Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This policy explains what information Portugal Dispatch collects from visitors and how it's used.
Information we collect
Like most websites, we may collect basic technical information automatically, such as browser type, device type, approximate location (derived from IP address), and pages visited, through standard web server logs and analytics tools. If you subscribe to a newsletter or contact us directly, we collect the information you provide (such as your email address) for that specific purpose only.
Cookies and advertising
We may use cookies for basic site functionality and analytics. If we run advertising (including services like Google AdSense), our ad partners may use cookies to serve relevant ads based on your visit to this and other sites. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.
Third-party links
Articles may link to external sources, including Portuguese and international news outlets, government sites, and, where disclosed, affiliate partners. We aren't responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.
Data sharing
We do not sell personal information to third parties. Information collected via analytics or advertising tools is handled according to those providers' own privacy policies.
Your choices
You can opt out of non-essential cookies through your browser settings. If you've contacted us directly and want your information removed from our records, email us at editor@portugaldispatch.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our practices evolve. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
