What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser so it can remember something between page loads — your language, the fact that you closed a banner, or a session identifier for analytics. This page lists every cookie this site can set, why, for how long, and who provides it.
Categories follow the EDPB classification: strictly necessary (always on, no consent needed), analytics (consent required), marketing (consent required).
Strictly necessary cookies
Always active. Required for the site to work.
| Name | Duration | Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| cc_cookie | 6 months | alexgoes.dev | Stores your cookie preferences so the consent banner does not reappear on every page. |
| NEXT_LOCALE | 1 year | alexgoes.dev | Remembers the language you selected (en, pt, uk). |
Analytics cookies
Set only after you click Accept all (or enable Analytics in Options). Removed if you withdraw consent.
| Name | Duration | Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | 2 years | Google LLC | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated client ID. Used by Google Analytics 4 to count sessions. |
| _ga_<CONTAINER-ID> | 2 years | Google LLC | Persists the GA4 session state. Set only after you accept analytics cookies. |
Marketing cookies
Not currently set. If we ever add advertising tools (Google Ads, Meta Pixel), they will appear here and require separate consent.
Managing your choices
Open at any time (also linked in the footer) to change which categories you allow. Withdrawing consent immediately clears the corresponding cookies and stops further tracking.
You can also manage cookies directly in your browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge all let you block or delete cookies on a per-site basis. Doing so does not affect the strictly necessary ones (the site needs them to function).
Server-side data
Some data is recorded on the server without cookies: HTTP request logs (IP, user-agent, requested URL) are kept for 14 days for security and debugging, then deleted. These logs are not used for analytics or advertising.
Third-party processors
When analytics is enabled, anonymised event data is sent to Google LLC under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. See the Privacy Policy for full details on transfers and your rights.
