Cookie Policy
This page transparently explains the cookies used by the InspectOS website (inspectos.pt), their purpose, duration, and how you can manage your preferences at any time. In compliance with GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, we only use strictly necessary cookies without prior consent. All other cookies require your explicit agreement.

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) by websites you visit. They allow the website to remember your preferences, maintain active sessions, measure usage, and improve your experience. Cookies do not contain viruses or malicious software and cannot access other files on your device.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function correctly. Without them, basic features such as page navigation, form security, and booking session management do not work. These cookies do not require consent and cannot be disabled through our preferences panel.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Supabase | Maintains the authenticated session in the inspector portal and booking areas. | Session |
| inspectos_cookie_consent | InspectOS | Stores your cookie consent preferences in the browser's local storage, so the banner is not shown repeatedly. | 13 months |
| NEXT_LOCALE | InspectOS / Next.js | Remembers your language preference (Portuguese, English, or Spanish). | 12 months |
Essential cookies do not collect information about you for marketing or analytics purposes.
Analytics Cookies (Optional)
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website, which pages are most visited, where users come from, and how they navigate the site. They are only activated if you accept optional cookies in the consent banner.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors via a randomly generated identifier. | 2 years |
| _ga_N13SKL1ST8 | Google Analytics | Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4. | 2 years |
| _clck | Microsoft Clarity | Persists the Clarity visitor identifier and preferences for this website. | 1 year |
| _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Connects multiple page views into a single Clarity session recording. | 1 day |
| CLID | Microsoft Clarity | Identifies the first time Clarity saw this visitor, on the clarity.ms domain. | 1 year |
Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymisation enabled and Google Consent Mode v2. Microsoft Clarity loads only after analytics consent. Without your consent, analytics cookies are not set.
Advertising Cookies (Optional)
Advertising cookies let us measure InspectOS Google Ads campaign performance and show relevant ads to visitors who already know the website (retargeting). They are only activated if you accept optional cookies in the consent banner.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Google Ads | Measures conversions and attributes ad clicks to on-site actions. | 90 days |
| IDE | Google Ads / DoubleClick | Records ad interactions for retargeting and campaign measurement. | 13 months |
| test_cookie | Google Ads | Checks whether the browser accepts advertising cookies. | 15 minutes |
Google Tag Manager and Google Ads respect Google Consent Mode v2. Without consent, advertising cookies are not set and retargeting audiences are not created.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enhance your browsing experience by storing preferences beyond basic technical requirements. The only cookie in this category we use is NEXT_LOCALE, listed above as essential because the multilingual site depends on it.
Managing Your Preferences
You have full control over analytics and advertising cookies. You can change your preferences at any time using the following methods:
- Consent panel: click 'Cookie Settings' in the website footer to review and change your choices at any time.
- Delete browser cookies: access your browser settings and delete all cookies from inspectos.pt. When you revisit the site, you can make new choices in the consent banner.
- Browser settings: most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Consult your browser's help documentation (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) for specific instructions.
- Google Analytics opt-out: install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout to prevent data collection on all websites using Google Analytics.
Disabling optional cookies does not affect website functionality. Disabling essential cookies will affect navigation and the booking process.
