1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small files or identifiers used by websites and online services to enable functionality, store preferences or collect information about how the service is used.
In addition to cookies, there may be similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, tags, SDKs or identifiers associated with embedded content.
2. Who manages this website
The Corrida do Dragão (Dragon Race) website is managed by GSX PORTUGAL, UNIPESSOAL, LDA, NIPC 514779012, which uses the brand GlobalSport.
Contact: info@globalsport.pt.
3. Consent rule
Cookies or technologies strictly necessary for the operation of a service requested by the user may be used without consent where the law allows it.
Cookies and technologies for analytics, advertising, non-essential personalisation or external content that involve storing information on, or accessing, the user's device must not be activated before valid consent is given.
Merely continuing to browse does not constitute consent.
4. Categories
Necessary
These enable essential functions, such as security, session management, abuse prevention or storing the user's consent preferences.
These elements are active when they are technically necessary for the functionality requested.
Analytics
These may be used to understand how the website is used, measure performance and produce statistics.
They must remain disabled until the user authorises this category, unless a solution is used that is demonstrably exempt from consent under the applicable legal rules.
Marketing
These may enable advertising measurement, audience building or tracking across websites.
If this category exists, it must remain disabled until specific consent is given.
External content
Videos, maps, course tools, social media widgets and other embedded content may connect to third-party providers and generate identifiers or technical data.
Where such content is not strictly necessary, it must be blocked until it is authorised in the appropriate category, or presented through a click-to-load mechanism.
5. Managing preferences
On the first visit, where non-essential technologies exist, the user must be able to:
- Accept the optional categories;
- Reject the optional categories;
- Customise the choice by category.
The option to reject must be as accessible as the option to accept.
The user may change or withdraw their choice at any time through the Manage cookies option permanently available in the footer.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the processing lawfully carried out before that withdrawal.
6. Up-to-date inventory
The up-to-date technical inventory must be available in the Manage cookies panel and indicate, for each technology where applicable:
- name;
- provider;
- category;
- purpose;
- duration;
- whether it is a first-party or third-party cookie.
The list shown in the panel must match the actual configuration of the website and be updated whenever services are added or removed.
At present, the website uses:
| Name | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration | Origin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cdd_consentimento | Corrida do Dragão | Necessary | Stores the user's cookie choice | 6 months | First-party |
| Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics | Analytics | Website usage statistics | As per Google's configuration | Third-party, only after consent | |
| Google Ads | Marketing | Campaign measurement | As per Google's configuration | Third-party, only after consent | |
| YouTube | External content | Event video, loaded only on click | As per YouTube | Third-party, click-to-load | |
| Course maps | Map provider | External content | Interactive map, loaded only on click | As per the provider | Third-party, click-to-load |
7. Google Tag Manager and tag-managed tools
The use of a tag manager must not allow analytics, marketing or other optional technologies to run before the user has made their choice.
The consent state must be applied before any consent-dependent tags fire.
8. Video, maps and other iframes
Where YouTube videos, maps, course tools or other external services are embedded, the website must minimise automatic connections to third parties before the user has made their choice.
Whenever appropriate, a local placeholder should be used, with the option to load the external content after the user's decision.
9. Transfers to third countries
Some technology providers may process information outside the European Economic Area. The relevant information about the providers and their transfer mechanisms must be made available in the Privacy Policy and/or in the cookie panel where applicable.
10. How to configure your browser
The user can also control cookies through the browser settings. Deleting or blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect some technical functionality.
11. Changes
This Policy will be updated whenever there are relevant changes to the technologies used, the purposes of processing or legal requirements.
