The Portuguese Chamber of Notaries Website, VAT number 507 680 316 and registered office at Avenida Visconde de Valmor, n.º 19A , 1000- 290 Lisboa, Portugal (the “Website”) uses “Cookies” and/or similar technologies, both its own and those of third parties, in accordance with the provisions of the present Cookies Policy.
You may decide if you wish to install Cookies that are not considered necessary.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are files containing small amounts of information, downloaded to the User’s device whenever they visit a web page.
Cookies, therefore, allow a website to “remember” individual browsers and, consequently, “remember” whether an individual has used a particular browser, amongst other options.
Cookies and similar technologies are often linked to information that is not personally identifiable (for example, the time of a visit to the Website).
However, because it is possible to identify a single computer via its browser, data can be used to monitor a computer’s online movements and to profile browsing habits linked to that specific computer and, in most cases, linked to an individual.
As a result, Cookies can also collect personal data and must, therefore, be subject to the General Data Protection Regulation and the ePrivacy Directive.

- Third-party cookies: those that are sent to the User’s device from a computer or domain not managed by the publisher (The Portuguese Chamber of Notaries), but by another entity that developed them and processes the data obtained from said cookies.
However, if the Cookies are made available from a computer or domain managed by the publisher, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered Own Cookies, if that third party uses them for its own purposes.
