Cookies Policy
Last updated: 2026/09/23
This Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on www.joyn-ventures.com, why we use them and how you can control them.
1. Who is responsible
Joyn Ventures, part of the Joyn Group, registration number [NIPC], registered at [full address], is the controller of the personal data collected through cookies on this site. For any question contact us.
2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to work correctly, to remember your choices and to collect statistical information about how it is used. We also use equivalent technologies such as browser local storage; this policy applies to those as well.
3. Cookie categories we use
These are the same three categories you can control in the cookie preferences panel on this site.
3.1. Strictly necessary
Required for the site to function: security, session handling and storing your cookie choices. They cannot be switched off and do not require your consent.

| PHPSESSID | www.joyn-ventures.com | Maintains your session while you browse. | Session |
| wordpress_test_cookie | www.joyn-ventures.com | Checks whether your browser accepts cookies. | Session |
3.2. Analytics
Help us understand how visitors use the site — pages viewed, time spent, traffic sources — in aggregated form, so we can improve it. Only set with your consent.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes visitors for statistical purposes. | 2 years |
| _ga_[ID] | Google Analytics | Maintains analytics session state. | 2 years |
3.3. Marketing
Used to measure campaigns and show relevant content on other platforms. Only set with your consent.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| [_gcl_au] | Campaign conversion measurement. | 3 months |
4. Third-party content and links
Our pages include links that let you share content on Twitter/X, Facebook and LinkedIn. These are plain links: no cookies are set by those platforms unless you follow the link, at which point their own policies apply. The same is true of links to partner sites such as Portugal Ventures.
If we embed third-party content in future — for example a video player or a map — it will be listed in the tables above and blocked until you consent.
5. International transfers
Some third-party providers (such as Google) may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens, transfers rely on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses or on an applicable adequacy decision.
6. Managing your cookies
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie preferences panel on this site:
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site from working.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR you may request access to, rectification, erasure, restriction or portability of your personal data, and object to its processing, by contacting us. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Portuguese data protection authority, CNPD.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when we add services or change the cookies we use. The date of the latest version is shown at the top of this page. Significant changes will cause the consent banner to be shown again so you can review your choices.
