What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences or actions over a period of time. Cookies can be first-party (set by this website) or third-party (set by an external service). They can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (remain for a defined period or until you delete them).
Under EU Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy) as implemented in Greek law, and under GDPR, we are required to obtain your prior consent before placing any non-essential cookies on your device. We only set analytics cookies after you click "Accept all" in our cookie banner.

Essential Cookies
Essential (strictly necessary) cookies enable core functionality that the website cannot work without — such as maintaining your session across pages, protecting forms against CSRF attacks, and remembering your cookie preference.
Essential cookies do not require your consent under ePrivacy rules. They are placed automatically when you visit the site and cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
Analytics Cookies
With your consent we set a first-party analytics cookie (vt_visitor) powered by our self-hosted visitor-tracker. This allows us to understand how many people visit the site, which pages are most popular, and how visitors navigate content.
- Self-hosted — data is stored on our own servers.
- No cross-site tracking — the
vt_visitorcookie is strictly scoped to this domain. - Consent-gated — no analytics cookie or data collection occurs before you click "Accept all".
Third-Party Cookies
Our contact form uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect against automated spam. When you visit pages containing the contact form, Google may set the _grecaptcha cookie on your device.
We do not use Facebook Pixel, Google Ads tags, or any other advertising-network tracking on this website.
Managing Your Preferences
You can change your analytics cookie consent at any time. Click the button below to re-open the cookie settings banner:
Change or withdraw your analytics cookie consent — takes effect immediately.
Withdrawing consent will immediately stop any new analytics data from being collected and will delete the vt_visitor cookie from your browser.
