Last updated: April 2026
STRATECHNA – Tecnologia e Serviços Empresariais, Lda (hereinafter “Stratechna”), responsible for the websites stratechna.pt, stratechna.com, webgate.pt and mbontime.pt, uses cookies and other local data storage mechanisms on its sites. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, what types we use, for what purposes and how you can manage your preferences.
This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, available at stratechna.pt/politica-de-privacidade.
1. Legal Basis
The use of cookies is regulated by **Law No. 41/2004, of 18 August** (transposing ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC), as amended by Law No. 46/2012, and by **Regulation (EU) 2016/679** (GDPR).
Under the law, the storage of information on a user’s device — or access to information already stored — requires the user’s prior and informed consent, except where cookies are strictly necessary for the functioning of the requested service.
2. What Are Cookies?
2.1. Collection of Browsing Data
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your browser or device when you visit them. They allow the site to recognise your device and remember information about your visit — such as your language preferences, items in your shopping cart or the fact that you are logged in.
There are different types of cookies depending on their origin and duration:
- By origin:
- First-party cookies: set directly by the website you are visiting;
- Third-party cookies: set by domains external to the website visited (e.g. analytics, advertising or social media platforms).
- By duration:
- Session cookies: automatically deleted when you close your browser;
- Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a defined period, even after closing the browser.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functionality such as navigating between pages, accessing secure areas, managing user sessions and the operation of the shopping cart. Without them, the website will not work properly.
They do not require consent — they are activated automatically and cannot be disabled.
Examples of purposes:
- Maintaining an authenticated user session;
- Remembering the state of the shopping cart (stratechna.pt);
- Operation of the account management panel (portal.stratechna.com);
- Recording the user’s cookie preferences.
3.2. Performance and Analytics Cookies (Statistics)
These cookies collect information about how users interact with the website — pages visited, time spent, errors encountered — on an anonymous and aggregated basis. They do not identify individual users. They are used solely to improve the browsing experience and the quality of our services.
They require your consent.
Examples of tools used:
- Google Analytics (or equivalent with IP anonymisation active);
- Internal traffic analysis tools.
3.3. Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made previously — such as your preferred language, region or other customisations — to provide you with a more tailored experience. They do not track your activity on other websites.
3.4. Marketing and Advertising Cookies
These cookies are used to display relevant adverts based on your interests and browsing behaviour, both on our websites and on other sites you visit. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advert and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
They require your consent.
Examples of platforms that may set this type of cookie:
- Google Ads / Google Tag Manager;
- Meta (Facebook / Instagram);
- LinkedIn.
3.5. Third-Party Content Cookies
Some pages on our websites may contain embedded third-party content — such as YouTube or Vimeo videos, Google Maps or social media widgets. These external services may set their own cookies when you interact with such content.
They require your consent. Stratechna does not control the cookies set by these services; we recommend that you consult their respective privacy policies.
