COOKIE POLICY

We use cookies to improve the functionality of our website and to improve your browsing experience. Mandatory acceptance of cookies is not a condition of entry to our website. Our website allows you to manage and modify your cookie preferences at any time via the cookies banner.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files with information, which are installed and stored by the server of www.lfmt.gr on your terminal device (computer, tablet, smartphone, laptop) during your browsing. Our website retrieves this information on each subsequent visit in order to offer you the relevant services.

Also, cookies allow us to analyse how you use our website and identify any problems during your browsing. In addition, they allow us to display online advertisements tailored to your preferences and needs.

LEGAL REGULATIONS FOR THE USE AND STORAGE OF COOKIES

The installation and use of cookies is regulated by Law 3471/2006 (no.4 par.5), which incorporates the European Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy), as amended by the European Directive 2009/136/EC. The ePrivacy Directive is expected to be replaced by a Regulation (ePrivacy Regulation), so changes to this Policy are expected.

In accordance with Article 4 par. 5 of Law 3471/2006, storing or gaining access to stored information on user terminal equipment is only permitted if the specific user has given his consent after clear and extensive information. An exception to the obligation to obtain consent is the case of storing and accessing to information whose sole purpose of “carrying out a transmission of communication via an electronic information network or is necessary for the provision of an information society service expressly requested by the user or subscriber”. In practice, consent is not required for cookies which are considered technically necessary to connect to the website or to provide the internet service requested by the user.

Consent is obtained in accordance with the definitions of EU Regulation 679/2016 (GDPR), i.e. it requires an affirmative action (opt-in) by the user, as well as in accordance with the instructions of the Hellenic Data Protection Authority. It can be revoked at any time.

For this purpose, we provide you with the following detailed information:
