Cookie Policy

Tech Carvalho uses a small number of cookies and similar browser storage. Some are required for the site to function; others are only used after you grant consent through the consent banner. You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page, which lets you review and adjust each category individually.

Strictly necessary

A session cookie is used to keep an administrator signed in to the Tech Carvalho admin area. This is required for the admin app to work and is exempt from consent requirements — it is never set for ordinary visitors browsing the public site.

Analytics — only after consent

With your consent, Tech Carvalho uses Google Analytics (GA4), which sets its own cookies, and its own first-party analytics: a random session identifier stored in your browser's session storage (cleared automatically when you close the tab or after 30 minutes of inactivity) and a random visitor identifier stored in local storage (kept until you clear it) so we can distinguish new and returning visits. Neither identifier is linked to your name, email, or any account, and neither is ever shared outside Tech Carvalho's own database except with Google for the GA4 portion. We do not store your IP address or full browser user-agent string for analytics purposes.

Separately, when you click a link that leaves the site — today that means a manufacturer's own page; it would also cover a retailer link if one were ever added — we record that a click happened (which page, which destination) without any visitor or session identifier attached at all. This anonymous count exists regardless of your cookie choice, since it cannot be linked to you or your browsing across the site.

Advertising — only after consent

With your consent, the Google AdSense library loads so Tech Carvalho's advertising account can be verified. No individual ad placements are live on the site yet.
