and may change; the current list is at How Google uses cookies. How Google processes this data is explained in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and in the Google Privacy Policy.
Third-party services and demo sites
Some links on this site take you to third-party platforms, such as WhatsApp and PayPal. Those services have their own cookie and privacy policies, which apply from the moment you leave sites.gratis.
The same applies to the demos and stores shown in our portfolio. Sites built on Wix and online stores built on Shopify set their own cookies — essential ones for the service to work (session, shopping cart, security and fraud prevention) and, where the owner enables them, analytics and advertising cookies too. Those cookies are set by the platform and by the store owner, not by sites.gratis, and are governed by the policies published on each site. See Shopify's cookie policy and Wix's privacy policy if you wish.
sites.gratis itself is not built on Shopify and sets no Shopify cookies.
Stores we build for clients
When we set up a Shopify store or a Wix site on a client's behalf, it is the client — as data controller — who is responsible for the cookie policy and consent banner shown on that store. sites.gratis can configure those tools on request, but does not decide on its own initiative which cookies a client's store uses.
Changing your choice
You can change your mind at any time.
To see the banner again and choose afresh, use the button below. If you had accepted, your previous decision is erased.
To change your choice about Google ads, use the privacy and cookie settings link in the Google consent message (usually a small button at the bottom of the page). You can also opt out of personalised advertising at Google's Ads Settings (My Ad Center), at aboutads.info or at youronlinechoices.eu.
Alternatively, you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Note that blocking all cookies may affect how many websites work, not just this one.
Your rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation you have the right to access your personal data, request its correction or erasure, restrict or object to processing, and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, write to nunobarataalves@gmail.com.
If you believe your data is not being handled properly, you may lodge a complaint with the Portuguese data protection authority, CNPD.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated whenever we change the tools used on the site. The date at the top shows the version in force.
