1. General

This is our cookie policy (“Cookie Policy”). References to “we”, “our”, or “MIRANTES” mean Mirantes Technologies - Prestação de Serviços, Lda. We and our third-party service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms (including tracking technologies designed for mobile applications) to track information about your use of our platform and our services available through this website, our mobile website, or our mobile application (“Services”). We may combine this information with other personal information we collect from you (and our third-party service providers may do so on our behalf).

The information contained in this Cookie Policy is provided in addition to our Privacy Policy and should be read and interpreted together, as well as our Terms and Conditions, as applicable.

2. What is a cookie?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They help us recognize your device on subsequent visits, improving your browsing experience. Some cookies allow us to facilitate navigation on our platform, while others are used to enable a faster login process or to track your activities on our platform.

3. Types of cookies and what we use

We use first-party and third-party cookies. Whether a cookie is “first-party” or “third-party” refers to the domain that places the cookie. First-party cookies are those set by a website being visited by the user at the time—in this case, cookies placed by us and our platform. A third-party cookie is set by another entity or domain different from the website/platform being visited.

There are four types of cookies, namely:

• Strictly necessary or essential cookies: these cookies are required for the platform to function and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are generally set only in response to actions you take that amount to a request for Services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information. They include, for example, cookies that allow users to log in to secure areas of our platform.
• Statistics cookies: they collect information anonymously. This information helps us understand how our visitors use our platform.
• Performance cookies: these types of cookies allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our platform. They help us improve how our platform works, for example, ensuring you can easily find what you are looking for. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
• Functional cookies: these cookies are used to recognize you when you return to our platform. They allow the platform to provide enhanced functionality, content personalization, user recognition, and also remember your user preferences (for example, your language or region choice).

We use strictly necessary or essential cookies because they are required for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are generally set only in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling out forms. Examples:

• Session cookies to keep you logged in while you browse the site.
• Security cookies to protect your account against unauthorized access.

6. Third-party analytics

We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate the use of our platform and services. We use these tools to help us improve our Services, performance, and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies to perform their services. These third parties may collect your device ID, IP address, or other information about the use of the Services as part of the analytics they provide to us.

8. Database management system

The database that manages data at Mirantes offers features to help ensure data privacy in your applications. Some of the features and practices supported by this data management system include:

• Authentication and Authorization: It has a robust authentication and authorization system that allows control over who can access the database and what operations can be performed. This helps ensure that only authorized users can access and manipulate data.
• Data Encryption at Rest and in Transit: It supports encryption of data at rest and in transit, meaning data stored on disk and during network transmission can be protected by encryption to prevent unauthorized access.
• Access and Activity Auditing: It allows configuration of audit logs to track who accessed the database, what operations were performed, and when. This can be useful for compliance purposes and to identify potential security issues.
• Field Masks: It offers the ability to encrypt specific fields in a document, which can be useful for protecting sensitive data even when access to the document is authorized.
• Network-Level Security: It can be configured to operate on a secure network, using firewalls, access control lists, and other recommended practices to protect access to system servers.
• Regulatory Compliance: It offers features and guidance to help developers design and deploy their applications in accordance with data privacy regulations, such as Law No. 22/11 of June 17 (Personal Data Protection Law) and data privacy legal instruments.
