The website www.spiunos.gr (hereinafter referred to as the «Website», “spiunos.gr” ή «we») uses cookies and other similar tracking technologies.
With this policy (hereinafter referred to as the «Cookies Policy» or the «Policy»), we inform visitors and users of spiunos.gr (hereinafter referred to as «you») about the use of cookies by the Website and the purposes for which they are used.
Cookies are small text files that contain information and are stored by a website’s server on the terminal device (e.g., computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc.) of a visitor/user while browsing the website. The website retrieves this information during subsequent visits by the same visitor/user to offer relevant services (e.g., user preferences such as language, search settings, etc.). The term "cookies" also includes other similar technologies that function as trackers and are used to store or collect information on/from the terminal device of a website visitor/user (e.g., pixels). In general, the primary purpose of using cookies is to provide you with the best possible browsing experience in terms of convenience and efficiency.
Cookies may be installed either by the website provider that the visitor/user is accessing — in which case they are called “first-party cookies” — or by others through the provider of the website being accessed — in which case they are called “third-party cookies.” Based on their duration, cookies are classified as either “session cookies” or “persistent cookies.” “Session cookies” are deleted at the end of your browser session, that is, when you close your browser. “Persistent cookies” remain stored on your terminal device even after you close the browser and are deleted permanently once their lifetime has expired.
The use of cookies is regulated by Law 3471/2006, which incorporated the European Directive 2002/58/EC (the ePrivacy Directive). According to Article 4, paragraph 5 of 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 through a positive action (opt-in), after being clearly and thoroughly informed, in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”). However, user consent is not required for the use of cookies that are deemed technically necessary either for the connection to the website or for the provision of an internet service.
