Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 06/04/2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

2. How We Use Cookies

João Brandão Online Store uses cookies to improve your shopping experience, remember your preferences, and analyze our traffic. We use both "session" cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and "persistent" cookies (which stay on your device until they expire or you delete them).

3. The Types of Cookies We Use

A. Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you, such as:

• Setting your privacy preferences.
• Logging into your account.
• Adding items to your shopping cart (crucial for both original art and POD orders).

B. Analytical/Performance Cookies

These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us improve the way our website works (e.g., ensuring you find what you are looking for easily).

• Example: Google Analytics.

C. Functional Cookies

These are used to recognize you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalize our content for you and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

D. Third-Party & Production Cookies

Because we use Prodigi for print-on-demand services and secure payment gateways (like Stripe or PayPal), these third parties may set cookies on your device to ensure the transaction and fulfillment process works correctly.

4. Managing Your Cookies

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

• Browser Settings: You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted (like the checkout process).
• Consent Banner: When you first visit our site, a banner will appear asking for your consent to use non-essential cookies. You can change these settings at any time.

5. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
