Privacy and
your choices.
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand our audience and improve the blog's content. Measurement is optional: the Google tag is loaded only after you accept analytics.
Last updated: October 20, 2026.
What is measured
After you accept, Google Analytics may record pages visited, interactions according to its measurement settings, access times, referral sources, and information about your browser, device, and approximate location. Cookies such as _ga and _ga_MS621M17ZD help distinguish visits and sessions; they do not identify people by name.
We do not send names, email addresses, or account identifiers. We remove query parameters and fragments from the page and referral URLs supplied in the initial configuration. We disable Google Signals and ad personalization signals in the tag; advertising consent remains denied.
Who processes the data
Google processes analytics data on its infrastructure, which may be outside Brazil. See the Google Privacy Policy and the explanation of data from sites that use Google services. We do not load the tag or send events to Google Analytics before you accept or after you decline.
How to control data collection
You can accept or decline in the cookie notice and change your choice under “Cookie preferences” in the footer. If you decline after accepting, we disable collection, remove analytics cookies accessible to the site, and reload the page to unload the tag. This does not delete data already sent to Google.
Your choice is saved in this browser's local storage for up to 180 days. Analytics cookies are set to last up to 180 days without being renewed on every visit. If you clear your browser data or use another device, you will be asked again. If storage is blocked, your choice applies to the current page.
Language preference
Your manual language choice is saved in this browser without an expiration date, in local storage (hts-language). It is independent of analytics consent. You can change the language in the header or clear your browser data to remove this preference.
Other website services
Our hosting provider receives the requests needed to serve pages. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, independently of your analytics choice. External links lead to services with their own privacy policies.
