Their purpose is to make your browsing experience more usable, to obtain certain information about it, and to help us present you with content relevant to your interests. More specifically, cookies are useful so that the Website can be used every time you visit it:
This policy covers both cookies and any technology that stores or accesses information on your devices, such as HTML5 local storage and pixel technologies.

Performance cookies
These cookies collect information about your use of the Website, such as which pages are frequently visited and whether you receive error messages. Based on this aggregated information we are able to design the structure, navigation and content of the Website in the most user-friendly way possible.
Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
_ga_9TDQMRX27G | .argiro.gr | This cookie is used by Google Analytics to maintain the login status. | 1 year |
_ga | .argiro.gr | This cookie name is associated with Google Universal Analytics – which is a significant update to Google’s most widely used analytics service. This cookie is used to distinguish unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a customer ID. It is included in every page request on a website and is used to calculate visitor data, session periods, and campaign periods for website analytics reports. | 1 year |

Information about the Google Analytics service
The Website uses the Google Analytics service to record its traffic. Google Analytics, which relies on the use of cookies, is the most popular service for collecting and analysing data about the behaviour of visitors to websites on the internet. The purpose of using the Google Analytics service is to process data in order to optimize the Website, such as which page we need to improve and in what way in order to make it more usable, but also to conduct a cost/benefit analysis for the display of advertisements.
Cookies are used to store certain information, such as IP address, access time, browser type, the location from which the access took place and the frequency of visits to the Website by the user. If you also use other Google services, it is possible that this data will be processed by Google in combination to compile your user profile for the purpose of displaying personalised advertisements. We have no ability to control and influence Google’s methods and policies regarding the processing of your data on its behalf. If you wish, you can get more information about your data processing policy from Google in the context of the Analytics service here.
Important note: In July 2020 the Court of Justice of the European Union declared invalid the European Commission decision 2016/1250 regarding the adequacy of the protection provided by the European Union – United States of America Privacy Shield (known as Privacy Shield). Until this decision was issued, the transfer of personal data to the US, including the transfer in the case of Google Analytics, was based on this adequacy decision. This processing is now based on Google’s standard data protection clauses (Article 46 of the General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR) and, alternatively, on your explicit consent, in accordance with the terms of Article 49 para. 1(a) of the GDPR, given the absence of an adequacy decision. Furthermore, as a data subject, you should be aware that your metadata may be used by Google for profiling purposes and transferred to its computers in the USA, where relevant prosecutors and national security authorities may request and gain access, in accordance with the US legal framework.
As part of the Google Analytics service, the Website uses the “Anonymize IP” feature provided by Google. With this application, your IP address is restricted by Google and anonymised when you access the Website. This measure is preferred by EU data protection supervisory authorities as best practice in the context of appropriate technical measures to protect your data.
Finally, you have the option to block the collection of your data via Google Analytics altogether by installing the plug-in in your browser.
