3. Categories of Cookies Used

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies enable essential website operation, security, network management, consent storage, form protection and functions requested by the visitor.

These cookies are always active where required because the website cannot operate securely or provide the requested functionality without them.

Consent is not requested for technologies that are genuinely and strictly necessary.

Analytics and performance cookies help us measure visits and understand how visitors interact with the website.

The information collected helps us improve website content, structure, functionality and performance.

These technologies are activated only after the visitor provides consent, except for any information that may lawfully be processed without storing or accessing non-essential information on the visitor’s device.

Advertising and targeting technologies help us measure campaigns, attribute website actions, build relevant audiences and optimise advertising delivered through third-party platforms.

These technologies are activated only after the visitor provides consent.

Functional and Embedded-Content Cookies

Functional and embedded-content technologies allow us to display or personalise external services, including YouTube videos and Google Maps.

Consent may be required where the external service stores or accesses non-essential information on the visitor’s device.

5. Your Cookie Choices

When you first visit the website, the cookie banner should allow you to:

• Accept all cookies.

• Reject all non-essential cookies.

• Manage individual cookie categories.

Rejecting optional cookies should be as straightforward as accepting them.

Strictly necessary cookies remain active because the website cannot operate securely without them.

You may change or withdraw your consent at any time by using the “Manage Cookies” control available on the website.

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already carried out lawfully before the withdrawal.

You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the operation or availability of website features.

6. Embedded Services

YouTube videos and Google Maps may communicate with Google when their content is loaded or when you interact with it.

Where technically possible, these external services should be blocked or displayed behind a consent prompt until the relevant consent has been provided.

Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms and may process technical and behavioural information necessary to assess security and abuse risks.

7. International Data Transfers

Some providers used by the website may process information outside Greece or the European Economic Area.

Where required, international transfers are protected through an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism.

Further information is provided in our Privacy Policy and in the respective privacy notices of the relevant providers.

8. Browser Signals

Some browsers and devices may transmit preference signals, including “Do Not Track” or similar signals.

Because there is no single universally applied technical standard for all such signals, the website primarily relies on the consent controls made available through its cookie banner, together with any additional legal obligations applicable to recognised signals.

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when the technologies, providers, website settings or legal requirements change.

The revision date shown at the beginning of this page indicates the latest version.
