Cookie Usage Statement
Most websites you visit use cookies to enhance your experience by allowing each site to “remember” you, either during your visit (using a “session cookie”) or for repeated visits (using a “persistent cookie”).
Cookies have many and varied functions, such as allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, storing your preferences, and generally improving your browsing experience on the website. Cookies make your interaction with the website faster and easier. If a website does not use cookies, it will treat you as a new visitor every time you move to a new page—for example, if you enter your login details (username and password) and then go to another page, the site will not recognize you and will not be able to keep you logged in.
Some websites also use cookies to target their advertisements or promotional messages based on, for example, your location and/or browsing habits.
Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (“first-party cookies”) or by other websites that run content on the site (“third-party cookies”).
What is contained in a cookie?
A cookie is a simple code file stored on your computer or mobile device by the server of a website, and only that server can retrieve or read the contents of that cookie. Each cookie is unique to your browser. It contains some anonymous information, such as a unique identifier and the name of the website, along with some digits and numbers. The cookie allows a website to remember things, such as your preferences or what is in your shopping cart.
Customize cookies in your browser
If you do not want to receive cookies, you can modify your browser to alert you when cookies are sent or you can refuse them altogether. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored.
If you want to limit or block cookies that have been stored in your browser or device, you can do so through your browser’s settings. The “Help” button within your browser will tell you how. Alternatively, you can visit the website www.aboutcookies.org, which has comprehensive information on how to do this across a wide variety of desktop browsers.
Our website operates without cookies, but you will lose some features and functionality if you choose to disable cookies, particularly from third parties, such as social sharing buttons, etc.
Third-party cookies such as FACEBOOK, TWITTER, and other social networks
These services provide social network buttons and similar features that we use on our website—such as “Like” and “Tweet” buttons.
To do this, we embed code provided by them, which we do not control. For them to work, their buttons generally know if you are logged in. For example, Facebook uses this feature to notify you that the page you are visiting is “liked by x of your friends.” We have no access to this information and cannot control how these networks use this information.
Social networks may therefore know that you are browsing this website if you use their services (this does not mean that they do, but their policies are often subject to change). Since our website is completely harmless, we imagine this is not a cause for concern for most users.
Search engine cookies
Our company uses the Skroutz Analytics service to provide the best possible quality of service to consumers. Through this service, anonymous usage statistics are shared with Skroutz.gr, while the data obtained through this service is covered by Skroutz.gr’s privacy policy, which you can find at https://www.skroutz.gr/privacy.
Counting our visitors
We measure our visitors on our website using Google Analytics. This tool records which pages you view within our website, how you reached our website, and some basic information about your computer. All this information is anonymous—so we do not know who you are, only that someone visited our website.
The information we extract from measuring and evaluating the statistics we collect helps us understand which parts of our website are performing well, how many people visit our site, and so on. Like most websites, we use this information to make our website better.
You can learn more about Google Analytics or install the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on for the browsers you use.
