Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 12, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how BOCEAN IMMIGRATION PORTUGAL, LDA uses cookies on nif-express.com. We use strictly necessary cookies to operate the service and analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to remember your actions and preferences (such as login state) over time, so you don't have to re-enter them on every page.
Cookies we use
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
nifexpress_session |
Maintains your logged-in session and the multi-step checkout state. Without this cookie the site cannot function. | Strictly necessary | 8 hours |
nif-consent-v2 |
Records your cookie choice (accepted or declined) so we do not ask again. Kept in your browser's local storage; it is never sent to our servers. | Strictly necessary | 6 months, then we ask again |
nif_utm |
Records the campaign parameters (utm_*, gclid) of the advert you arrived from, so we can tell which advert produced an order. Only written after you accept. |
Advertising measurement | 30 days |
__cf_* |
Set by Cloudflare to identify trusted web traffic and protect against DDoS attacks. | Strictly necessary (security) | 30 days |
__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid |

Set by Microsoft Clarity to record anonymised session replays and heatmaps. Data is processed by Microsoft Corporation. See Microsoft's Privacy Statement. | Analytics | 1 year / 1 day |
Advertising measurement
We advertise our service on Google. To know which adverts lead to an order —
and for no other purpose — we use Google Ads conversion measurement
(_gcl_au and related cookies, set by Google, kept for up to 90 days).
This tells us that an order came from a given advert; it does not build
an advertising profile of you and we do not use it to follow you around other
websites.
What we do not use
We do not use:
- Retargeting or remarketing cookies that follow you across other websites
- Social-network advertising pixels (Facebook/Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.)
- Behavioural profiling cookies for marketing purposes
- Cookies that sell or share your data with third parties for commercial purposes
Cookie consent
Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under the EU ePrivacy Directive (Directive 2002/58/EC) and Article 5 of Portuguese Law 41/2004. Every other technology on this site is only activated after you accept it in the cookie banner. Until you accept, Google Consent Mode v2 keeps ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization and analytics_storage set to denied, Microsoft Clarity is not loaded at all, and the nif_utm cookie is not written. We do not rely on legitimate interest for analytics or advertising cookies. If you decline, the service works exactly the same.
ad_personalization stays denied even if you accept, because we use advertising data only to count conversions — never to build audiences or to show you personalised or remarketing adverts.
Your choice is stored in your browser under nif-consent-v2 and expires after six months, when we ask again. You can change or withdraw it at any moment — withdrawing is as easy as giving it: change your cookie choice. You may also write to [email protected] or clear cookies in your browser settings.
How to manage cookies
You can disable or delete cookies using your browser settings. Disabling the strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from using the service (you will not be able to log in or complete a checkout).
