Cookies Policy
We use cookies – the online not the choc-chip ones – so that www.redowl.gr runs properly and you can navigate through our pages without glitches. At least that’s what the powers that be tell us cookies do. If you want to find out more about our cookies, knock yourself out. A surprise awaits you at the end.
What are cookies?
Cookies are tiny little data files that a website goes and hides on your computer, tablet or mobile phone. Cookies allow a website to remember your actions when you navigate through it, just in case you forgot.
There are 2 types of cookies:
- Session cookies: These are deleted automatically, never to be seen again, as soon as you leave our website.
- Persistent cookies: They are stubborn little fellas that remain on your device longer or until you delete them yourselves. If you visit our website again and you haven’t deleted them, we automatically recognise that you have visited us before, what you looked for and what settings you chose, so that you don’t have to repeat the same steps (see how we make it easier for you?).
Although most browsers – such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firebox, Safari and Opera (Internet Explorer has been intentionally left out; we assume no one uses it any more) – support the use of cookies, you can set your browser to not accept cookies or erase them later on.
Which cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies
As the name suggests, they are essential for the website to carry out key functions. These cookies allow you to navigate through the website and use the capabilities you have requested, such as access to secure parts of the website. Without these cookies we cannot offer you the services that permit the website to run. So it’s your loss.
Performance cookies
These cookies collect anonymous information about how you use the website. They allow us to understand the way in which you interact with the website, providing us with information about which pages you visit, how much time you spend on the website, as well as any problems you may have encountered, such as error messages. This information helps us improve the way our website works. So help us help you.
Functionality cookies
These cookies improve your experience through the website. For example, they remember information such as username, language or geographic location preference. These cookies may be used to offer you the services you request, such as watch a video, comment on a blog or interact with third-party services (e.g. social media). Since they remember your choices, they help the website offer you improved and personalised options. See how we care?
How we use cookies
On our website, we use cookies in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. This provision says that we have a legitimate interest to optimise our website. It’s ours anyway.
Cookies do not damage your computer or mobile phone, and do not contain viruses, Trojan horse type malware or other harmful software. Scout’s honour! The cookies collect information that arises depending on the device used each time. This does not mean that we can identify you directly through these. So rest assured, we don’t know who you are.
How to check or delete cookies
You can check and/or delete cookies as you wish, we’re not going to stop you. If you want to find out more about cookies, go to www.allaboutcookies.org.
You can delete cookies already on your computer, it’s your choice. And if you’re fed up with cookies, you can set up all browsers in a way that does not allow the installation of cookies. But if you do this, you may need to adjust some preferences yourselves every time you visit a website, while some of the services may possibly not work. Don’t come crying to us if that happens.
This Cookies Policy is supplemented by the Privacy Policy (for more page-turning reading).
