Cookie Policy
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website may store on your computer or mobile phone. The cookie allows the website to “remember” your actions while you are browsing it. Although the majority of browsers, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Opera, support the use of cookies, the user can configure his/her browser not to accept cookies or to delete them afterwards.
Usefulness of cookies
Cookies can perform many functions and are mainly used to measure the traffic of a website as a whole or of specific sub-pages. Indicatively, the number of visitors live or by time of day, their geographical origin, the operating system and resolution of their computer screen, the page from which they came (via a search engine, a link from another page or direct entry), the keyword used in the search engine, etc. can be recorded. Other cookies may remember, for the user’s convenience, the choice of language or the results of their search on a website. Others may record the user’s unsuccessful attempts to enter a website so that, after a certain number of unsuccessful attempts to enter, they (the websites) require further verification of the user’s data, for example by entering an additional code sent by SMS to the user’s mobile phone.
Use of cookiesThe
website under the domain name “nomikosodigos.info”, hereinafter referred to as “the website”, stores cookies on the terminal equipment of its visitors to improve their browsing experience and to measure its traffic. These cookies do not compromise the privacy and sensitive personal data of users.
CMS cookies
The website is designed based on a content management system (CMS), which by default stores cookies on the user’s computer to improve the browsing experience. These cookies are as follows:
Session CookiesSession cookies allow users to be identified while browsing a website so that their various choices can be memorized and transferred from sub-page to sub-page. The most common example of this function is the shopping cart in online stores. When you add products to your shopping cart, the session cookie remembers your choices so that the products you selected are there when you are ready to pay. Without the session cookie, the page would not remember exactly which products you added to your cart, so when you clicked “checkout” your cart would be empty.
Although our site does not sell products, the session cookies it uses work in exactly the same way. In particular, our site stores two session cookies: one to remember your choice of browsing language for the page and one to remember all other user choices. Both session cookies are automatically deleted from the user’s computer after the end of the session, which occurs fifteen minutes after the last action within the page. These cookies are first party cookies, i.e. they are placed and read by the domain of our site.
Universal Analytics
CookiesGoogle Universal Analytics uses cookies to report on user interactions on Google Analytics client sites. These cookies are used to store non-personally identifiable information. The Google Analytics cookies, which are stored via our website on the user’s terminal equipment, are the following:
The cookie called “_ga” is used to identify unique visitors to our website and has a lifetime of two years from the last visit to the website.
The cookie named “_gat” serves to anonymously monitor the visitor’s behavior while browsing the website and has a lifetime of ten minutes from the user’s visit to the website. Indicatively, it tracks the visitor’s subpage of entry and exit from the website, the time spent on each subpage, etc.
Please note that the lifetime of the above cookies may be changed by Google without prior notice.
Cookies directive CookieOnce
you have given your consent to accept cookies from this website in accordance with the procedure described below, a cookie called “cookiesdirective” is stored on your terminal equipment, which remembers your consent and has a lifetime of one year from the granting of consent. The practical value of setting this cookie is to avoid the inconvenience of having to give the same consent each time you visit the website.
Obligatory nature of the consent to the storage of cookies
The installation and use of “cookies” is regulated in particular by paragraph 5 of article 4 of Law no. 3471/2006 (which transposed Directive 2002/58/EC into the Greek legal order) according to which the installation and use of “cookies” is only allowed with the user’s consent. A website may install such a cookie only if the user has given his or her consent after being clearly and comprehensively informed about the installation, the purpose of the processing, the exercise of the right of access and any recipients of the data. Such consent may be given through appropriate settings in the web browser or through another application.
Obtaining consent from the visitor
Given that the cookies of the Google Universal Analytics service are third-party cookies in relation to our site and do not fall as traffic analysis cookies under the exception of par. 5 of article 4 of Law no. 3471/2006, our site obtains the visitor’s consent before storing cookies on his terminal equipment. The user has the possibility at any time to delete the cookies stored by this page in his browser through his browser settings.
In particular, the website uses a special plugin, which prevents cookies from being stored on the visitor’s terminal equipment, if his/her consent is not first obtained by pressing an acceptance button. Close to the acceptance button there is a link that leads to the present cookie policy of the website, in which the user can read all the necessary information that will make it easier for him/her to decide whether or not to give consent to accept cookies.
Control and deletion of cookies

You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer, as well as set most browsers to prevent cookies from being installed. However, in this case, you may need to adjust certain preferences yourself each time you visit a website, and some services may not work.
