Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. Some are essential for the site to work; others help us understand how it's used, only with your permission.

2. Cookies we use

Essential (always on — the site cannot run without these):

Name	Purpose	Duration
sst-cart-v1	Stores your cart contents locally so it survives page navigation and reloads	Until cleared or cart is emptied
sst-consent	Remembers your cookie preferences	12 months
Locale preference	Remembers whether you're browsing the English or Portuguese site	12 months

Analytics (off by default — loads only after you opt in):

Name	Purpose	Duration
_ga, _ga_*	Google Analytics 4 — understand page visits and site usage	Up to 14 months (Google default)

We use no marketing or advertising cookies.

3. How consent works

On your first visit, a banner asks you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences in detail. No non-essential cookie or script loads before you make a choice — nothing is pre-ticked, and rejecting is exactly as easy as accepting. Your choice is stored and respected on every later visit, and you can change it at any time.

4. How to change your choice

Use the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of any page, or the "Manage preferences" link on this page, to reopen the preferences panel and update your choice at any time.

5. Third parties

Where you've consented to analytics, Google Analytics 4 is provided by Google LLC/Google Ireland Limited. Google's own privacy practices apply to data it processes; see Google's privacy policy for detail.
