Cookies

  • The "Cookies" are small bundles of information (small text files) that are sent by a web server to a web browser, which allow the server to gather information from the browser. A "cookie" can be considered as an online user identity, which tells the website that the user is accessing it. "Cookies" are not computer programs and cannot read other information stored on your hard drive. They cannot be used as virus transmitters or to identify the user's email address. They contain and transfer to the website only the information that the users themselves have made available to that specific website. "Cookies" help make the interaction between the user and websites faster and easier. Without "cookies", it would be very difficult for a website to allow a visitor to fill a "shopping cart" or remember the user's preferences or registration details for future visits. The Company's website uses "cookies" to allow customers to navigate from one point of the website to another and to add items to their "shopping cart" without needing to log in repeatedly. It also allows us to provide you with reliable information regarding your account and the status of your order. The Company uses digital marketing service providers to attract new visitors and/or customers to its website. In order to know the source of these new customers, the digital marketing service providers provide us with technology such as "pixels" and transparent GIF files. This technology works based on the recognition of a "cookie" in your web browser that allows us to identify which advertisement led you to us. This technology does not have the ability to recognize your personal information. The European directive related to the Privacy of electronic communications, hereinafter referred to as the "Directive", which came into effect on July 31, 2002, recognizes that "cookies" are a "legal and useful tool" for many activities, including the identification of website users. The directive makes it mandatory for websites to inform users if "cookies" are used on them (this is exactly what we are doing at this point regarding our website), as well as to provide some information about how "cookies" are used. You can find out more about the subject on specific websites. Finally, the "Directive" imposes an obligation on websites to inform their users that they can configure their computers to reject "cookies". Most browsers allow the user to disable the "cookie" function. If you wish to learn how to do this, please refer to the "Help" option in your browser's menu or related websites. As described above, this will limit the services you can use through the website (which is common on most commercial websites), as they do not function without "cookies". The www.desocks.gr uses "cookies" for a variety of reasons, for example, to allow us to simplify the login process for already registered users, to ensure the validity of registered users, and to provide us with the mechanisms for electronic shopping and traffic management. Although you need to allow your browser to accept "cookies" in order to browse, a large part of our website and several of the services offered on it require you to have "cookies" enabled in order to make any electronic purchase from any of our sales points and to access areas that are restricted for use only by registered users. Regarding unregistered users, anonymous "cookies" are sent to record their browsing behavior and create a demographic profile. Additionally, any visitor who has clicked on any advertisement of the website www.desocks.gr on another website linked to www.desocks.gr will be sent a temporary (e.g., fifteen-day lifespan) anonymous "cookie" that will allow us to analyze the effectiveness of our advertising campaign and manage our relationship with related websites.
