Cookie Policy

Last updated: 5 August 2026

This Policy explains how HORA FULGURANTE – UNIPESSOAL, LDA , under the trade name HFL Cargo , uses cookies and similar technologies on its website.

We aim to explain clearly which technologies may be used, what they are used for, how long they are retained and how you can manage your preferences.

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small files or sets of information stored on the device used to access a website, such as a computer, tablet or mobile phone.

They may allow the website to recognise the browser, maintain an active session, remember certain preferences, protect forms or obtain statistical information about the use of the service.

Some cookies are deleted when the browser is closed. Others remain for a defined period or until deleted by the user.

2. Technologies covered

For the purposes of this Policy, the term “cookies” may include:

  • HTTP cookies stored by the browser;
  • browser local or session storage;
  • technical identifiers used for security purposes;
  • pixels, tags or equivalent technologies;
  • identifiers used by embedded external content.

The actual use of these technologies will depend on the features enabled on the website.

3. Cookie categories

Always active

Strictly necessary

They are essential for operation, security, authentication, session management and protection of forms.

These cookies cannot be disabled through the preference panel because the website may not function correctly without them.

Optional

Preferences

They allow choices such as language, region, display settings or other personalisation options to be remembered.

They will only be used where a functionality justifies their use and under the legally applicable conditions.

Consent

Analytics

They help us understand how the website is used, which pages are visited and whether there are performance issues.

Where they are not strictly necessary, they will only be activated after consent has been given.

Consent

Marketing

They may be used to measure campaigns, personalise advertising or track visitors across websites.

HFL Cargo must not activate cookies in this category without an affirmative choice by the visitor.

4. Cookies currently used

The website uses technical cookies associated with the Django platform to protect forms, manage sessions and allow access to authenticated areas.

Name Entity Category Purpose Typical duration
csrftoken HFL Cargo Necessary Protects forms and requests against cross-site request forgery attacks. Up to approximately 1 year, unless deleted earlier.
sessionid HFL Cargo Necessary Maintains the user's session, including authenticated access to the portal and temporary messages. Normally up to 2 weeks or until the end of the session, depending on the applicable configuration.
Cookie preference HFL Cargo Necessary Stores the visitor's decision regarding cookie categories to avoid repeatedly displaying the consent panel. Up to 12 months or until deleted by the visitor.
Current website status

As of the date of this Policy, advertising cookies are not planned as part of the website's standard operation. If analytics services, maps, videos, anti-spam mechanisms or other external integrations are added, this table must be updated before they are activated.

5. Cookies and third-party services

Some future features may depend on services provided by external entities, such as:

  • interactive maps;
  • embedded videos;
  • audience measurement and performance monitoring;
  • spam, fraud or abuse prevention;
  • customer support tools;
  • social media or multimedia content.

These services may store or access information on the device, collect the IP address or communicate data to their respective providers.

Whenever consent is required, these services must remain blocked until the visitor accepts the corresponding category.

Third-party policies and retention periods are determined by those entities, without prejudice to the measures adopted by HFL Cargo to select and configure the services appropriately.

7. How to manage or withdraw consent

When the panel is available, the visitor may:

  • accept all optional categories;
  • reject all optional categories;
  • select the desired categories individually;
  • subsequently change the choices made;
  • withdraw consent without affecting prior processing.

The button will open the preferences panel when the relevant mechanism is active on the website.

8. Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through their privacy settings.

The location of these options varies depending on the browser and device. They are generally found under sections such as “Privacy”, “Security”, “Cookies” or “Site data”.

You may also delete local storage associated with the website using your browser tools.

9. Consequences of disabling cookies

Disabling optional cookies should not affect the essential functions of the website.

Deleting or blocking necessary cookies may cause:

  • loss of the authenticated session;
  • failures in the secure submission of forms;
  • reappearance of the cookie notice;
  • loss of saved preferences;
  • partial unavailability of the restricted portal.

10. Cookies and personal data

Some identifiers, when combined with other data, may be considered personal data, including IP addresses, session identifiers or information associated with use of the website.

The processing of such data is also subject to our Privacy Policy .

The data subject may exercise the applicable rights, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent, as described in that Policy.

11. Changes to this Policy

This Policy may be updated whenever new technologies, external integrations, cookie categories or relevant legal changes are introduced.

The date of the latest update will be stated at the beginning of the document.
