The acceptance of cookies is not a condition for accessing our website. You can manage and modify your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie banner available on our website.
Please read this Cookies Policy carefully to understand what cookies are, which cookies we use, and how you can manage your preferences.
Cookies are small text files containing information, which are installed and stored on your device (such as a computer, tablet, smartphone, or laptop) by the server of www.hellasstones.com during your browsing session.
Our website retrieves this information on each subsequent visit in order to provide you with the relevant services.
For example, cookies allow our website to remember your preferences, such as language settings or display options, for a certain period of time, so you do not need to re-enter them on each visit.
In addition, cookies enable us to analyze how you use our website and identify any issues during your browsing experience.
Furthermore, they allow the display of online advertisements tailored to your preferences and needs.
The installation and use of cookies are regulated by Law 3471/2006 (Article 4(5)), which transposed Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy Directive), as amended by Directive 2009/136/EC. The ePrivacy Directive is expected to be replaced by the ePrivacy Regulation, and therefore changes to this Policy may occur.
According to Article 4(5) of Law 3471/2006, the storage of or access to information stored on a user’s terminal equipment is permitted only if the user has given their consent after receiving clear and comprehensive information.
An exception to the obligation to obtain consent applies in cases where the storage or access to information has the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or is strictly necessary for the provision of an information society service explicitly requested by the user or subscriber.
In practice, consent is not required for cookies that are considered technically necessary for connecting to the website or for providing the online service requested by the user.
Consent is obtained in accordance with the definitions set out in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), meaning that a clear affirmative action (opt-in) by the user is required, as well as in accordance with the guidelines of the Hellenic Data Protection Authority. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
For this purpose, we provide you with the following detailed information:
