Privacy policy

This page explains what happens to the information of Piratininga’s visitors. The site is the responsibility of Piratininga, which you can reach at contato@piratininga.org.

What the site does not ask for

Piratininga has no sign-up, reader accounts, comments, newsletter or form that asks for your details. You read everything without giving your name, email address or any other information.

What happens when you open a page

As on any website, the server receives the technical data of each page request, such as the IP address and the type of browser. They are used to deliver the page and keep the site running.

When you open a page, it sends the advertising service the site uses the page’s language, any parameters the address carries and three technical signals from the browser: the domain of the site you came from, the browser’s display mode and whether the screen is touch-sensitive. When the visit comes from an ad, the address usually carries campaign parameters (such as utm_campaign) and Google click identifiers (gclid, gbraid or wbraid). That service uses this information only at the moment of the request, to decide whether the page takes you on to a next address and how to open it, and keeps no record of visits.

Ads and traffic checks

The ads appear in spaces marked “Advertising space” and are delivered by the advertising service the site uses. The ad shown depends only on the size of the space and the moment, not on who you are.

On some pages, a traffic-checking service analyses technical signals from the browser and the connection, such as the IP address and the user agent, to tell visits by people apart from automated traffic. This check works regardless of your choice about measurement cookies. When the address of the visit carries a campaign identifier and the result allows it, the page may take you to a page of an advertising partner, as the advertising disclosure explains.

Measurement, with your permission

On your first visit, a bar at the bottom of the page asks whether you accept measurement cookies. If you accept, the Google tag may use cookies to measure whether the ads that brought visitors here worked. If you decline, or until you answer, Google’s consent mode stays denied and this measurement uses no cookies.

Your choice is stored in your browser, in the piratininga_luz cookie and in a copy in the site’s local storage. You can change your mind whenever you like on the cookies page, which explains each item.

Messages you send

If you write to contato@piratininga.org, the message is used only to reply and, where relevant, to correct an article. It is not used to send advertising.
