Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

Voz Sergipana, available at https://vozsergipana.online/, is an independent digital portal dedicated to news and information about Sergipe, Brazil, including culture, tourism, sports, public services, and the economy.

This Cookie Policy explains how cookies, technical identifiers, and similar technologies may be used for website operation, security, reader features, audience analytics, and commercial services.

Personal data processing must comply with Brazil's General Personal Data Protection Law (LGPD), Law No. 13,709/2018, and other applicable regulations.

This policy supplements our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small files stored in a web browser that allow websites to recognize certain information during a visit or on subsequent visits.

Websites may also use JavaScript, technical identifiers, browser local storage, and internal records to support functionality and understand how their services are used.

Some technologies are necessary for website operation, security, and features requested by visitors.

Others are optional and depend on visitor preferences, the processing purpose, and the applicable legal basis.

Simply accessing the website does not constitute unrestricted authorization for tracking technologies.

3. Cookies and Identifiers Used by Voz Sergipana

The technological architecture of Voz Sergipana may support its own mechanisms for technical identification, session management, and feature protection.

Reference inventory requiring confirmation on the Voz Sergipana installation:

These identifiers and durations were identified in the reference implementation of Dantverse and must be technically verified before being declared active on Voz Sergipana.

If the same implementation is used, the administrative identifier is intended exclusively for restricted administration rather than commercial identification of ordinary visitors.

Where an identifier serves multiple purposes, each purpose must be assessed under the appropriate legal basis.

An identifier used to prevent duplicate ratings, for example, must not automatically be reused for audience analytics that the visitor has rejected.

Consent preferences may also be recorded technically so the website can respect visitors' choices.

External services may set their own cookies and identifiers according to the integrations actually enabled.

4. Cookie Categories and Purposes

Essential and Security Cookies

These support essential website operation, administrative authentication, system protection, abuse prevention, and features requested by visitors.

Depending on their necessity and purpose, these activities may rely on applicable legal bases other than consent.

Audience Analytics Cookies

The technological model used by Voz Sergipana supports the possibility of first-party audience analytics and editorial performance measurement.

When enabled and legally permitted, the system may collect information such as:

• Pages and URLs visited.

• Traffic sources, referrals, and UTM campaign parameters.

• Selected language.

• Device type and browser technical information.

• Sessions, visits, and unique page views.

• Active browsing time.

• Page scroll percentage.

• Interactions with website elements.

• Clicks on affiliate links, where applicable.

This information may help us understand audience interests, evaluate editorial performance, and improve navigation.

A first-party analytics system does not necessarily require Google Analytics.

Where consent is required, the relevant optional cookies and tracking events must remain disabled until valid authorization is obtained.

5. Identifiers, Article Ratings, and Abuse Prevention

If article ratings are available, technical identifiers may be used to reduce duplicate or fraudulent ratings and maintain the integrity of that feature.

These identifiers do not necessarily reveal a visitor's civil identity.

Converting identifiers into hashes may reduce direct exposure but does not automatically mean the resulting data is fully anonymized.

IP addresses and technical browser information, such as user-agent strings, may also be processed on a limited basis for security, abuse prevention, and technical access classification.

Information processed for security and feature integrity must be limited to what is necessary.

Security-related processing does not automatically authorize using the same information for rejected analytics or advertising purposes.

6. Advertising and Affiliate Programs

Voz Sergipana may use advertising and affiliate programs to support its operations.

Potential commercial integrations include links to physical products, digital products, and services from providers such as Amazon, Hotmart, and other platforms.

When a visitor follows an affiliate link, the website may record the interaction and redirect the visitor to the relevant provider, depending on the feature implemented.

Records necessary for secure redirection must be distinguished from optional behavioral and commercial-performance tracking.

After visitors reach the destination website, the provider may use its own cookies, attribution technologies, and privacy policies.

The portal may also display product images hosted on external servers.

Loading these images may transmit technical information, such as an IP address, browser information, and referring page, to the responsible provider.

Integrations that require consent must respect the visitor's choices.

Mentioning commercial providers does not mean that all of these integrations are currently installed or active.

7. Google AdSense

Google AdSense is a potential monetization service for Voz Sergipana, subject to approval, configuration, and activation.

Once enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies and other technologies for advertising delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and, where permitted, personalized advertising.

These activities depend on the actual configurations, visitor permissions, and applicable laws.

For information about Google's data practices on partner websites:

https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

To manage Google advertising preferences:

https://myadcenter.google.com/

Advertising in certain regions may require additional consent-management mechanisms.

The inclusion of Google AdSense in this policy does not mean that the portal has already received approval or is currently displaying Google advertisements.

8. Embedded Content and External Services

Voz Sergipana articles may include videos, maps, images, and other embedded content from external platforms, including YouTube and providers related to events or tourism.

Loading these resources may establish direct connections with third-party servers and transmit technical browser information.

Where an integration requires consent, the resource must wait for authorization or valid user interaction, in accordance with applicable requirements.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of the relevant external providers.

9. How Consent Works

Optional cookie management must provide clear choices corresponding to the technologies actually in use.

Where a preference-management mechanism is enabled, visitors should be able to:

• Accept All: Authorize the optional categories presented.

• Reject Optional Cookies: Keep consent-dependent technologies disabled.

• Manage Preferences: Choose individual categories and save their decisions.

Strictly necessary cookies are not disabled solely because optional cookies have been rejected.

Failure to respond, closing a cookie notice, or simply continuing to browse must not automatically be interpreted as consent.

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent access to public editorial content, although some external features may become unavailable.

The actual operation of the consent system must match the choices presented to visitors.

10. Changing or Withdrawing Preferences

When consent-based optional technologies are enabled, visitors must have an accessible way to modify or withdraw their choices.

This feature may be labeled Cookie Preferences, provided that it is actually available on the website.

Withdrawal must stop new optional processing based on the withdrawn consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing previously carried out under valid authorization.

Deletion of information collected earlier may be requested under applicable data protection rights.

Cookies can also be managed or deleted through browser settings.

11. Data Storage and Retention

Cookies and identifiers actually used by the portal must have durations appropriate to their purposes.

A cookie's expiration period does not necessarily correspond to the retention period of information stored in databases or internal records.

Audience data, sessions, interactions, security logs, ratings, and consent preferences may have different retention periods.

These records must be kept only as long as necessary for their respective purposes, subject to applicable lawful retention requirements.

Visitors may contact the responsible party to request information about retention periods or exercise rights concerning personal data deletion.

12. Personal Data Rights

Under applicable law, visitors may request information about the processing of their personal data and exercise rights, where applicable, including:

• Confirmation that personal data is being processed.

• Access to personal data.

• Correction of incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated information.

• Anonymization, blocking, or deletion where legally applicable.

• Information about data sharing.

• Objection to processing in circumstances established by law.

• Withdrawal of consent.

• Deletion of consent-based data, subject to legal exceptions.

Requests will be handled according to the requirements and exceptions established by Brazil's LGPD.

Additional information is available in our Privacy Policy.

13. Changes to This Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in technologies, service providers, features, operational practices, or legal requirements.

Where necessary, the website must provide updated information, modify its preference-management mechanisms, or request new consent choices.

Material changes should be reflected on this page.

Reference date of this draft: October 20, 2026.

The publicly displayed last-updated date should correspond to the version actually approved and published.
