Cookie Policy

Last updated: 10/10/2026

This is a courtesy translation. In case of any discrepancy, the Portuguese version prevails.

Cookies are small files that a website stores in your browser. Local storage (localStorage and sessionStorage) works in a similar way, but the data stays only on your device. This page lists everything Gira stores in your browser, in line with the LGPD and the ANPD's Guidance on Cookies. It supplements the Privacy Policy.

Summary

  • We use only a few first-party cookies, all essential for the site to work securely. They don't require consent and are not used to track you.
  • We don't use third-party analytics or tracking tools.
  • The only use that depends on your consent is personalized ads from Google, shown only to visitors and Free accounts on content pages. On those pages, we ask first, and no ad is requested until you make a choice.

Essential cookies (no consent required)

  • gira_session (first-party) · Purpose: to keep you logged in, protect forms against attacks (CSRF) and count free usage by visitors. · Duration: until the login session ends (12 hours by default) or until you log out. · Type: essential, signed, HttpOnly.
  • gira_visitante (first-party) · Purpose: to count the daily free uses of people using the tools without an account, so that people on the same network (office, public Wi-Fi) don't share the same balance. It stores only a random code, with no personal data. · Duration: 180 days. · Type: essential, HttpOnly.
  • gira_ads_consent (first-party, only on pages with ads) · Purpose: to remember your choice about personalized ads (“accepted” or “declined”), so we don't ask again on every page. · Duration: 180 days. · Type: essential (record of consent preference).
  • gira_lang (first-party) · Purpose: to remember the language you chose in the language selector. · Duration: 1 year. · Type: functional, HttpOnly, no personal data.
  • __cf_bm and cf_clearance (Cloudflare, when applicable) · Purpose: to tell people apart from bots and protect the site against attacks. · Duration: short, usually 30 minutes. · Type: essential, security.

Browser local storage (functional, no consent required)

This data stays only on your device, is not sent to our server and only serves to make your own use of the site easier:

  • gira-theme (localStorage) · Purpose: to remember whether you prefer the light or dark theme. · Duration: until you clear your browser data. · Type: functional.
  • gira:recent-tools (localStorage) · Purpose: to show shortcuts to the last tools you used. · Duration: until you clear your browser data. · Type: functional.
  • gira_download_history (localStorage) · Purpose: a list of your latest downloads (file name and date) on this device. · Duration: until you clear your browser data. · Type: functional. On shared computers, clear your browser data when you're done.
  • gira_downloads (sessionStorage) · Purpose: a list of downloads in the current session (file name and size). · Duration: deleted when you close the tab. · Type: functional.

Advertising cookies (require your consent)

  • Google AdSense cookies (for example, __gads, __gpi, __eoi and IDE, on Google and DoubleClick domains) · Purpose: to show ads, measure results and, if you accept, personalize ads based on your visits to this and other sites. · Duration: set by Google, usually from a few minutes up to 13 months. · Type: advertising, third-party.

If you accept personalized ads, Google may show ads based on your interests. If you choose “Generic ads only” (or “Essentials only”), we only show non-personalized ads: they don't use your history to choose the ad, but Google may still use cookies to limit repetition, measure results in aggregate and fight fraud. For visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the choice is made in Google's own certified consent message.

Other third-party services

  • Site fonts: are hosted by Gira itself. Opening a page does not send your data to third-party font services.
  • Log in with Google or Microsoft: if you choose to log in through them, these services use their own cookies on their pages, under each one's policies.

How to change your preferences

  • Ads and statistics: use the “Cookie preferences” link in the footer to accept or decline whenever you want. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. You can also use Google Ad Settings.
  • Browser: you can delete or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies prevents you from logging in.
  • Paid plan: Plus and Business subscribers don't see ads, and no advertising cookies are loaded for them.

Changes to this policy

If we start using a new cookie that requires consent, we will update this page and ask for your choice before using it.
