Last updated: October 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels. Cookies allow a website to recognise your device, remember your preferences and support its essential functions. Some cookies are set by the website itself and others by third parties.
2. Why SBS Uses Cookies
SBS Bioenergy Trading, Lda (“SBS”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies to keep this website operating securely, to remember your cookie preferences, and — where third-party content is embedded — to enable that content to function. We keep our use of cookies to the minimum required.
3. Cookie Categories
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and to be secure — for example session and authentication cookies for logged-in areas, load-balancing and security cookies. They do not require your consent. This category is currently in use.
Functional cookies
These cookies remember choices you make (such as preferences or settings) to improve your experience. This category is not currently in use on this website.
Analytics cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website. This category is not currently in use on this website. If we enable analytics in the future, we will place such cookies only with your prior consent and update this policy.
Marketing and third-party cookies
These cookies track visitors across websites for advertising purposes. This category is not currently in use on this website.
4. Third-Party Embedded Content
Parts of this website may embed third-party content, such as videos hosted on YouTube. When you interact with embedded third-party content, the provider may set its own cookies or collect technical data (such as your IP address) under its own privacy policy. We do not control these cookies. If you prefer to avoid them, do not play the embedded content, or block third-party cookies in your browser. Links to external websites such as LinkedIn do not set cookies unless you follow them.
5. Cookie Duration
Cookies are either session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Your cookie preferences are stored on your device for up to 12 months, after which we will ask you again.
6. Consent and Managing Your Preferences
When you first visit this website, we show a cookie banner where you can accept all cookies, accept only strictly necessary cookies, or set your preferences by category. Your choices are stored on your device and respected on subsequent visits.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by selecting “Cookie Preferences” in the Legal section of our website footer, which reopens the cookie banner. You can also control and delete cookies through your browser settings; note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from functioning.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or in applicable law. The current version is always available on this page. Where a change materially affects your rights, we will ask for your consent again where required.
