Verdaneo — Cookies and similar technologies

Version: 0.1 (draft) · Last updated: [DATE]

Short version

Verdaneo uses one cookie: the one that keeps you logged in. There is no tracking, no

analytics, no advertising, and therefore no cookie banner.

The one cookie

Security attributes: `HttpOnly` (JavaScript cannot read it), `Secure` (sent only over HTTPS),

`SameSite=Lax` or `Strict` (not sent from other websites) — **[CONFIRM the final value in the

code and write it here]**.

What we do not use

server.

pixels. Your interface settings, such as the display language, are stored in your account on

the server, not on your device.

Why there is no consent banner

Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, implemented in Portugal by Lei n.º 41/2004 (Art. 5),

requires consent before storing information on a user's device — except where the storage is

strictly necessary to provide a service that the user has explicitly requested.

A first-party authentication cookie that exists only to keep a logged-in user logged in falls

squarely within that exemption. It is set only after you deliberately log in, it does nothing

except identify your session, it is not read by anyone else, and the service you asked for

(your private garden dashboard) cannot work without it.

Because Verdaneo sets no non-essential storage of any kind, there is nothing left to ask

consent for. A consent banner would be a banner with nothing to consent to.

This exemption covers only the session cookie. **If any analytics, marketing, embedded

third-party content or A/B testing is ever added, a compliant consent mechanism (opt-in, with an

equally easy refusal, before anything is stored) becomes mandatory, and this page must be

updated first.**

Controlling cookies

You can delete cookies or block them in your browser settings. If you block Verdaneo's session

cookie, you will not be able to stay logged in and the app will not work.
