Cookie Policy

How and why we use cookies on this website.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored in your browser when you visit a website. They help the site function properly, remember your preferences, and allow us to improve our services.

This policy applies to the website of ΙΚΕΠ Αμαρουσίου.

Types of cookies we use

1. Essential / functional cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function (for example: sending a contact request, security checks, spam protection). Without them, certain services may not work correctly.

  • PHPSESSID — Keeps a temporary session active so forms and requests work correctly.
  • csrf_token (session) — Helps protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) when you submit a form.
  • _GRECAPTCHA — Used by Google reCAPTCHA v3 to detect abusive automated traffic.

2. Analytics / performance cookies

These cookies (for example, Google Analytics) help us understand which pages visitors view, how long they stay, and how they navigate the site. We use this information to improve our content and user experience. The data is aggregated and not used to personally identify you.

  • _ga, _gid — Google Analytics cookies for anonymous traffic statistics.

3. Marketing / advertising cookies

These cookies are often used for targeted advertising and personalised marketing. We are not currently using marketing / advertising cookies on this website.

How long do cookies stay on my device?

Some cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser (“session cookies”). Others remain stored for longer until they expire or you delete them manually (“persistent cookies”).

How to manage cookies

You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that if you disable essential cookies, certain features (such as sending us a message through the contact form) may not work properly.

You can usually find cookie management options here:

  • Chrome settings
  • Firefox settings
  • Safari preferences
  • Edge settings

You can also clear already stored cookies from your device via your browser’s privacy / history settings.

Cookies & personal data

Some cookies may technically be considered personal data (for example, an IP address). We only use cookies for: (a) security / technical operation of the website, and (b) anonymous usage analytics.

If you would like more information about how we handle personal data, or to exercise your data protection rights, you may contact us at info@ikep.gr.

If we change the way we use cookies, we will update this page.
