Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 4, 2026

Summary: we use cookies in only two categories: a necessary cookie that stores your choice, and Google Analytics cookies, which only load if you accept. No advertising or marketing cookies. You decide via a notice with "Accept," "Reject," and "Manage" options, always with equal visual weight, and you can change your mind at any time.

What cookies we use

We use cookies in only two categories: a strictly necessary cookie that stores your own cookie choice, and Google Analytics cookies, activated only if you consent.

We don't use advertising, marketing, or cross-site tracking cookies. The site's typefaces (Google Fonts) remain self-hosted at build time. No information of yours is sent to Google's servers to load them.

Cookies in use

Here's exactly which cookies this site may set:

  • mare_cookie_consent: stores your cookie choice. Necessary, always on, lasts up to 180 days.
  • _ga: identifies sessions in aggregate for Google Analytics. Analytics, only with your consent, lasts up to 13 months.
  • _ga_<data stream ID>: maintains your specific Google Analytics 4 session state. Analytics, only with your consent, lasts up to 13 months.

Analytics cookies don't identify you individually. Google Analytics aggregates the data.

How to verify

You don't have to take our word for it. Open your browser's developer tools (F12), go to the "Application" (or "Storage") tab → "Cookies": before you accept analytics cookies, the list shows only the preference cookie (mare_cookie_consent); Google Analytics cookies only appear after you accept.

Why the preferences cookie is different

The cookie that stores your cookie choice (mare_cookie_consent) is strictly necessary: it exists only to remember your decision and avoid asking again. That's why it's exempt from consent under LGPD and GDPR, even though it's technically a cookie.

The contact form isn't a cookie

Submitting this site's contact form doesn't set any cookie in your browser. The data you type (name, email, budget, and message) is sent directly by email, and how we handle that personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, not this page.

See the Privacy Policy

How we ask for your consent

On your first visit, we show a notice with "Accept," "Reject," and "Manage" options, all with equal visual prominence. No option is easier to click than another.

  • No Google Analytics cookie loads before your explicit consent
  • You can accept everything, reject everything, or choose exactly what to allow
  • Your choice is saved for up to 180 days, and you can change your mind whenever you want

If we ever add new cookie categories (for example, marketing), we'll update this notice and this page before turning them on.

Managing your preferences

You can review or change your choice about analytics cookies at any time, here or via the link in the site footer.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy whenever how we handle cookies changes. The date at the top of this page ("Last updated") always reflects the current version.
