When you visit https://halkidiki.villamare.bg/ for the first time, we will ask you to accept the use of “cookies” in accordance with the terms of these rules. By using our website and accepting these rules, you agree that we use “cookies” in accordance with this policy. If you have not reflected a choice to accept the policy, we assume that by continuing to use our site, you have read and accepted that we only use functional (necessary) cookies, without which the operation of the site is impossible.

What are “cookies”
Cookies are small text files that some websites store on your computer or mobile device. On this website, cookies are used to improve the operation of your browser.

A “cookie” is installed through a request sent from the server of a given web page to the browser (for example: Internet Explorer, Chrome), and it is completely “passive” (it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and has no access to the user’s hardware information).

What are “cookies” used for
These files make it possible to recognize the user’s device and present its content in a way adapted to the user’s preferences. “Cookies” provide the user with a pleasant experience while browsing the internet and help the company to offer services appropriate to users, such as language preferences, screen appearance, consent provided with privacy policies. Also, “cookies” are used in the preparation of anonymous statistics that help us understand how a given user prefers to use our website, allowing us to improve its structure and content, excluding identification of the user’s identity.

What “cookies” do we use
Halkidiki Villa Mare uses two types of “cookies” — session cookies and persistent cookies. The first are temporary files that remain on the user’s device until the end of the user session or until the application (web browser) is closed. Persistent files remain on the user’s device for the period parameterized by the cookies or until they are manually deleted by the user.

How the “cookies” are used on this website
Visiting this site may create “cookies” for the following purposes:

• We use “cookies” for the efficiency of our website. These “cookies” allow collecting information about how visitors use our website, including which pages are visited most often and whether they receive error messages from certain pages. These “cookies” do not collect information that individually identifies a visitor. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous. It is used only to improve the functioning of https://halkidiki.villamare.bg/.
• We use functional “cookies” on our website to allow https://halkidiki.villamare.bg/ to remember the information you have entered or your choices and offer better, more personalized features. These “cookies” can also be used to remember changes made to text size, fonts, and other parts of the web pages that you can customize.
• We use third-party service providers to serve the presentation of our products online. This information, which is not personally identifiable, is anonymous and does not include your name, address, email address, or other personal information, but your IP address may be collected. Anonymous information is collected by using a pixel tag (also known as “cookies” and action tags), which is a standard technology used by most major websites.
• We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website. Our analytics service provider generates statistical and other information about website usage through “cookies.” The information generated related to our site is used to create reports on its usage. More information can be found here. The privacy statement of the analytics service provider is available at this address.
• This website anonymizes IP addresses. The IP address of users is shortened in the EU member states and in the European Economic Area. This shortening removes the personal referential address of your IP address. According to the terms of the agreement between website operators and Google Inc., they use the collected data to compile an assessment of the site’s activity and provide Internet-related services.
• Our site may contain links to other sites, sharing buttons, for example, Twitter or Facebook “Like” buttons. These other websites, services, and applications may set their own “cookies” on users’ computers, collect data, or request personal information. You should refer to all privacy policies found on such websites, services, and applications to understand how your information may be collected and used.

Do “cookies” contain personal data
Cookies themselves do not require personal information to be used and usually do not identify the identity of internet users. Personal data collected when using cookies may only be collected to facilitate user use. This data is encrypted in a way that does not allow unauthorized persons to access it.

Blocking “cookies”
By default, an application for accessing web pages allows the storage of cookies. These settings can be changed so that the automatic management of cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed each time cookies are sent to their terminal. Detailed information about the possibilities and ways to manage cookies can be found in the settings of the application (web browser). Restricting the use of cookies may affect some functions of the web page.

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies:

• In Internet Explorer (version 10) you can block “cookies” using “Settings,” “Internet options,” “Privacy,” and then “Advanced”;
• In Firefox (version 24) you can block all “cookies” by clicking “Tools,” “Options,” “Privacy,” selecting “Use custom settings for history” from the dropdown menu, and unchecking the boxes;
• In Chrome (version 29) you can block all “cookies” by opening the “Customize and control” menu and clicking “Settings,” “Show advanced settings,” and “Content settings.” Blocking all “cookies” will negatively affect the usability of many websites. If you block “cookies,” you will not be able to use all features of our website.

Deleting cookies
You can delete “cookies” that have already been stored on your computer, for example:

• In Internet Explorer (version 10), you must manually delete the “cookies” files (instructions are available at https://support.microsoft.com/kb/278835);

Security and confidentiality
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text format. They are not made up of code parts, so they cannot be executed or run independently. Therefore, they cannot be duplicated or copied to other networks to start or copy themselves again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.

Browsers usually have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of acceptance of cookies, validity period, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a given site.

We take maximum care to protect personal data, the information stored by cookies, and the smooth operation of all website functionalities.
