Cookies are small text files containing information, which are stored by a website’s server on the terminal device (computer, mobile phone, etc.) of a visitor/user while browsing it. The website retrieves this information upon each visit in order to provide services related to it. A typical example of such information includes a user’s preferences on a website, as declared through the choices made on it (e.g. selection of specific “buttons”, searches, etc.).
According to Article 4 paragraph 5 of Law 3471/2006, the storage or access to stored information in a user’s terminal equipment is permitted only if the specific user has given their consent following clear and comprehensive information. An exception to the obligation to obtain consent, according to the above paragraph, concerns the storage and access to information whose sole purpose is to “carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or is strictly necessary for the provision of an information society service explicitly requested by the user or subscriber”. In essence, user consent is not required for cookies that are considered technically necessary for connecting to the website or for providing internet service.
Cookies may be installed either by the Provider of the website visited by the user (first-party cookies) or by third parties through the website provider visited by the user (third-party cookies).
