Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Some are needed for the site to work. Others help us show ads and understand how the site is used.

Cookies We Set Ourselves

These are needed for the site to work and cannot be switched off. They do not identify you and are deleted after two hours.

ta-psaria-tis-mesoghioy-session: keeps the site working while you browse, for example when you send a message through the contact form.
XSRF-TOKEN: protects the forms on the site against abuse.

Advertising: Google AdSense

The encyclopedia is free because it shows ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads, measure how they perform and, if you agree, personalise them to your interests. If you do not agree, Google may still show ads that are not personalised, which can use cookies to limit how often you see the same ad, prevent fraud and count results.

You can read how Google uses this information on How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Statistics: Google Analytics and Umami

We use Google Analytics to see which pages are read and how visitors find the site. Where consent is required, its cookies (_ga and _ga_*) are only set if you agree.

We also use Umami, a statistics tool that does not use cookies and does not collect personal data.

Your Consent

If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a message from Google asks for your consent on your first visit. It is a consent management platform certified by Google and follows the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF). Your choice is stored in the FCCDCF and FCNEC cookies, so you are not asked again on every page.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through Privacy & cookie settings at the bottom of every page.

Outside these regions no consent message is shown. Wherever you are, you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The encyclopedia will still work, although the contact form needs the two cookies we set ourselves.

Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the cookies those websites use.
