Cookies policy
"Cookies" are small pieces of information (files), in the form of plain text, that are stored on the user's computer (or other devices with Internet access, such as a smartphone or tablet) when visiting any web page. "Cookies" do not cause any damage to the user's computer nor to the files stored on it. Without them the user's personal preferences would be impossible to store.
When you visit the portal, only the Cookies that are necessary for its operation are used. Specifically, our website uses a cookie named youtube_consent to record your consent to the appearance of the videos we host on the YouTube website.
It should be understood that if you consent to the appearance of the videos, it is possible that the YouTube website will install additional cookies and trackers on your computer as described in the terms of use of the service. Our Service is not related to the installation and use of these cookies nor does it collect relevant information nor is there a way for them not to be installed on your computer because the content is posted on the specific service. With the cookie youtube_consent used by our website, only the user's choice to enable or not the display of videos from YouTube is saved.
How to manage and delete "Cookies"
The menus of most browsers provide options on how to manage "Cookies". Depending on the options given to the users by the browser, the user can enable the installation of "Cookies", disable / delete the existing "Cookies" or be notified every time he receives "Cookies". Instructions for managing and deleting cookies are usually found in the "Help", "Tools" or "Edit" menu of each browser. Also, the user can find more detailed guidance at www.youronlinechoices.com/gr, which explains in detail how to check and delete "Cookies" files in most browsers.
The user should be aware that, in case of rejecting or disabling the Cookies of the website, the functionality of the websites may be partially lost. Also, disabling a "Cookie" or a "Cookies" category does not delete the corresponding file from the browser. Such an action should be performed by the user himself, modifying the internal functions of the browser he uses.
