1. What cookies are
A cookie is a very small text file that a website asks your browser to store and hand back on later visits. It can serve ordinary purposes, such as remembering a chosen language, or it can follow your browsing across different pages and different websites.
This policy covers the public pages of gruporko.com.br. The internal management system, served under the /erp/ path of the same domain, is for corporate use, has its own session rules and is not covered by this document.
2. This site does not track you
Stated plainly, with no hedging: this website uses no tracking cookies. We checked this in the source code itself, and there is no:
- Google Analytics or any other audience measurement tool in the site code;
- social network pixel (Meta, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok) and no remarketing script;
- tag manager, such as Google Tag Manager;
- advertising, ad auction or audience sharing;
- behavioural profiling, visitor scoring or automated decision-making based on your browsing (the only automation that decides anything on the site is the contact form's anti-spam filter, which uses no cookie and does not follow your browsing; it is described in the Privacy Policy);
- heatmap, session recording or browsing replay tool, such as Hotjar and Clarity.
One item outside the code: Cloudflare, which delivers the site, has its own performance measurement (Cloudflare Web Analytics) that, when turned on in its dashboard, adds a script to the pages. It sets no cookie and does not identify the visitor. It is blocked in the careers area. [TO BE COMPLETED: confirm whether the automatic Cloudflare measurement is off; if it stays on, describe it here.]
Outside the careers area, the site sets no cookie of its own. In your browser's local storage it keeps a single thing: that you have seen the cookie notice. In the careers area, after sign-in, a cookie keeps you signed in. All of them are in the table in section 3. The Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube links in the footer are plain links: nothing is loaded from those services until you click.
Why the cookie notice only informs. Asking for consent is how you accept or refuse non-essential cookies, meaning the ones used for measurement, advertising and profiling. There is no cookie of that kind here, so the notice at the bottom of the page only tells you what exists and has a "Got it" button. If anything non-essential is ever added, the notice gets "Accept" and "Decline" buttons of the same size, as explained in section 6.
The technical cookies described in section 3 are strictly necessary to deliver the site securely. They rely on legitimate interest, the legal basis in article 7, item IX, of the LGPD, which is the basis the ANPD's guidance on cookies accepts for strictly necessary cookies, and for that reason they do not depend on prior consent. The careers area cookies exist for the sign-in the candidate asks for, and also rely on article 7, item V, of the LGPD (steps prior to an employment contract).
Legitimate interest is not a blank cheque: you may object to that processing and ask for more information about it through the e-mail address in section 7, and the browser remains the place where you block any cookie, as section 5 shows.
3. What actually exists
The site is delivered behind the Cloudflare network, which acts as a CDN and security layer, and by a web server (Caddy) in our own infrastructure. Caddy serves static files and records the request in its access log, but sets no cookie. The service that receives the contact form, on the same domain, answers only in JSON and sets no cookie either. Cloudflare, in turn, may set technical security cookies and may keep access logs of its own, containing the IP address, the requested address and the browser identification.
This is the complete list of what may end up stored in your browser when you visit gruporko.com.br:
Cookies that may be set during a visit to the site, with origin, type, purpose and duration| Name / Origin | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|
| __cf_bmCloudflare | Technical, strictly necessary | Tell a request made by a person from an automated one, so bots and abuse are contained before the page is served. | About 30 minutes |
|---|
| cf_clearanceCloudflare | Technical, strictly necessary | Record that the browser has already passed a security challenge, so you do not have to repeat the check on every page. | Set only when a challenge occurs. Its lifetime is defined by Cloudflare according to the protection settings. |
|---|
| conta_candidatogruporko.com.br (careers area) | First-party, strictly necessary | Keeps the candidate signed in to the careers area. Created only after sign-in, sent only to the careers area and not readable by the page JavaScript. | Up to 12 hours. Ends earlier after 60 minutes without use or when you sign out. |
|---|
| conta_candidato_googlegruporko.com.br (careers area) | First-party, strictly necessary | Ties the return from Google to the sign-in request made by this browser, so nobody can forge a sign-in in your name. Exists only when you click Sign in with Google. | 10 minutes. Deleted as soon as Google sends you back to the site. |
|---|
| rko-aviso-cookiesgruporko.com.br (browser local storage, not a cookie) | First-party, strictly necessary | Remembers that you have seen the cookie notice. Stores only the notice version and your choice, with no identifier. | Until you clear the site data in your browser. |
|---|
| Security check (Turnstile)Cloudflare (challenges.cloudflare.com) | Technical, strictly necessary | In order tracking and the careers area, when enabled, checks that whoever looks up an order, signs up or signs in is a person and not a bot. Runs in a Cloudflare frame; what it stores stays on the Cloudflare domain, under the Cloudflare privacy policy. | Set by Cloudflare. |
|---|
It is worth repeating, because it is the main point of this page: outside the careers area, the site sets no cookie. Cloudflare's cookies, when they appear, protect the server against bots and abuse. The careers area cookies exist only after a candidate signs in and keep the sign-in. None of them identifies you to measure audience.
None of these cookies is used for advertising, for building a profile or for following you across other websites. Nothing you type into the contact form is stored in a cookie: it travels over HTTPS straight to the service that forwards the message by e-mail, as detailed in the Privacy Policy.
An access log is a different thing from a cookie, and it also has a deadline. The logs the server generates on each visit are kept for 6 months, the period set out in article 15 of the Marco Civil da Internet, and the full retention table is in section 7 of the Privacy Policy.
4. Third-party content
The site loads its images, fonts and scripts from its own domain. There is a single exception, and it deserves a clear explanation.
The market rates strip (AwesomeAPI)
On the home page and on the news page there is a dark strip showing US Dollar and Euro rates. Those figures are not ours: your own browser calls the address economia.awesomeapi.com.br, a public exchange rate service operated by AwesomeAPI, and displays whatever comes back.
- What leaves your browser. An ordinary read request. It carries your IP address and the headers any browser sends (browser identification, preferred language and the origin of the page). This means AwesomeAPI, like any website you visit, can see your IP address.
- What does not leave. Anything you type on the site. The name, e-mail, phone number and message from the contact form never go through this call. We send no visitor identifier and no browsing history.
- Cookies. The call only fetches a small piece of data in JSON format. It loads no third-party script, opens no iframe and sets no cookie in your browser.
- If you block it. Nothing breaks. The request has a 6 second timeout and, if it fails, is blocked by an extension or takes too long, the strip simply does not appear and the rest of the site keeps working normally. The site never shows a stale figure as if it were current.
If you would rather avoid that contact entirely, block the domain economia.awesomeapi.com.br in your content blocker, or browse the other pages of the site, which do not carry the strip.
5. Controlling cookies in your browser
The decision about cookies is always yours, and it is made in the browser, not here. Every browser lets you view, delete and block cookies, either per site or across the board. The menu paths below apply to current versions:
- Google Chrome. Three-dot menu, Settings, Privacy and security, Cookies and other site data. To erase what is already stored, use Delete browsing data in the same section.
- Mozilla Firefox. Three-line menu, Settings, Privacy and Security, Cookies and Site Data block. There you clear the stored data and choose the level of tracking protection.
- Safari. On Mac: Safari menu, Settings, Privacy tab, Manage Website Data. On iPhone and iPad: Settings app, Safari, Privacy and Security block.
- Microsoft Edge. Three-dot menu, Settings, Cookies and site permissions, Manage and delete cookies and site data.
You can also use the browser's private or incognito window, which discards cookies when it is closed. One honest warning: if you block all cookies, including the technical ones, the Cloudflare security check may repeat on every visit, because it can no longer recognise that your browser has already passed the challenge.
6. If this changes
The picture described here is today's, and it is not an eternal promise. If Grupo RKO ever adopts audience measurement, a social network pixel, advertising or any feature that writes a non-essential cookie, two things happen before that tool goes live:
- this page is updated, naming the cookie, who sets it, what it is for and how long it lasts;
- the cookie notice gets "Accept" and "Decline" buttons of the same size, the tool only loads after you accept, and the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer lets you change your mind at any time.
For as long as this page says what it says today, it is because none of that has been adopted.
7. Update and privacy
Questions about cookies, about the market rates strip or about any personal data processed by this site can be sent to contato@gruporko.com.br. The data controller is RKO ALIMENTOS LTDA, registered under CNPJ (Brazilian corporate taxpayer registry) number 20.122.197/0001-49.
Data Protection Officer: to be defined. Until the formal appointment required by article 41 of the LGPD, requests concerning personal data go to the same e-mail address above and are answered within 15 days, as article 19 of that law provides.
If our answer does not settle the matter, you may petition the ANPD, Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados, at gov.br/anpd, and also consumer protection bodies, under article 18, §§ 1 and 8, of the LGPD.
