Cookies policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files that a website you visit, like ours, can install and store on your computer or mobile device (tablet, smartphone, laptop). Thanks to cookies, the website remembers your actions while browsing.
The use of cookies as trackers is supported by various web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Opera. However, if you wish, you can disable them so they are not accepted or even delete them afterward.
Functions of Cookies
Depending on their type, cookies perform functions such as measuring website traffic, recording the number of visitors, language, time of visit, geographic origin, device identifiers (e.g., operating system, screen resolution), keywords used, login attempts, and more. Some cookies contain personal data while others do not. Certain 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, and more. First-party cookies are installed by the website/page you visit and can only be read by that site. When the website uses third-party services, their own cookies—known as third-party cookies (e.g., Google Analytics, Facebook)—are also installed on your device. Persistent cookies are those stored on your computer and are not automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies, or temporary cookies, 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 site will remember your preferences (such as username, language) for a certain period. This way, you won’t need to re-enter them when browsing our site during the same visit.
Legal Framework for the Use and Storage of Cookies
The installation and use of “cookies” is specifically regulated by law (Article 4, Paragraph 5 of Law 3471/2006, which incorporated the European Directive 2002/58/EC ePrivacy), which is expected to be replaced by the ePrivacy Regulation, potentially leading to changes in this policy.
