COOKIE POLICY

1. COOKIES: WHAT ARE THEY?

Cookies are small text files stored on users’ devices (“User”) during visits to certain websites (“Sites”). The use of this type of technology when accessing websites is a common practice, does not harm users’ devices (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.), and different browsers allow each user to refuse their use and/or delete those already stored.
Cookies play an important role in the functioning of various websites and access to different content, helping to understand how users interact with the website and facilitating navigation to ensure a better user experience.

2. WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?

The SIC SITES (accessible via the following addresses: www.sic.pt, www.sicnoticias.pt, www.sicmulher.pt, www.sicradical.pt, www.sickapa.pt, www.siccaras.pt, www.famashow.pt) store cookies used to improve performance and user experience, as legally permitted.
The cookies stored on SIC SITES are not used to record any personal or confidential information, nor do they track browsing activity outside SIC SITES.
The cookies stored on SIC SITES do not identify the user, only the device used, and they help improve navigation and usage experience. For example, they allow us to associate your device with your preferences or provide content we believe may be of interest to you.

3. CATEGORIES OF COOKIES

The cookies stored on SIC SITES fall into three categories:

  • Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for SIC SITES to function efficiently. They track users’ navigation during their visit without identifying them and are automatically deleted when they leave SIC SITES.
  • Persistent Cookies: These cookies are not essential for SIC SITES to function but help recognize users whenever they access the pages, optimizing their browsing experience. These cookies assign a unique number that identifies the user when they enter SIC SITES. Persistent cookies remain on the device until the user deletes them.
  • Behavioral Advertising Cookies: These cookies allow advertisements to be displayed based on users’ interests and preferences. For example, if a user frequently reads articles about cars, they are likely to see ads related to automotive services and products.
  • Other Cookies or Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are usually set by third-party websites with permission from SIC SITES and allow the user to be recognized as having previously visited that site.

Additionally, SIC SITES may integrate pixel tags (pixel tags and web beacons), which help understand how users interact with the sites. Pixel tags do not collect personal data and are used, for example, to gather information about popular destinations.

4. HOW TO MANAGE COOKIES

By continuing to browse SIC SITES, unless you have disabled cookies, you are consenting to their use in accordance with this Cookie Policy. If you choose to disable cookies, some or all parts of SIC SITES may not function properly, and your browsing experience may be significantly impacted.

Different browsers allow users to view existing cookies, disable them, or delete them individually or entirely.

For more information about cookies, their usage, and how to manage preferences, you can visit the specific help pages of different browsers or general pages on this topic, such as:
