Cookies Policy

 

The following relates to the cookies policy on the NTNG website, and includes information on how the user can manage his/her preferences in relation to cookies.

Cookies are small text files containing information that a website's server stores on your computer or other terminal device when you visit it. This is done so websites can function without technical problems, but also to collect multiple choices made by users, to facilitate their access to the website, and to collect data to improve the content of the website.

In accordance with Article 4 par. 5 of Law 3471/2006, as amended by Article 170 par. par. 5 of Law 4070/2012, the storage of information or the gaining of access to information already stored on the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only allowed if the subscriber or user concerned has given his/her consent after they have been given clear and extensive information. The consent of the subscriber or user may be given through appropriate settings in the web browser, or through another application. The above shall not prevent any technical storage or access for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or which it is necessary for the provision of an information society service expressly requested by the user or subscriber.

Therefore, for the placement of cookies and generally for the use of trackers and related technologies, the user's consent is required, unless the technologies in question are technically necessary: i.e. those technologies that are absolutely necessary for the performance of basic functions of the website (indicatively, preserving content entered by the user during a login, the user's connectivity, and the smooth operation of the website, user security, etc.). Please note that the installation of cookies for the purpose of online advertising or statistical analysis requires the user's prior informed consent.

Cookies may be set by the provider of the website visited by the user (first-party cookies) or by third parties through the provider of the website visited by the user (third-party cookies).

Cookies are divided into strictly necessary cookies, which are required for the basic functionality of the website, so without them some parts of the site may not work; targeted cookies, which allow us to understand how users interact with the website environment by extracting statistics such as the number of visitors, traffic measurement, etc.; functionality cookies, which assist in specific processes such as sharing content, etc.; and advertising cookies, for the display of appropriate advertising in line with the user’s preferences.

You can manage the installation of cookies through the browser you use (Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera), choosing to be warned before a cookie is downloaded or to set your acceptance and use, or rejection, of the cookie. In this case, some services on the website may not function. You can also delete all the cookies stored on your terminal device by deleting your browsing history, but this may remove your stored login details and preferences.

In relation to cookies used for sharing content on social networks, the NTNG website makes it possible to share the content on its pages on social networks (FaceBook etc.), if the user consents, in which case each platform will install its own cookies on the terminal device used (third-party cookies). The NTNG is restricted in its storage of the user's particular choice, and not in the collection of data that can be derived from the installation of cookies by third-party providers.

Third-party companies (e.g. Google) may display their advertisements on the NTNG website and install cookies to optimize the browsing experience and to display advertisements based on the user's previous visits to ntng.gr and on.ntng.gr.  You can opt out of Google's ad personalisation here.   The NTNG website uses first-party and third-party cookies to send statistics to Google Analytics relating to website logins and traffic data. Your options for opting out of Google Analytics can be found here.

This Cookies policy may be subject to periodic updates, which will take effect once the revised Cookies policy is available on the NTNG website.
