Last revision 1 March 2026

This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar technologies are used on the website https://caldervance.com/ (hereinafter — the “Website”), operated by Ventos Arqueáveis Unipessoal Lda (NIPC 519153529), operating under the Calder & Vance brand (hereinafter — the “Firm” or the “Operator”), the purposes for which they are used, the data that may be processed with their help, and how the Visitor can manage their settings.

This Cookie Policy supplements the Privacy Policy published at https://caldervance.com/privacy. In the event of any inconsistency, the Privacy Policy shall prevail with respect to the processing of personal data.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on the Visitor’s device (computer, tablet, smartphone) by the browser when the Visitor accesses a website. Cookies allow the website to recognise the Visitor’s device on subsequent visits, save user preferences, ensure the proper operation of the website and collect anonymised usage statistics.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, “similar technologies” include browser local storage (localStorage, sessionStorage), pixels, web beacons and other means that record the fact of a visit to the Website and interactions occurring on it.

2. Cookies used on the Website

Cookies used on the Website are divided by duration into:

• Session cookies — are deleted when the browser is closed;
• Persistent cookies — are stored on the device for a certain period.

By purpose, the Website may use the following categories of cookies:

2.1. Strictly necessary (technical) cookies

These cookies ensure the basic functioning of the Website: displaying pages, navigation, submitting the “Request a Snapshot” form or the contact form, as well as saving the Visitor’s choice regarding cookies or necessary form security checks. Without these cookies, the Website may operate incorrectly. The Visitor’s consent may not be required for their use if they are necessary for the functioning of the Website.

Source: the Website platform, hosting and other technical infrastructure used by the Operator.

2.2. Analytical cookies

Analytical cookies are used to collect anonymised statistics about Website traffic and visitor behaviour for the purpose of improving the Website. The Website may use privacy-oriented analytical technologies and form-processing technologies configured by the Website administrator.

Analytical cookies record the number of visits, referral source, device used and general behaviour on the Website (click maps, scrolling, navigation, form submission). These data by themselves do not allow a specific Visitor to be identified without being matched with other information.

2.3. Third-party cookies

In addition to its own cookies, the Website may use cookies set by third parties: the Website platform, hosting providers, providers of forms, analytics, CRM, messengers and other services. Such cookies are set by the relevant service in accordance with its own data-processing rules.

As of the date of this Cookie Policy, third-party technologies used on the Website may include the Website platform, hosting provider, form-processing tools and analytics providers configured for the Website.

2.4. Marketing / advertising cookies

As of the date of this Cookie Policy, the Website does not use third-party marketing or advertising cookies, such as Google Ads, Meta Pixel or similar tools, unless otherwise separately stated on the Website. If such technologies are introduced, this Cookie Policy must be updated.

3. Data processed using cookies

The following data may be processed using cookies:

• IP address of the Visitor’s device;
• browser type, version and language; operating-system type and screen resolution;
• source of referral to the Website, search queries;
• pages visited by the Visitor, as well as the time and duration of the visit;
• actions performed on the Website (clicks, scrolling, form submissions);
• session identifier and other technical identifiers.

These data are processed primarily in anonymised form and are not used to identify the Visitor as a specific individual outside ordinary web analytics.

4. Legal basis for processing

The legal bases for processing data collected using cookies are:

• for technical cookies — the Operator’s legitimate interest in ensuring the operation of the Website and processing Visitors’ requests in accordance with applicable law;
• for analytical and other optional cookies — the Visitor’s consent, expressed by continuing to use the Website after notification and/or by clicking the relevant button in the cookie banner.

5. Cookie retention periods

Cookie retention periods depend on the type of cookie:

• Session cookies — are deleted when the browser is closed;
• Persistent cookies may be stored for up to 1 year from the date of the Visitor’s last visit to the Website or until they are deleted by the Visitor through browser settings.
• Cookies of analytical services — are stored for the period established by the relevant provider, usually no more than 2 years from the date of the last interaction.

6. Managing cookies

At any time, the Visitor may:

• withdraw consent to optional cookies through the cookie banner on the Website (if available);
• delete previously stored cookies through browser settings;
• prohibit the setting of new cookies in the browser’s privacy settings;
• opt out of optional analytical cookies through available browser, banner or provider mechanisms, if such mechanisms are available.

Instructions for managing cookies are available on the websites of the developers of the main browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Yandex Browser).

Disabling technical cookies may result in the partial or complete inoperability of the Website. Disabling analytical cookies does not affect the availability of the Website.

7. Cross-border data transfer

Data collected using cookies may be processed on the infrastructure of the Website platform, hosting, analytics and service providers used by the Operator. Cross-border transfer of personal data, if carried out, is governed by the Privacy Policy and applicable law.
