Cookie policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files, which a website can install and store on the computer or mobile terminal device (tablet, smartphone, laptop) of visitors. Thanks to cookies, the website remembers the actions of visitors during navigation.

The use of cookies as trackers is supported by various browsers, such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera. If they wish, website visitors can disable them, so that they are not accepted or even delete them afterwards.

In addition, some cookies may serve the Company’s commercial advertising or/and promotion. In this section, we generally use the term “cookies” as an “umbrella term” to describe techniques such as cookies, flash cookies and web beacons.

Functions of cookies

Depending on their type, cookies perform functions such as measuring page traffic, recording the number of visitors, language, time of entry, geographical origin, device identifiers (e.g. operating system, screen resolution), keywords used by users/visitors, login attempts, etc. Some cookies are personal data and some are not. Some cookies are technically necessary, while others serve commercial and advertising purposes.

Types of cookies

There are different types of cookies, operational, technical, user identification, advertising, etc. First party cookies are set by the website/page visited by users and are only readable by this website/page. If the website uses external third-party services, then also their own cookies, so-called third-party cookies (Google Analytics, Facebook, etc.) are installed on the users' device. Persistent cookies are those that are stored on the users' computer and are not automatically deleted once users close their browser. Non- persistent or session cookies are those that are deleted once users close their browser. Every 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 re-enter them when you browse our site during the same visit.

Legal regime for the use and storage of cookies

The installation and use of "cookies" are specifically regulated by law (Art.4 par.5 of Law 3471/2006 which incorporated the European Directive 2002/58/EC ePrivacy), as it has been modified or replaced until today, so there may be changes to the present policy. Each website is allowed to install such cookie only if users provide their explicit consent (in accordance with the terms of GDPR 2016/679) by means of an opt-in action (opt-in), after being informed 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 may be given through appropriate settings in the web browser or through another application. For this purpose, the following information is provided.
