Cookies Policy

The sakos.gr site, like most sites, uses small files called cookies that help us improve your browsing experience. This web site contains the following detailed information about cookies:

1.What are cookies

Cookies are small files stored by your Browser on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, and generally the device you are browsing through sakos.gr. Each cookie contains information such as the name of the website from which it originates, its ‘lifetime’ (ie how long it will stay on your device), and a value, usually a number. In essence, cookies allow sites to store various anonymous information such as visitor preferences or if they have visited the site again. On our website, cookies are used to make it easier for users to navigate the site, to better tailor your interests and needs and improve its use and functionality. In addition, cookies are used to compile anonymous traffic statistics and also know how you discovered our websites. These statistics help us understand how you use our site to improve its structure and content. In any case, we can not verify your personal identity from cookies. Cookies are stored exclusively on your own device (computer, tablet, mobile phone), and sakos.gr does not maintain any files or data files with your personal data.

Youtube Cookies

Every time you visit the sakos.gr websites, anonymous cookies are generated to collect traffic statistics. These cookies are generated by third-party services such as Google Analytics and are used to know:

• if you’ve visited our site in the past
• how many unique visitors we have and how often they visit our site.
• the views of each individual web page and our published articles.
• Traffic sources, ie if our users visit links to other sites, social networks, ad campaigns, search engines (Google, Bing), or come directly to sakos.gr.

Sakos.gr has disabled the following advertising features in Google Analytics, which provides anonymous traffic statistics:

• View reports on the Google Display Network
• Reports of aggregate anonymous demographics and interests, such as age and gender, to better understand who our visitors are.
• Embedded services requiring Google Analytics to collect data through ad cookies and anonymous IDs

These features allow Google Analytics to collect data about your traffic through Google advertising cookies
(https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/types/) and anonymous identifiers
(https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/key-terms/#toc-terms-identifier), in addition to data collected through the basic Google Analytics app.

Under no circumstances will we allow your personal identification. If you wish, you can opt out of the Google Analytics advertising features. See the available opt-out options from the Google Analytics ad features for your browser here https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/ 

The Google Analytics data retention period is set at 14 months, however, if a user returns to the page before the 14-month period, then the retention period is automatically renewed.

3.Disable Cookies in Your Browser

Typically, Browsers are configured to accept all cookies. If you wish, it is possible to set your own Browser not to accept cookies from a specific site, to alert when storing cookies or not accepting any cookies.

However, if you choose to disable cookies for sakos.gr, we may not be able to provide you with all the features offered on our site. For example, widgets may not be displayed correctly on your computer screen, or the annotation service may not know if you are logged in, so you may not be able to comment.
