Cookie Policy
Last Updated: 19 May 2026 | Effective Date: 19 May 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to help websites work reliably, to remember your preferences between visits, and — where you consent — to help site owners understand how people move through their pages.
Cookies do not contain executable code and cannot directly access other information on your device. The information stored in a cookie is limited to what the website specifically saves there.
2. How Provida Uses Cookies
We use cookies in four categories. Only essential cookies are active by default. The other three categories are only activated if you choose to accept them via the cookie banner on our homepage.
| Category | Purpose | Active by default | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keep the site functioning correctly — e.g. remembering your cookie consent choice so the banner does not reappear on every page. | Yes — always on | cookieConsent (localStorage) | |
| Collect anonymised data about page visits and navigation paths. Helps us understand which pages are most useful and identify areas for improvement. No personally identifiable information is collected. | Only with consent | Google Analytics (_ga, _gid) | |
| Track the effectiveness of any advertising we may run. We do not currently run advertising campaigns; this category exists for future transparency if that changes. | Only with consent | Facebook Pixel, Bing UET (if activated) | |
| Remember any display or language preferences you set on the site, so you do not need to reset them on each visit. | Only with consent | Site display preferences |
3. Essential Cookies — Detail
The only cookie active by default on the Provida website is the consent record, which is stored in your browser's localStorage rather than as a traditional cookie. It records:
- Whether you accepted or declined the optional cookie categories.
- The date and time your choice was made.
- The version of our cookie policy in effect when you chose.
This record is necessary so the banner does not display again unnecessarily. It is stored locally on your device and is not sent to any server. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or by using the preference panel below.
4. Third-Party Cookies
If you consent to analytics or marketing cookies, the following third-party services may set cookies on your device:
- Google Analytics — operated by Google Ireland Limited. Google may process usage data on servers in various countries. You can learn more and opt out via Google's opt-out browser add-on.
- Google Maps — an embedded map on our homepage may set cookies related to map display. These are active regardless of consent as they are part of the embedded functionality. If you prefer to avoid these, you can decline to interact with the map.
Provida does not control the cookies set by third-party services. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy and cookie policies for full details.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can update your cookie preferences at any time. Use the button below to review and change your current settings. Your choice will be stored locally and applied to future visits from this browser.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View cookies currently stored by any website.
- Delete individual cookies or all cookies from a given site.
- Block cookies from specific sites or all sites.
- Set alerts when a cookie is placed.
Please be aware that blocking or deleting essential cookies may affect the basic operation of the site. Instructions for common browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal to websites. We respect this signal where technically feasible. When a Do Not Track header is detected, we do not activate analytics or marketing cookies even if you have previously consented, unless you explicitly change your preferences via the panel above.
7. Retention Periods
- The consent record (localStorage) — stored until you clear your browser's local storage or use the preference panel above to reset it.
- Google Analytics cookies —
_gapersists for up to 2 years;_gidexpires after 24 hours. These are only placed with your consent.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. The date at the top of this page shows when the policy was last revised. If we add new cookie categories, we will ask for your consent again before activating them.
