Addition to privacy policy
This cookie policy supplements the privacy policy of this website. The cookie policy specifies how a website uses cookies and what data it collects through them, while the privacy policy provides a more comprehensive overview of all data processing activities on the website and beyond.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small pieces of information that resemble text files and can be stored and read on the end device. They serve various purposes, such as maintaining the basic functions of the website, security and privacy, providing optional website features, collecting statistical data about visitor flows, and providing marketing systems. Practical examples of what can be stored in cookies are the storage of the login status for user accounts, the contents of shopping carts on e-commerce platforms, or a user ID for tracking behavior on the website.
The information can technically be stored in various ways. The best-known examples are HTTP cookies and cookie-like technologies such as local storage, session storage, or IndexedDB. Each type of storage has different properties, which determine the technical handling, accessibility, and those responsible for accessing the information. All of these storage types are usually summarized under the term “cookies” and are therefore referred to as such in this cookie policy.
What is the legal basis for regulating/reading cookies?
The placement and reading of cookies in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) is permitted in accordance with Article 4 (5) of Law 3471/2006 (Protection of personal data and privacy in the electronic communications sector and amendment of Law 2472/1997) only if the user has given their consent based on full information about the purposes of the processing. The website administrator may also set cookies if they are strictly necessary to provide you, as a user, with the service you have explicitly requested, e.g. the basic content of this website or other strictly necessary cookies for the basic functioning of the website that will be displayed to you without your consent.
What rights do visitors to the website have?
Their services and cookies can be set and read based on your consent or public interest. When you first visited this website, you were asked for your consent and had the opportunity to object to the use of certain services. In the consent dialog, we explained which legal basis is used for each service.

What types of cookies are there?
- Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of a website and enable functions such as storing login information or accessing secure areas of the website. These include, for example, security cookies, which can recognize a bot that is not welcome on the website by storing an authentication key in a cookie.
- Functional cookies improve the user experience by storing information and preferences, such as language or website display settings, to provide personalized services. This includes, for example, preference cookies that store the user's preferred video quality on a website.
- Statistical cookies collect data about the use of a website to gain insights into user behavior and optimize website performance. This includes, for example, a randomly assigned user ID that makes it possible to measure whether you have visited a subpage of the website.
- Advertising cookies are used to track user behavior across different websites and to display personalized advertising based on users' interests and browsing behavior. This includes, for example, advertising cookies that store an interaction with an advertisement on the website and transmit it to advertisers or a chat system for pre-sales questions and customer support.
Who can set cookies on this website?
On this website, both the website operator and third-party services used on it can set cookies and access their content. Who can access which cookies and their content differs between first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created by the website you are visiting and can only be read by the website operator and third-party services integrated into that website. In contrast, third-party cookies are usually created by third-party services in other domains, can be read on all websites where the service controlling the domain is integrated, and, for example, used by advertising networks to track user behavior across different websites and offer personalized advertising.
