What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us recognise your browser, remember your preferences, and understand how our site is used. Some cookies are essential for the site to work; others are optional and only set with your consent.
This policy explains what cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can control them — including through your browser’s Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)
GPC is recognised under California (CCPA/CPRA), Colorado, Connecticut, Montana, Oregon, Texas, and other US state laws. You can enable GPC in browsers such as Firefox and Brave, or via extensions like Privacy Badger.
If you are in the EU, EEA, or UK
We are established in Greece (EU) and subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Greek Law 4624/2019. We rely on your explicit opt-in consent before setting any non-essential cookies. You can give, change, or withdraw consent at any time using our Cookie Preference Centre.
Our supervising authority is the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA) — hdpa.gr. EU/UK residents may lodge a complaint with their national Data Protection Authority at any time.
Your rights under GDPR
Our lawful basis for non-essential cookies is consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Strictly necessary cookies rely on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) limited to security and service operation.
If you are in California (CCPA / CPRA)
We do not sell your personal information as defined under the CCPA/CPRA. We may share certain data with affiliate and advertising partners for cross-context behavioural advertising — you have the right to opt out at any time using the link in our site footer or by enabling GPC in your browser.
Your rights under CCPA / CPRA
California residents may designate an authorised agent to make requests. We will respond to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days.
Other US state privacy laws
Residents of Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Montana, Oregon, and other states with active privacy laws have equivalent rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data. We honour these rights regardless of which US state you reside in. Submit a request using the contact details below.
