COOKIES POLICY
1. 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 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, the so-called browsers, such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera. If you wish, however, you can disable them so that they are not accepted or even delete them afterwards.
2. Functions of cookies
Depending on their type, cookies perform functions of measuring page traffic, recording the number of visitors, language, login time, geographic origin, device identifiers (eg operating system, screen resolution), keywords you used, login attempts etc. Some cookies are personal data and some are not. Some cookies are technically necessary while others serve commercial and advertising purposes.
3. Types of cookies
There are different types of cookies, functional, technical, user identification, advertising, etc. Cookies are installed by the website/page you are visiting and are only readable by that website/page. If the website uses external third-party services, then their own cookies are installed on your device, so-called third-party cookies (Google Analytics, Facebook, etc.). Permanent cookies are those that are stored on your computer and are not automatically deleted when you close your browser. Session cookies are those that are deleted as soon as 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 won't have to re-enter them when you browse our page during the same visit.
4. Legal status of using and storing cookies
The installation and use of "cookies" is specifically regulated by the law (article 4 par. 5 N 3471/2006 which incorporated the European Directive 2002/58/EC ePrivacy), which is expected to be replaced by a Regulation (ePrivacy Regulation), so this could potentially result in change of this policy. Each website is allowed to install such a "cookie" only if you, as the user, give us your explicit consent by positive action (opt-in) (under the terms of GDPR 2016/679) and with the instructions of the Personal Data Protection Authority , after clear and extensive information about this installation, the usefulness, the consequences of refusal of cookies with respect the user experience, the purpose of the processing, the exercise of the right of access and a mention any recipients of the data. This consent may be given through appropriate settings in the web browser or through another application. For this purpose, we provide you with the detailed information below.
