Cookies are small text files containing information that are stored by a website’s server on the terminal device (computer, mobile phone, etc.) of a visitor/user while browsing the website. The website retrieves this information during each visit in order to provide related services. A typical example of such information is a user’s preferences on a website, as indicated by the choices they make while using it (e.g., selecting specific buttons, searches, etc.).

According to Article 4(5) of Greek Law 3471/2006, the storage of or access to information stored on a user’s terminal equipment is permitted only if the user has given their consent after receiving clear and comprehensive information. An exception to the requirement for obtaining consent, pursuant to the aforementioned provision, applies where the sole purpose of storing or accessing information is to “carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or where it is strictly necessary for the provision of an information society service explicitly requested by the user or subscriber.” In essence, user consent is not required for cookies that are considered technically necessary for establishing a connection to the website or for providing the requested internet service.

Cookies may be placed either by the operator of the website visited by the user (first-party cookies) or by third parties through the website operator (third-party cookies).

You can also delete all cookies that are already stored on your device by clearing your browser history. This will delete all cookies from all websites you have visited through that particular browser. However, please note that certain stored data may also be lost (e.g. saved login details, website preferences).

Cookies in this category are essential for the proper and efficient operation of the Website. They store information regarding the visitor’s/user’s preferences concerning the use of optional cookies. The use of strictly necessary cookies does not require the visitor’s/user’s consent.

Cookies in this category are used to collect statistical information regarding traffic to the Website, solely for the purpose of improving its performance and content, provided that the visitor/user has already given their consent.

These statistics do not identify you personally, are not used for any other purpose, and are not disclosed to third parties.

The following information is recorded in log files for every request made to the Website server by a visitor’s/user’s browser:

• the address (URL) that the user wishes to access and the corresponding date and time,
• error logs.

The above information is collected for the purpose of monitoring the security of the Website’s information and services, ensuring the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of information and data against accidental, unlawful, or malicious actions or incidents, investigating any cyberattacks and security incidents, and supporting any related legal claims.

Log files are retained for a period of 12 months and may be disclosed to the data processor responsible for managing the Website, as well as to the competent authorities where deemed necessary for the investigation of a cyberattack or security incident. Data that are subject to investigation or are used in connection with legal claims shall be retained for the period required for those specific purposes.
