Cookie policy

What they are

Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser to remember something from one page to the next. This site uses very few, and none of them track you.

The ones this site uses

fdl-lingua: stores the language you chose, so you do not have to choose it again. It is created when you use the language switcher and lasts one year.

fdl-sessao: exists only for those who sign in to the Organising Committee's management area. It holds the open session, cannot be read by scripts (httpOnly) and lasts 8 hours.

fdl-admin: goes with the previous one and only tells the site that a session is open, so the editing tools are shown. On its own it grants no access.

__stripe_mid and __stripe_sid: they only appear if you reach the checkout. They are set by Stripe's payment form, which runs inside the page, and Stripe uses them to detect fraud: to tell a purchase of yours apart from an attempt made by a program with a stolen card. The first lasts about a year, the second about half an hour. They are not ours and we do not read them; Stripe explains them in its own privacy policy, at stripe.com/privacy. Anyone who does not reach the checkout never has them.

Your shopping cart is not a cookie: it lives in the browser's local storage (fdl-carrinho-3), on your device, is never sent to the server and disappears when you empty the cart or clear your browser data. In the same place, and only for those who sign in to the management area, sits fdl-notificacoes-vistas-2, which marks which panel notices have already been seen.

Anti-bot check: Cloudflare's Turnstile runs in your browser to confirm that whoever sends a form is a person. It runs on pages with one of those forms in sight and, for the newsletter in the footer, only once you start using the form (see the Privacy Policy). Turnstile may keep in the browser whatever it needs so as not to ask you the same thing again. It is strictly necessary for us to accept those forms safely and is not used for advertising or to follow you.

Why we do not ask for consent

The law only requires consent for cookies that are not strictly necessary: advertising, analytics or profiling. None of the ones on this page are those, which is why there is no banner: the language and cart ones come from a choice of yours, the session ones exist only for people signing in to the management area, and Stripe's and Turnstile's are needed to pay and to send a form safely. This site does not have the others: no Google Analytics or equivalent, no social network pixels, no embedded videos or maps, and typefaces are served from this domain. The cookies above either follow from a choice you made or are needed for the site to work, so there is no banner asking for your permission.

How to control them

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you do, the site goes back to showing itself in your browser's language, the cart is emptied and the management area can no longer keep a session open.

Changes

If we ever start using cookies that require consent, this page is updated and a permission request appears before they are created.
