Cookie Policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how TIAGO SOUZA CORREIA ("we," "us," "our," or "Company") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website at www.tiagosouzacorreia.fr (the "Site"). We are committed to transparency about our data practices and your right to control the information collected about you.

By continuing to use this Site, you consent to our use of cookies and tracking technologies as described in this policy. However, you have the right to manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie management panel.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They allow websites to recognize your device on repeat visits and remember information about your browsing activity. Some cookies persist after you close your browser, while others (called session cookies) are deleted when you end your browsing session.

We also use tracking pixels (also called web beacons or clear GIFs), which are tiny, transparent images embedded in web pages that allow us to track user activity. Additionally, we may use device identifiers like your IP address and browser fingerprints to understand your interactions with our Site.

Cookie Categories

We use cookies in three distinct categories, each serving different purposes:

Marketing Cookies — Detailed Disclosures

Cookie Consent and Preferences

When you first visit our Site, you will see a cookie consent banner at the bottom of the page. This banner allows you to:

• Accept All Cookies: Enables essential, analytics, and marketing cookies
• Reject Non-Essential: Enables only essential cookies; analytics and marketing cookies remain disabled
• Manage Preferences: Opens a detailed panel where you can toggle each cookie category independently

Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage for 12 months. You may change your preferences at any time by clicking the "Manage Cookie Preferences" link in the website footer, or by clearing your cookies via your browser settings.

By clicking "Accept All Cookies," you consent to the storing of cookies on your device for analytics and advertising purposes, including personalized advertising delivered by Google and Meta. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.

GDPR and UK GDPR Compliance

Users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom receive this consent notice in full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR. Marketing and analytics cookies are activated solely after explicit, informed, freely given consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a).

Your consent is recorded with a timestamp and may be audited upon request. Consent remains valid for 12 months from the date of acceptance, after which we will request renewal.

You have the right to withdraw consent at any time by clicking "Manage Cookie Preferences" in the footer, or by clearing cookies via your browser settings. Withdrawal does not affect the legality of processing that occurred while consent was valid.

Google Analytics and Data Collection

This website uses Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymized usage data. Google Analytics collects information such as your device type, operating system, browser version, pages visited, time on site, and click paths. IP anonymization is enabled, meaning your full IP address is not stored.

Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

For more information about how Google collects and processes data, refer to Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use Google Ads conversion tracking (gtag.js) to measure the effectiveness of our paid search and display campaigns. This tracking code records when a user completes a defined action on our Site, such as submitting a contact form or requesting a consultation, after clicking one of our advertisements.

Conversion data is used solely for measuring campaign performance and is not shared with third parties beyond Google itself. This data helps us optimize our marketing spend and deliver better results for our business.

Meta Pixel and Facebook Advertising

This website uses the Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel) to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram. The Meta Pixel may record:

• Page views and time on site
• Specific conversion events (form submissions, service inquiries)
• Custom audience membership for retargeting purposes

We do not use the Meta Pixel to collect sensitive personal data, nor do we target users based on health status, financial situation, religion, political views, sexual orientation, or any other special-category attribute prohibited under Meta's advertising policies.

Meta acts as an independent data controller for data collected via its Pixel and processed within its own platform. For more information, refer to Meta's Data Policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy.

To manage your ad preferences on Meta platforms, visit https://www.facebook.com/adpreferences/.

Third-Party Cookies

In addition to cookies we set directly on your device, third-party vendors including Google and Meta may set cookies to deliver advertisements and measure campaign performance. These third-party cookies are subject to the privacy policies of those vendors, not this Cookie Policy.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of Google and Meta to understand how they use your information:

• Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Meta Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy
