COOKIES POLICY
What are Cookies
Cookies are small data files that a website you visit, such as ours, can install and store on your computer or mobile terminal device (tablet, smartphone, laptop). Thanks to cookies, the website remembers your actions during navigation. The use of cookies as trackers is supported by various navigation programs, commonly referred to as browsers, including Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Opera. However, if you wish, you can disable them so that they are not accepted or even delete them afterwards.
Functions of Cookies
Depending on their type, cookies perform functions such as measuring the traffic of the page as a whole or of specific subpages, recording the number of visitors, language, time of entry, geographical origin, the page from which they came (via search engine, link from another page or direct entry), device identifiers (e.g. operating system, screen resolution), keywords you used, login attempts, etc. Other cookies can remember, for the convenience of the user, the choice of language or the results of their search on a website. Some cookies are personal data and others are not. Some cookies are technically necessary, while others serve commercial and advertising purposes
Types of Cookies
There are various types of cookies, functional, technical, user identification, advertising, etc. The cookies of the viewed website are installed by the website/page you visit and are readable only by it. If the website uses external third-party services, then their own cookies, the so-called third-party cookies (Google Analytics, Facebook, etc.), are also installed on your device. Permanent cookies are those that are stored on your computer and are not automatically deleted once you close your browser. Session cookies are those that are deleted once you close your browser. Each time you visit our website, you will be asked to accept or reject cookies. If you consciously choose to accept them, our website will remember your preferences (such as username, language) for a certain period of time. This way, you will not have to enter them again when you browse our page during the same visit.
Legal Status of Use and Storage of Cookies
The installation and use of “cookies” is specifically regulated by law (article 4 par. 5 of Law 3471/2006, which incorporated the European Directive 2002/58/EC ePrivacy), which is expected to be replaced by a Regulation (ePrivacy Regulation), so changes may be made to this policy. Each website is allowed to install such a “cookie” only if you, as the user, give us your explicit consent with a positive action (opt-in) (according to the terms of GDPR 2016/679) and with the instructions of the Data Protection Authority, after clear and extensive information about this installation, its usefulness, the consequences of refusal for the user experience, the purpose of the processing, the exercise of the right of access and any recipients of the data. This consent can be given through appropriate settings in the web browser or through another application. For this purpose, we provide you with the following detailed information.
What Cookies We Use on Our Website
We use the following types of cookies:
Necessary cookies
Necessary cookies, otherwise known as strictly necessary cookies, are essential for the proper functioning of our Websites, allowing you to browse and use their features, such as accessing secure areas or using the shopping cart. These cookies do not identify you personally. Without these cookies, we cannot offer the effective functioning of our Websites.
Functionality (Preferences) Cookies
These cookies allow the Websites to remember user choices such as username, language or region, in order to provide improved and personalized features. They can also be used to provide services requested by the user, such as viewing videos or using social media. The information collected by these cookies may be anonymized and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. If you do not accept these cookies, the performance and functionality of the Sites may be affected and your access to content may be limited.
Performance Cookies (Statistics)
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Sites, for example, which pages they visit most often and whether they receive error messages from websites. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymous information that does not identify a visitor. They are used exclusively to improve the performance of a website.
Marketing cookies
These cookies are used to provide content that is more relevant to you and your interests. They may be used to send targeted advertising/offers, limit ad views or measure the effectiveness of an advertising campaign. These cookies may be used to remember the websites you have visited in order to determine which online marketing channels are most effective and allow us to reward external websites and partners who referred you to us.
Uncategorized cookies
Uncategorized cookies are cookies that are in the process of being classified, together with the providers of individual cookies.
Obtaining Visitor Consent
Mandatory acceptance of cookies is not a condition of entry to our website. Given that the cookies of the Google Universal Analytics service are of a third party manufacturer with respect to our page and do not fall under the exception of par. 5 of article 4 of law 3471/2006 as traffic analysis cookies, our page obtains the visitor’s consent before storing cookies on their terminal equipment. The user has the ability at any time to delete the cookies that this page has stored in their browser, through their settings. You can navigate freely, checking and accepting or not the cookies, whether ours or third parties. Next to the acceptance button for each cookie, there is a link that leads to the present cookie policy of our website, in which each user can read all the necessary information, which will make it easier for him to make a decision on whether to grant consent or not to accept cookies. Deactivating the trackers is as easy as accepting them, with the same number of clicks and the same font.
Control and Delete
You can control and/or delete cookies according to your wishes. You can delete all cookies already on your computer, as well as set most browsers to prevent the installation of cookies. However, in this case, you may need to adjust certain preferences yourself each time you visit a website, and some services may also not work (e.g. saved login details, website preferences).
This policy will be reviewed regularly to adapt to the instructions of the Supervisory Authorities and the latest legislative and jurisprudential developments. Last revised: 20/8/2021.
