Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser so that it can recognise your device on later visits. Similar technologies, such as the browser’s local storage, are treated here in the same way.
Without asking, we only store what is strictly necessary for the website to work. Everything else depends on your choice:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| hs-consentimento-cookies | Hidrostation | Stores your cookie choice and the date you made it (browser local storage). | 12 months | Necessary |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors, using a random identifier, for usage statistics. | 2 years | Statistics — only with consent |
| _ga_C7EYQWCR87 | Google Analytics | Keeps the session state for usage statistics. | 2 years | Statistics — only with consent |
Third-party content. HidroTV videos (YouTube, in privacy-enhanced mode) and the map on the contact page (Google Maps) only load when you click to view them. From that moment on, YouTube and Google may set their own cookies, governed by Google’s privacy policy.
On your first visit, the website asks whether you accept statistics cookies. You can accept, refuse or adjust your choice — refusing is as easy as accepting, and the website works in exactly the same way.
You can change your mind at any time using the “Cookies” link in the footer. If you withdraw your consent, the Google Analytics cookies are deleted. Your choice is stored for 12 months; after that, we ask again.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
To find out how we process the data collected, see the privacy policy. For any questions, write to hidrostation@hidrostation.pt.
