Third-Party Services and Data Recipients
We use our own consent management system (Trustwards) to record your cookie preferences. The “trustwardsCookie” stores which cookie categories you have accepted or rejected, ensuring your choices persist across visits. This cookie is strictly necessary for compliance with applicable privacy regulations and consent requirements. Your consent data is processed securely and is not shared with third parties unless legally required.
Google (Google Analytics and related Google tags) provides analytics and marketing measurement services. When enabled by your consent, these services process information (including online identifiers and event data) according to Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers are located outside EU/EEA:
- Google Analytics: Headquartered in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
- Google: Headquartered in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
We recommend reviewing each provider's privacy policy for detailed information about their data protection measures.
Legal Basis for Processing
Strictly Necessary cookies are exempt from the consent requirement because they are strictly necessary for the service you request (for example, saving your cookie choices) and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings tool.
All other cookie categories (Functional, Analytics, and Marketing) require your consent under the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules. These non-essential cookies are blocked by default and are only activated after you give explicit consent through our cookie preferences panel.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can accept or reject cookie categories at any time, and non-essential cookies remain blocked until you choose to enable them.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the “Manage Cookies” / “Διαχείριση Cookies” link in the footer of every page, which reopens the cookie preferences panel. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it and does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Cookies can also be deleted at any time through your browser settings.
How to Control Cookies in Your Browser
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, including viewing which cookies are stored, deleting cookies, blocking all cookies, and managing first-party versus third-party cookie settings.
Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies (and Site settings > Cookies and site data).
Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
Apple Safari (macOS): Safari > Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data (and “Prevent cross-site tracking”).
Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data.
If you block cookies, some website features may not work correctly. Strictly necessary cookies are required for the site to function and to store your cookie choices.

Local Storage is a browser feature that allows websites to store data persistently on your device. Unlike cookies, this data does not expire automatically and remains until manually cleared. We use Local Storage strictly for essential website functionality, such as remembering your preferences and settings to provide a consistent browsing experience. This usage is strictly necessary for the service you have requested and is therefore exempt from consent requirements under applicable law.
Session Storage is a browser feature that temporarily stores data only for the duration of your browser session. This data is automatically deleted when you close your browser tab or window. We use Session Storage strictly for essential functionality during your visit, such as maintaining your navigation state and form data. This usage is strictly necessary for the service you have requested and is therefore exempt from consent requirements under applicable law.
