Cookies and browser storage
The website does not set any cookie or analytics tracker before you agree to it. It keeps the following on your own device only:

| eoi-cookie | Browser storage | Remembers your choice in the cookie banner | When you answer the cookie banner |
| googtrans | Cookie | Remembers the translation language | Only when you select Hindi or Portuguese |
Selecting Hindi or Portuguese loads Google Translate from translate.google.com. The Facebook timeline and the Google map on the home page and the Contact page are loaded only when you select "Show" or accept functional cookies; these services may then set their own cookies.
