Verdaneo uses one cookie: the one that keeps you logged in. There is no tracking, no
analytics, no advertising, and therefore no cookie banner.

pixels. Your interface settings, such as the display language, are stored in your account on
the server, not on your device.
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.**
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.
