Cookie Policy

1. ** INTRODUCTION**

Your privacy is very important to us.

The Teatro Nacional São João E.P.E. (henceforth TNSJ) has developed this policy to inform you that these web pages use cookies with the intent of providing you with an efficient browsing experience that meets your needs. The TNSJ uses its cookies in a completely responsible, non-intrusive way; user privacy being foremost amongst our concerns, we wish to inform you about how we use them, as well as what management options are available to our website’s users. This Cookie Policy is part of our Privacy Policy, which can be read here.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a bit of data that is placed on the user’s computer whenever certain web pages are visited. Cookies allow a web page to store and retrieve information on the browsing habits of a device’s user and, depending on the sort of information they contain and the way in which the device is used, may be used to identify the user.

Thus, cookies enable the digital platform to memorise the user’s actions and preferences, namely their name, chosen language and other display settings, thus avoiding the need to personalise the website every time they visit it.

Most cookies do nothing more than gather information of a general nature, being used to measure audiences or gauge the approximate location of the users of our online platforms.

3. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE USED ON THE TNSJ WEBSITE?

The TNSJ website employs various types of cookies. As regards duration, we use two types of cookies:

• Session cookies: these are temporary cookies that are stored in the browser only while the user is visiting the web page; thus no trace of them is left in the user’s hard disk. The information gathered by these cookies is used to analyse the traffic patterns of our website, allowing us to improve its content and navigability.

• Persistent cookies: cookies that are stored in the user’s browser and put into action whenever the user accesses our website.

4. FUNCTIONS OF THE COOKIES WE USE:

• Essential cookies: these cookies are strictly necessary to the website’s proper functioning: they facilitate correct browsing and keep its applications working properly.

• Performance/analytic cookies: these cookies perform performance assessments to improve our website’s services; they may belong the TNSJ or to third parties.

• Marketing/advertising and social media cookies: these third-party cookies provide links to social media and help us share our multimedia content with social media sites, as well as monitor advertisements outside our website on these same social media sites. If these cookies are switched off, you will not be able to directly share our content on social media.

5. COOKIE ACCESS

The TNSJ uses proprietary cookies, i.e. cookies generated by the TNSJ, as well as third-party cookies, which are installed and managed by third parties; consequently, these third parties may access the data gathered by these cookies.

6. COOKIE REJECTION
