Cookies
What are cookies?
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, what types of cookies we use, what information may be collected through them and how you can manage your preferences.
Cookies are small text files used to store small amounts of information. They are saved on your device when a website is loaded in the browser.
Cookies can help ensure that the website works properly, strengthen security, improve the browsing experience and make it possible to analyse the website's performance, identifying what works best and where improvements can be made.
Cookies
How do we use cookies?
The Ribesa Advogados website sets a single first-party cookie for visitors, which is strictly necessary and stores your choice about cookies. Analytics and advertising tools are not merely prevented from storing cookies: before you consent, their scripts are not loaded at all and no data is sent to them. The third-party cookies described below are only used after you give your consent in the cookie banner, and only in the categories you accept.
First-party cookies are necessary for the website to work properly and do not collect data that directly identify the user.
Third-party cookies, if you accept them, mainly help us to understand how the website performs, analyse how users interact with the pages, strengthen security, show more relevant communications or advertisements and improve the overall browsing experience.
Cookies
Types of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to work and for managing your consent preferences. They are not used to identify you. On this website, the strictly necessary ones store your cookie choice and protect the forms against automated submissions (Cloudflare Turnstile, loaded only when you start filling in a form).
| Cookie | Provider | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| rb_consent | Ribesa Advogados | 6 months | Stores your cookie choice (which categories you allowed, and when), so we do not ask again on every page. After 6 months we ask again. |
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Cloudflare | During the check | Loaded only when you start filling in a form: checks that the submission is made by a person and not by an automated program. It is not used to measure visits or for advertising. |
| Google Maps (interactive map on the Contact page) | Set by Google | Loaded only if you ask for the interactive map on the Contact page (“Load the map” or “Explore map” button); until then the map is an image hosted on this site. When it loads, Google receives your IP address and may set its own cookies (for example, NID), governed by Google's privacy policy. | |
| __Host-rb_admin | Ribesa Advogados | 12 hours | Only in the restricted area for Ribesa staff (never set for website visitors): keeps the session after login. |
Analytics and performance cookies
Analytics and performance cookies are used to understand how visitors use the website: number of visits, pages viewed, traffic sources and interaction with the content, in aggregated reports. They are only used after you give your consent, in the "Analytics and performance" category.
| Cookie | Provider | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | 13 months | Tells visitors apart with a random identifier, to count visits, sessions and traffic sources. |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | 13 months | Keeps the session state and counts page views. |
Advertising cookies
Advertising cookies are used to measure whether advertisements lead to consultation requests and to show more relevant advertisements. They are only used after you give your consent, in the "Advertising" category.
| Cookie | Provider | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Google Ads | 3 months | Measures Google ad conversions (consultation requests made after seeing an ad). |
| _gcl_aw | Google Ads | 3 months | Stores the ad click identifier, to link a consultation request to that ad. |
| _gcl_ls (local storage) | Google Ads | Until you withdraw consent | Stores in your browser the same ad-click data as the _gcl_* cookies, to measure conversions. |
| IDE, NID and others on Google domains | Google (doubleclick.net, google.com) | Up to 13 months | Cookies that Google sets on its own domains to measure and serve ads. They are governed by Google's privacy policy. |
| rb7_* (session storage) | Ribesa Advogados | Until you close the tab | Stores, during the visit, the campaign the visit came from and the first page viewed, to attach them to the consultation request. It is not a cookie; it stays in your browser only and is deleted when you close the tab. |
| ribesa_* (local storage) | Ribesa Advogados | Until you withdraw consent | Stores where the visit came from (campaign and ad identifier), to attach it to the consultation request. It is not a cookie; it stays in your browser only. |
