1. Introduction
Dant contra o Sobrenatural is an editorial project within the Dantverse universe, dedicated to publishing fictional horror, mystery, suspense, and adventure stories.
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies, identifiers, and similar technologies are used to support website functionality, security, reader ratings, audience analytics, and browsing features.
Personal data processing is subject to applicable legislation, particularly Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD), Law No. 13,709/2018.
This document complements our Privacy Policy.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small files stored in a browser that allow certain information to be recognized during a visit or on subsequent visits.
The blog may also use JavaScript, technical identifiers, internal records, and other technologies to provide website functions, protect the platform, and understand how visitors use its pages.
Some technologies are necessary for the service to function. Others are optional and depend on visitor preferences or another appropriate legal basis.
3. First-Party Cookies
The system shared with Dantverse includes the following cookies in its technical inventory.
portal_viewer
Provider: Dantverse
Duration: Up to 1 year.
Purpose: Pseudonymous browser identification, prevention of duplicate ratings, and measurement of unique visitors when analytics processing is authorized.
This identifier may serve different purposes. Its use to prevent duplicate ratings must be limited to protecting that feature and does not automatically authorize analytics processing rejected by the visitor.
portal_analytics_session
Provider: Dantverse
Duration: 30 minutes, renewed during activity.
Purpose: Grouping page views into sessions and measuring audience activity and engagement.
Its use must comply with visitor preferences and the applicable legal basis for browsing analytics.
PORTALDBIOADMIN
Provider: Dantverse
Duration: Up to 12 hours.
Purpose: Maintaining authentication and security within the administrative area.
This cookie is intended for administrators and is not used for commercial identification of ordinary readers.
Privacy choices may also be recorded technically to ensure that selected preferences are respected.
External services may use additional cookies depending on the integrations actually enabled.
4. Cookie Categories and Purposes
Essential and Security Cookies
These support necessary website functions, administrative authentication, security, abuse prevention, and features requested by visitors.
Depending on their purpose and applicable legal requirements, these activities may rely on legal bases other than consent.
Audience Analytics Cookies
The blog uses the Dantverse proprietary analytics infrastructure to understand readership and publication performance.
When enabled according to visitor preferences and the applicable legal basis, this system may collect:
-
Pages and URLs visited.
-
Traffic sources and referring websites.
-
Campaign parameters, including UTM values.
-
Selected language.
-
Device type and technical browser information.
-
Visits, sessions, and unique page views.
-
Active browsing time.
-
Page scroll percentage.
-
Website interactions and clicks on commercial links, where applicable.
These measurements help identify reader interests, evaluate the reading experience, and improve the website.
The proprietary analytics system does not necessarily depend on Google Analytics.
Where consent is required, optional cookies and tracking events must remain disabled until permission is granted.
5. Reader Ratings and Abuse Prevention
The blog's system may allow readers to rate stories and other publications.
Technical browser identifiers and security measures may be used to prevent repeated ratings of the same publication in the same language and reduce abusive activity.
These identifiers do not, by themselves, establish a visitor's civil identity.
IP addresses and browser information, such as user agent data, may also be processed in a limited manner for security, abuse prevention, and technical traffic classification.
Converting identifiers into hashes may reduce exposure of the original values, but does not necessarily make the resulting information fully anonymous.
Security and rating-integrity identifiers must not automatically be reused for analytics purposes rejected by the visitor.
6. Advertising and Commercial Links
The blog may display advertisements, product recommendations, and affiliate links where the corresponding services are enabled.
When visitors select an affiliate link, the system may record the interaction and redirect them to the relevant provider.
Records needed for secure redirection must be distinguished from optional behavioral tracking and commercial performance measurement.
After redirection, third-party websites may use their own cookies, identifiers, and attribution technologies.
Providers such as Amazon and Hotmart may apply their own privacy policies when their integrations are used.
Externally hosted images and resources may also transmit technical information to the relevant service providers.
Integrations requiring consent must respect the visitor's choices.
7. Google AdSense
Google AdSense may be used in the future, subject to approval, configuration, and activation.
If enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to display advertisements, measure performance, prevent fraud, and personalize advertising where authorized.
These activities depend on actual settings, visitor preferences, and applicable legislation.
For information about Google's practices:

To manage Google advertising preferences:
https://myadcenter.google.com/
Advertising in certain regions may require additional consent-management mechanisms.
8. Embedded Content and External Services
Publications may contain externally hosted images, videos, embedded content, and other third-party resources.
Loading this content may establish direct connections between a visitor's browser and external servers, transmitting technical information.
Where consent is required, the relevant integration must wait for authorization or another legally appropriate condition before loading.
Visitors should review the privacy policies of external services.
9. Consent Management
The cookie-management system should allow visitors to control optional technologies used by the blog.
The intended options are:
Accept All: Authorize the optional categories presented.
Reject Optional Cookies: Keep consent-based optional technologies disabled.
Manage Preferences: Select individual categories and save the chosen settings.
Strictly necessary cookies are not disabled merely because optional cookies are rejected.
Failure to respond, closing a notice, or continuing to browse must not automatically be treated as consent.
Rejecting optional technologies must not prevent access to publicly available stories and editorial content, although some external features may become unavailable.
10. Changing or Withdrawing Preferences
Once the preference manager is available, visitors may change or withdraw their choices through the website's Cookie Preferences option.
Withdrawing consent must stop new optional processing based on that consent, without affecting processing lawfully carried out before withdrawal.
Visitors may request deletion of previously collected personal information where applicable law permits.
Cookies may also be managed through browser settings.
11. Storage and Retention
First-party cookies have the technical durations described in Section 3.
These durations do not necessarily correspond to how long related records are retained in internal databases.
Analytics, session, rating, security, click, and preference records may have different retention periods depending on their purposes and applicable legal requirements.
Records should be retained only for as long as necessary and legally permitted.
12. Your Privacy Rights
Under the LGPD, visitors may exercise applicable rights relating to personal data processing.
These may include requesting access, correction, deletion, blocking, objecting to processing, and withdrawing consent, subject to legal requirements.
Further information is available in our Privacy Policy.
Requests concerning personal information may be sent to the contact address provided below.
13. Changes to This Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in website technologies, features, external integrations, or legal requirements.
Where necessary, new information will be presented or renewed consent choices requested.
