Almira Mare hereby informs the users of the almiramare.gr website about the use of cookies through the website. This Website is managed by the hotel, which is entirely located in Greece.
This policy applies only to the almiramare.gr website and not to any other websites that the user may consult or access through links that the Website may include.
Cookies are text files containing bundles of information stored in the browser directory of a user’s computer or mobile device (e.g. laptop, tablet, mobile phone, etc.) each time a website is accessed online via the browser. Each time the user visits that website at a later time, the browser sends those cookies to the website from which they originated or to another website. Cookies allow these sites to remember certain information so that the person visiting the site can explore the site quickly and easily. A cookie cannot display other data from the user’s hard drive, nor can it transmit computer viruses or obtain email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user’s browser.
Similar technologies, e.g. web warning signals or GIF slides, can be used to collect information about a user’s behaviour and use of services. In this Cookies Policy, all such technologies will be referred to as “cookies”.
There are different types of cookies. Some are designed to make the use of the site more efficient and to improve the user’s browsing experience, while others enable specific functions.

- TYPES OF COOKIES USED
1.1 TECHNICAL COOKIES
Technical cookies are used for the proper functioning of certain parts of the Website. The Website uses only technical cookies, for which any technical storage or access is permitted “for the sole purpose of carrying out or facilitating the transmission of a communication via an electronic communications network or which is necessary only for the provision of a service in the information society, which has been expressly requested by the user or subscriber” (Article 4(5) of Law 3471/2006).
They can be divided into browser cookies and session cookies, which ensure that the website functions properly:
-
- analytical cookies, which are technical cookies when used to measure and analyse the total number of users and behaviour on a particular website,
- functionality cookies, which make it possible to adapt the website according to the various choices made by the user (e.g. language, etc.) in order to provide an improved service.
The acquisition and processing of the data obtained through the use of technical cookies is necessary for the proper functioning of the Website. If a user objects to the use of these technical cookies, he/she will not be able to access and view the Website properly.
1.2 FUNCTIONAL COOKIES
The user’s consent is required to install this type of cookie. We inform users that by rejecting this type of cookie they may not be able to take advantage of all the features and benefits provided on our website & services.
1.3 ADVERTISING COOKIES
Apart from technical cookies, the general rule governing the use of an electronic communication network “to access information stored on the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user” is that informed consent must be given by the user, i.e. the user must indicate his/her acceptance and not rejection.
This means that those cookies that cannot properly be characterised as “technical” and are therefore more critical to protect users’ privacy, e.g. those used to provide user profiles, to promote our products and services or for advertising and marketing related matters, may not be installed on users’ terminals unless the user has been adequately informed in advance and has given valid consent.
- THIRD PARTY WEBSITES
While browsing a website, the user may receive cookies from third parties.
Third-party cookies are set by a website other than the one the user is browsing. This is because each website may contain elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to websites in other domains, etc.) located on servers other than the one of the website being viewed.
