1. What exactly are \u201ccookies\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>

A \u201ccookie\u201d is a text file that stores information for a limited time. Most websites use \u201ccookies\u201d. These are automatically downloaded and saved by your browser the first time you visit a website. A \u201ccookie\u201d contains at least two components, the name and value of the file. The \u201ccookie\u201d usually has a self-destruction date, which is set according to the desired duration of the \u201ccookie\u201d. A distinction is made between session \u201ccookies\u201d and permanent \u201ccookies\u201d. Session \u201ccookies\u201d are temporary, are generated and are only available until the session is closed, as the next time the client\/user accesses their Internet browser, the \u201ccookies\u201d will no longer be stored. Permanent \u201ccookies\u201d are \u201ccookies\u201d that remain stored on the devices used to access the channels (computers, mobile phones, etc.), at the level of the computer application used to browse the Internet, and are used whenever users or clients\/users visit any channel again. In general, they are used to direct navigation according to the interests of the user or client\/user, allowing Cuidamos em Casa to provide a more personalized service. <\/p>

2. Are \u201ccookies\u201d bad?<\/strong><\/p>

There is no absolute answer to this question. It depends on what website data the \u201ccookies\u201d store or not and what information is used. You can think of \u201ccookies\u201d as a tool, for example, a hammer or a saw. In principle, they are useful, but they can also be used negatively. Therefore, it is worth differentiating and deciding which \u201ccookies\u201d are necessary and important to you personally and which should not be saved. You should adjust the \u201ccookie\u201d settings on your end device. <\/p>

3. <\/strong>What are \u201ccookies\u201d really necessary for?<\/strong><\/p>

Cuidamos em Casa uses \u201ccookies\u201d on its website with the purpose of improving the performance and browsing experience of users and clients\/users, increasing, on one hand, the speed and efficiency of response and, on the other, eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information.<\/p>

The use of \u201ccookies\u201d helps websites recognize the devices of users and clients\/users the next time they visit them, and is also, in some cases, essential for their operation.<\/p>

The \u201ccookies\u201d used by Cuidamos em Casa, on all its channels, do not collect personal information that allows the identification of users or clients\/users, storing only generic information, namely the form or geographical location of access and how they use the channels, among others. The \u201ccookies\u201d only retain information related to the preferences of users and clients\/users, and personal identifications are not recorded. <\/p>

Users, service recipients, and clients\/users can, at any time, through the computer application they use to browse the Internet, make the decision to be notified about the reception of \u201ccookies\u201d, as well as block their entry into their system.<\/p>

\u201cCookies\u201d should make the user’s visit to a website easier. For example, with online shopping, they allow the website to \u201cremember\u201d which products were in your \u201cshopping cart\u201d when you access the page again or ensure that the predefined layout and font size are automatically displayed. <\/p>

However, not all \u201ccookies\u201d are useful and exclusively for the user’s benefit. For example, tracking \u201ccookies\u201d are used to monitor your behavior on websites and to place advertising accordingly, or to make websites easier to use. Therefore, it is important to think about which \u201ccookies\u201d you should allow and which you should refuse. To make this decision, it is useful to know what types of \u201ccookies\u201d exist. <\/p>
