Cookie policy

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. Browsers also offer similar storage, called local storage and session storage. This policy covers all of these and explains what this site stores, why and for how long.

Strictly necessary storage

Two small items in your browser’s session storage help the site work as you move through it:

• hb_pt: a timestamp for the transition between pages. It is removed as soon as the next page opens.
• hb_intro: lets the Home page’s opening play only once per visit. It is removed when you close the tab.

They stay in your browser and we do not receive them. As they are strictly necessary, they need no consent.

No analytics or advertising

This site sets no cookies and uses no analytics, advertising or other tracking tools, so it shows no cookie banner. If we add any, we will ask for your consent first and update this policy.

Map and links

When you scroll to the map on the Location page, it loads its images from Esri and, as a fallback, from the OpenStreetMap Foundation. They receive your IP address and browser information, but set no cookies.

WhatsApp and Google Maps are plain links. Those services are contacted only if you click them, and their own cookie policies then apply.

Legal basis

Greek law (Article 4(5) of Law 3471/2006, which implements Article 5(3) of the EU ePrivacy Directive) allows a site to store or read information on your device without consent only when this is strictly necessary for the service you asked for. Everything else needs your consent first. Where personal data is involved, that consent is our legal basis under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Changes to this policy

We will update this policy if what the site stores changes. The date at the top of this page shows the latest version.
