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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| __session | InspectOS | Maintains your active session during the booking process and authenticated navigation. | Session |
| csrf_token | InspectOS | Protects website forms against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. | Session |
| cookie_consent | InspectOS | Stores your cookie consent preferences to avoid repeatedly showing the consent banner. | 13 months |
| locale | InspectOS | 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. This information allows us to continuously improve our content and services. These cookies are only activated if you accept analytics cookies in the consent banner.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors via a randomly generated identifier. | 2 years |
| _ga_XXXXXXXX | Google Analytics | Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4. | 2 years |
| _gid | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors — used to calculate and store session data. | 24 hours |
Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymisation enabled. Data is not used for advertising purposes and is not shared with third parties beyond Google LLC under our data processing agreement.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enhance your browsing experience by storing preferences beyond basic technical requirements. Currently, the only functional cookie we use is the language preference cookie, which is classified as essential because it is required for a core feature of the multilingual site.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEXT_LOCALE | InspectOS / Next.js | Stores your language preference to ensure content is displayed in the correct language. | 12 months |
Managing Your Preferences
You have full control over analytics 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 analytics cookies does not affect website functionality. Disabling essential cookies will affect navigation and the booking process.
