Cookie Policy

The website thanasispallantzas.com (the "Website") respects your privacy and collects only the data that is necessary for its smooth operation, while ensuring a high level of user experience. Cookies alone cannot search or process information on your device, but they may store information about your browsing of the Website.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files, made up of text and numbers, that are stored in your browser or on your device (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information, such as your preferences, so that using it is more effective and useful for you. Other browser storage technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage) perform similar functions and are referred to in this policy as "cookies". Cookies do not access any document or file on your device.

2. Use of Cookies

The Website uses the following categories of cookies, which correspond to the options in the "Cookie Settings" window:

• Necessary
  These are essential for the Website to function and cannot be disabled. They include storing your cookie choice and temporarily caching parts of the page (header/footer) for faster loading. You can set your browser to block or alert you about them, but some parts of the Website may not work if you do so.
• Analytics
  These collect information about how visitors use the Website, such as which pages are visited most often, so that we can improve it. The Google Analytics service is used (via Google Tag Manager) and is activated only if you consent.
• Advertising
  These are used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and to show personalised advertisements (Google Ads). They are activated only if you consent.

The Website uses Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Google Ads with Google Consent Mode: the "Analytics" and "Advertising" categories remain disabled until you give your consent. The data is processed by Google Ireland Limited and may be transferred to Google LLC (USA) under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses. See the Privacy Policy for more.

Some pages contain embedded YouTube (Google) videos. Videos are loaded via youtube-nocookie.com and only when you click play; until then your browser does not contact YouTube. During playback, YouTube may store data in your browser in accordance with its own privacy policy.

3. How can I manage or prevent cookies on the Website?

On your first visit a notice appears with the options "Accept All", "Necessary Only" and "Settings", so that you can choose which categories of cookies you accept. Your consent is given only by an explicit action on your part. No non-essential category is activated before you make your choice. You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link at the bottom of every page. Your choice is stored in your browser (sf_consent) so that we do not ask you again on every visit.

You can also disable or delete cookies through your browser settings, and set your browser to notify you each time a cookie is installed or to block them altogether. Please be aware that if you disable all cookies in your browser, some features of the Website may not work as intended.

The steps differ for each browser; you can find instructions in the Help menu of your browser or at www.allaboutcookies.org.
