Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to site owners.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies we use on surgex.pt, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We aim to be transparent about our minimal use of cookies in line with the GDPR and the Portuguese Electronic Communications Law.

We use a minimal number of cookies on our website. Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function correctly. These include cookies that manage session state, language preferences, and security features. These cookies do not collect personal data and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.

Vercel Analytics: Our website is hosted on Vercel, which provides privacy-focused, cookieless web analytics. Vercel Analytics collects anonymized usage data — such as page views, referral sources, and device type — without placing tracking cookies on your device and without collecting personally identifiable information. This data helps us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it.

We do not use Google Analytics, advertising cookies, or any third-party tracking cookies. We do not track you across other websites, build advertising profiles, or share browsing data with ad networks.

Since we only use essential cookies and cookieless analytics, there is very little to manage. However, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from websites. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent certain features of our website from working correctly.

For instructions on managing cookies in your specific browser, visit your browser's help documentation or go to www.aboutcookies.org for general guidance.

We do not allow third parties to place cookies on your device through our website for advertising or tracking purposes. The only third-party service involved in our site's operation is Vercel (our hosting provider), which uses cookieless analytics as described above.

If we embed any third-party content in the future (such as videos or maps), those providers may set their own cookies. We will update this policy accordingly and inform you of any changes.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies, please contact us at: SurgeX, Lisbon, Portugal. Email: contact@surgex.pt. Phone: +351 915 109 181.
