This Cookie Notice explains how PASTANA MONTEIRO EMPREENDIMENTOS ONLINE LTDA and its digital platforms (“awdigi.com”, “We”, “Us” and “Our”) use cookies and similar tracking technologies, including SDKs (together, “cookies”) on or through our website at https://awdigi.com/ (“Platform”), or when you visit an awdigi.com member profile (“User Profile”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device. Website owners may use cookies for a number of reasons, which may include enabling the website to function (or to function more efficiently), providing personalized content and advertising, and creating analytics. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, awdigi.com) are called “first party cookies”. Only awdigi.com can access the first party cookies it sets.

Cookies set by parties other than awdigi.com are called “third party cookies”. Third party cookies enable third party features or functionality (e.g. like advertising, interactive content and social sharing) to be provided on or through the website. The parties that set these third party cookies on their websites can recognise your device both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits other websites that have partnered with them.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first party and third party cookies for a number of reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons that are strictly necessary to provide you with the awdigi.com services, and we refer to these as “essential” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to perform analytics, personalise and enhance your experience and/or show you more relevant content and advertising.

In addition to the cookies used by awdigi.com for these awdigi.com purposes, awdigi.com Users can adjust their settings to set first-party and third-party cookies in their awdigi.com User Profile for their own independent purposes of a similar nature.

The specific types of first-party and third-party cookies we serve through our Platform, and the purposes they perform, are described in our cookie consent tool, which you can access through your cookie preferences. This tool also describes the third-party cookies that awdigi.com members may choose to use in their User Profile and the purposes they perform.

What about other tracking technologies, such as web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other similar technologies from time to time, such as web beacons (sometimes called “tracking pixels” or “clear gifs”) on our website. These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our Platform or opened an email we have sent to them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within our Platform to another, deliver or communicate with cookies, understand whether you have come to our Platform from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, improve website performance, and measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many cases, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly and so refusing cookies will usually impair their functionality.

How can you control cookies?

In some countries (including where EU or UK law applies), you have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. In any case, you can exercise your cookie preferences through our cookie consent tool, which you can access by clicking Cookie Preferences. You can separately control whether to accept or reject cookies set by awdigi.com Users in their User Profiles.

In relation to the websites, you can also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.

If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website or app, although your access to some functionality and areas may be restricted.

How often will we update this Cookie Notice?

We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Notice regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Notice indicates when it was last updated.
