Cookies

Purpose

The primary objective of this policy is to provide general guidance on the issues of cookie use on the gopaxos website.

What are cookies and why do we use them?

Cookies are small text files that are stored by the browser on the computer, tablet, mobile phone and generally on the device with which someone browses the website www. gopaxos.com
Each cookie contains information such as the name of the website from which it came, its “lifetime” (i.e. how long it will remain on the device), and a value, which is usually a number. A cookie may remain on the device for up to one (1) year.
Cookies are unique to each web browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, etc.) and contain anonymous information, which relates to the websites visited by the user and the devices used. They also allow websites to store the visitor’s preferences (e.g. login details -login, language, etc.).
The law states that we can store cookies on the user’s device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of the website. For all other types of cookies we need the user’s permission, in fact the user’s consent is necessary. The individual user – visitor – subscriber can change or remove their consent at any time via the Cookies Statement on our website. In paragraph 5 of article 4 of Law No. 3471/2006, as amended by Law No. 4070/2012, stipulates that the installation of “cookies” is only allowed if the subscriber or user has given his/her consent after being clearly and comprehensively informed.
This system is known as “opt-in”, as opposed to the “opt-out” system in force before the amendment of Directive 2002/58/EC, which allowed the installation of cookies without the consent of the subscriber or user, provided that the latter has been informed beforehand and has not objected to the processing.
Therefore, in accordance with the above, the provider of an internet service (e.g. an online shop) or a third party (e.g. an advertising network promoting its products through the website of an online shop) may only install a cookie if it has obtained the consent of the subscriber or user after having informed him/her appropriately in advance.
The use of cookies makes it easier for the Website to remember information about the user’s visit, collecting useful data about search preferences already made on previous visits to the Website. Thus, the search experience will be improved the next time the user visits the site again. In addition, cookies help control the performance and traffic of the Website, improving its presentation and content according to the preferences of its visitors.

The main types of cookies commonly used by Websites are described below:


1.Essential Cookies
The role of these cookies is to store information or gain access to information already stored on your device for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or, to the extent strictly necessary for the provision of an information society service that you have expressly requested. In accordance with the relevant legal framework, you do not have the possibility to choose whether to reject the installation of these cookies, as without them the provision of services from our website would not be technically possible.


2.Performance Cookies
We use third-party cookies (Google Analytics) for the sole purpose of analysing traffic and improving the performance of the website, while taking appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the secure processing of your data (e.g. IP address anonymisation). These cookies collect information about how you use the website, such as, for example, the pages you visit most often, the page from which your visit originated, the type of browser you use, etc. Performance cookies collect aggregate, anonymous statistical information that cannot lead to visitor identification on our part.

 

3. Advertising cookies (third-party cookies)
We use so-called third-party cookies (Google analytics / Search console) to display personalised advertisements tailored to your preferences. By means of a unique number (ID), information such as your IP address, the browser you are using, which advertisement has already been shown in your browser and whether you have accessed a website via an advertisement is identified. You have the option to refuse the installation of these cookies, and our policy provides detailed information on how they work and how you can manage them. However, given that the revenue from advertisements enables us to provide you with our services in an accurate, timely and independent manner, we would ask you to accept their use by us.

Advertising Management Policy

The gopaxos ad management policy has been created in order to manage ads on gopaxos wherever they exist and more specifically defines the framework within which gopaxos chooses to operate regarding whether to publish ads, what kind of ads to publish, how they will be displayed if they are uploaded and how they will be taken down. It is at gopaxos’ sole discretion how it will formulate its ad management policy across the gopaxos network. It also reserves the right to change the policy, revising it whenever it sees fit. The revisions will be visible on the corresponding page of the gopaxos ad management policy. In order to keep the level of service high and free from advertising “noise”, gopaxos does not display third party advertisements (where third party is defined as any advertiser using advertising of any kind such as banners, brands, articles, contextual advertising). In terms of the advertising policy followed by gopaxos, advertising is considered any of the following: banners, modules, micro sites, native advertising and any other material provided by third parties in order to promote their product or service.
Exceptions to the above rule are the action pages located on the gopaxos website and relating to actions carried out in order to inform or mobilize users on various issues related to their health, the blog, newsletters sent to gopaxos users who have agreed to receive corresponding material, as well as gopaxos’ social media pages.
The ad management policy is defined by the following rules. These rules may be modified or reworded by gopaxos who is the sole administrator of this policy.

  1. – It is at the sole discretion of gopaxos to decide the type of advertisements that will be accepted and displayed on its network. The acceptance and display of advertising nevertheless does not imply that gopaxos supports or endorses the advertised products or services or the company that advertises them, the manufacturer, provider, etc.

  • – gopaxos does not accept to upload ads on its network that fall into any of the following categories:

  • ◦ are not accurate and are intended to mislead the user, present false facts and incomplete information
    ◦ they do not respect the laws and customs of the State
    ◦ the subject matter of the advertisement concerns products or services that may in any way cause harm to the user
    ◦ present material that does not respect or in any way offends (directly or indirectly) a particular individual or group of individuals on account of their age, weight, origin, sex, race, sexual preference, ability or limitations in relation to such preference or any other condition considered to be sensitive
    ◦ advertises drugs and other prohibited substances, weapons, gambling, pornography and related matters, cigarettes
    ◦ advertisements aimed at children under 12 years of age
    ◦ advertisements for video games
    ◦ advertisements that do not respect the aesthetics and purpose of gopaxos
    ◦ any other type of advertising that does not fall into the above categories but which is not deemed by gopaxos to be suitable for display on its network.

  • – gopaxos distinguishes advertising from the content of the site and the rest of the network with distinctive markings. Gopaxos will not allow the posting of advertisements that are not marked accordingly.

  • – By clicking on the advertisement, the user can be redirected to the corresponding site or landing page of the advertiser, which has also been approved at the content level by gopaxos, if this has been agreed between the advertiser and gopaxos.

  • – It is the advertiser’s responsibility to comply with the laws and regulations governing advertising in the Greek state and the European Union and to include in his/her advertisement everything that the law defines as mandatory depending on the subject of the advertisement, such as titles, footnotes, etc.). However, in the event that it is necessary and considers that the advertisement falls short of the aforementioned, gopaxos reserves the right to take down the advertisement without obtaining the advertiser’s permission.

  • – No advertisement is allowed to include any kind of mechanism for collecting personal data and user behavior such as but not limited to those mentioned here, pixels, cookies, flash containers, etc., unless there is written approval from gopaxos. Even if gopaxos approves the use of pixel this cannot be used to collect personal information of the gopaxos user, no pixel can be flash, the pixel must be blockable and cookies can be disabled by the user if they wish and finally, the advertiser may not contact, renew the permission to use cookies or the user’s profile based on any information gathered on the gopaxos website, including information that the profile belongs to a gopaxos user, or use any information derived from the use of the site.
