Know what loads when you visit. Our website code does not install analytics or advertising trackers. The embedded Google map loads automatically as you approach the footer and may use third-party cookies under Google's policies.
- Language comes from /pt/ or /en/, not a tracking cookie.
- Planner details are not saved between page loads.
- Google Maps loads automatically; your browser can restrict third-party cookies and external content.
1. Cookies, storage and technical requests
Cookies are small records a service can store in your browser. Local storage and session storage are other ways to save information on a device. Page memory is different: information lasts only while that page remains open. A service can also receive an IP address through a network request without setting a cookie.
2. What the website itself uses
Analytics and advertising: no trackers installed by the website code. Language: selected by URL, with no language cookie. Planner and form: current-page memory only, with no browser storage. Google Maps: an automatically loaded third-party service with its own cookie practices. Fonts, editorial images and device artwork are served with the site rather than fetched from an external font service.
Hostinger hosting and delivery still process technical requests to serve and protect the website. Infrastructure security mechanisms are distinct from marketing trackers. Their exact behaviour can depend on the provider's configuration; this page does not claim that every infrastructure response is cookie-free.
3. Automatic Google Maps loading
The footer includes an embedded Google Maps map. It loads automatically as you approach the footer, using the browser's deferred-loading behaviour; no click is required. This makes a connection to Google. The written address and a separate Get directions link are also available.
When the map loads, Google may receive your IP address, browser details and interactions and may use cookies. Cookie names and lifetimes can vary with your Google settings, sign-in status, browser and Google's service; the clinic does not set a fixed expiry for those third-party cookies. Google's privacy and cookie information explains its practices.
4. Browser and account controls
Use your browser settings to block or delete third-party cookies and restrict external content. The controls and their effect depend on your browser. Deleting cookies does not undo information already transmitted to Google. Google's account controls can help you manage data associated with your Google account.
There is no map activation button or saved map preference on this website. Restricting Google Maps in your browser may stop the map working, but you can still read the clinic information and use the planner. The written address remains available even when the external map cannot load.
5. External links and future changes
Get directions, manufacturer references and other external links open a separate service only when you follow them. Email links use your chosen email application and provider. Those services have their own terms and privacy notices.
If analytics, advertising or other non-essential storage is introduced, this information and the controls must be updated before those features start. Where consent is required, optional features must wait for that choice; rejecting them must not prevent access to basic clinic information. Contact liberdade108@valdoleirosclinic.com with questions.
