Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 2026

At Minha Dose de IA, we prioritize your privacy and digital transparency. This Cookie Policy explains clearly what cookies are, how we use them on our website, what categories exist, and how you can manage or withdraw your consent at any time.

This document should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) by your browser when you visit a website. They act as a temporary memory for web pages, allowing the site to remember your preferences (such as selected language, display settings, and security status) so you do not have to reconfigure them each time you browse.

2. How Minha Dose de IA Uses Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to:

  • Ensure secure, stable, and fast delivery of our website infrastructure;
  • Remember your preferred reading language (English or Portuguese);
  • Record your cookie choices so the consent banner does not repeatedly disrupt your reading;
  • Understand anonymously which articles and tutorials resonate most with readers, enabling continuous editorial improvements;
  • Deliver relevant contextual advertising and affiliate recommendations without compromising individual privacy.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We organize our cookies into three straightforward categories:

3.1. Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are required for the website to function properly. Without them, core functions such as secure navigation, server load balancing, language routing, and saving your consent preferences cannot operate. As such, they cannot be deactivated via our preferences center.

  • mdia_cookie_consent: Stores your active consent decisions for analytical and marketing cookies. Retention: 180 days.
  • pll_language: Managed by Polylang to maintain your chosen language across site pages. Retention: 1 year.
  • Security & Hosting Cookies (Hostinger / LiteSpeed): Maintain session integrity, cache acceleration, and protection against unauthorized attacks. Retention: session up to 1 day.

3.2. Analytics & Performance Cookies

These cookies collect anonymous aggregated information about visitor behavior, such as time spent on articles, popular topics, and navigation paths. This data is purely statistical and never directly identifies individual users.

  • Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_*): Measures anonymous interaction metrics. In compliance with Google Consent Mode v2, these tags initialize with consent denied and only activate after your explicit permission. Retention: up to 2 years.

3.3. Marketing & Advertising Cookies

These cookies support our publication by displaying relevant advertising (via Google AdSense) and tracking outbound affiliate recommendations (such as the Amazon Associates program).

  • Google AdSense (__gads, __gpi): Delivers contextual non-intrusive advertisements. If you choose to decline marketing cookies, you will still see ads, but they will be generic and non-personalized. Retention: up to 13 months.
  • Affiliate Tracking Cookies: Record referral clicks on recommended hardware, books, or software, allowing us to earn qualifying commissions at no extra cost to you. Retention: 24 hours to 30 days.
  • US Privacy Notice (CCPA / CPRA): Deactivating marketing cookies operates as an automated “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” opt-out for California and US residents.

4. Managing and Revoking Your Preferences

You retain full authority over non-essential cookies at all times:

4.1. Via Our On-Site Cookie Preferences Center

You can adjust or revoke your consent at any moment by clicking the small circular cookie icon pinned to the lower-left corner of every page. This opens the Preferences Center, where you can toggle Analytics and Marketing categories on or off with immediate effect.

4.2. Via Your Web Browser Settings

You can also instruct your web browser to reject or delete cookies globally. For detailed instructions, consult your browser’s documentation:

5. International Compliance & Legal Framework

Our cookie implementation adheres to leading global privacy standards:

  • LGPD (Brazil – Law 13.709/2018): Strict opt-in for non-essential tracking and granular consent choice.
  • GDPR & ePrivacy Directive (European Union & UK): Prior consent requirement before executing analytics and advertising scripts.
  • CCPA & CPRA (California / United States): Explicit opt-out mechanism respecting universal privacy signals and choice.

6. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may revise this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect technological changes, new platform capabilities, or legal requirements. The updated date will always be displayed at the top of this document.
