What is a Cookie?

Cookies are files or text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded and stored on your device, via your browser, when you visit a website.

Cookies can be categorized with regard to the purpose they serve. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the functioning of the site, while others collect statistical information in order to analyze the use of the site and its performance or are used to ensure the provision of additional features to the site or to save the visitor’s preferences regarding navigation on the site, every time he uses the same device. Other cookies may also be used to measure the success of applications and the effectiveness of third-party advertising.

Cookies are essential to the operation of the website; they do not damage your equipment or device and, if enabled in your browser configuration, help identify and resolve possible errors in the operation of the website.

Why use cookies?

The main goal is to simplify the navigation and allow the user a better use of the website. To this end, the user is recognized each time he or she accesses the site, eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information and thus enabling faster, more efficient and better quality navigation. The information collected by cookies also allows Visão Virtual to improve its website.

Our cookies have different functions:

Necessary (Essential) Cookies: Some cookies are essential to access specific areas of our site. They allow you to browse the site and use its applications, such as accessing secure areas of the site by logging in. Without these cookies, services that require it cannot be provided.

Analytical Cookies: we use these cookies to analyze how users use the site and monitor its performance. This allows us to provide a high quality experience by customizing our offering and quickly identifying and correcting any problems that arise. For example, we use performance cookies to learn which pages are most popular, which method of linking pages is most effective, or to determine why some pages are receiving error messages. Based on site usage, we may also use these cookies to highlight articles or services on the site that we think may be of interest to users. These cookies are only used for statistical analysis and creation purposes, and never collect personal information.

Functional Cookies: we use functional cookies to allow us to remember user preferences. For example, cookies memorize the selected language, thus avoiding the need to choose the language each time you open a page or access the site.
