  1. Ensuring Privacy of Transfer of your Personal Data/data transfer security

We recognize the importance of the issue of security of your personal information and your online transactions and take all necessary measures with the most modern and advanced methods to ensure maximum safety problems. All information related to your personal information and your transactions are secure and confidential. 

To ensure data transfer security during payment by credit, debit or prepaid card we use Stripe (https://stripe.com). Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. To accomplish this, we use the best-in-class security tools and practices to maintain a high level of security at Stripe. All card numbers are encrypted at rest with AES-256. Decryption keys are stored on separate machines. None of Stripe’s internal servers and daemons can obtain plaintext card numbers but can request that cards are sent to a service provider on a static allow list. Stripe’s infrastructure for storing, decrypting, and transmitting card numbers runs in a separate hosting environment, and doesn’t share any credentials with Stripe’s primary services (API, site, etc.). This API tracks a payment, from initial creation through the entire checkout process, and triggers additional authentication steps when required. For more information please visit https://stripe.com/docs/security/stripe.

Access to the systems of www.effiepanagoula.com (servers) is controlled by a firewall, which allows the use of specific services to customers/users by prohibiting access to systems and databases with confidential information and

The use of cookies is based only on your clear consent. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that if you revoke your consent, you will not be able to access specific areas or features of our Site.   

You can avoid storing electronic tracks on your hard drive by changing the settings in your browser accordingly. We use this data exclusively for the sending of our newsletters and for the answer to your questions. All data is stored on network servers, which operate under a high level of security and which are protected from improper use and are not accessible to unauthorized persons. Disabling cookies will make it impossible to easily browse the Site and therefore users accept this operation from the beginning. When you visit the Site for the first time, a permanent "cookie" (a small text file) will be set and stored on the user's hard drive. Cookies are used during your successive visits to the Site to "personalize" it. You can visit the Site without the permission of cookies, but you will not be able to use all the features of the Site or enjoy its specific features. 

The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie.

Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device. See the section below on how to control cookies for more information on removing them before they expire.

According to article 4 par. 5 of Law 3471/2006 the storage of information or acquisition of access to stored information in the user terminal equipment is only permitted if the particular user has given his/her consent upon clear and extensive information. An exception to the obligation to obtain consent in accordance with that paragraph shall be the case of storage and access to information intended solely to ‘the transfer of a communication via an electronic communications network or which is necessary for the provision of an information society service expressly requested by the user or subscriber.

Some cookies are necessary to allow you to browse our Site, use its features, and access secure areas. The use of these cookies is essential for the Site to work. For example, we use user-input cookies for the duration of a session to keep track of a user’s input when filling in forms that span several pages.

We also use functional cookies to remember choices you’ve made or information you’ve provided, such as your username, language, or the region you are in. This allows us to tailor your site experience specifically to your preferences. For example, authentication cookies are functional cookies that are used for the duration of a session (or persistent, if you agree to the “remember me” function) to allow users to authenticate themselves on subsequent visits or to gain access to authorized content across pages. The functional cookies we use include:

  • User-centric security cookies to detect authentication abuses for a limited persistent duration, like repeated failed login attempts. These cookies are set for the specific task of increasing the security of the service.
  • Multimedia content player session cookies (flash cookies) are used for the duration of a session to store technical data needed to play back video or audio content (e.g. image quality, network link speed, and buffering parameters).
  • Load balancing session cookies are used for the duration of the session to identify the same server in the pool in order for the load balancer to redirect user requests appropriately.
  • User interface customization persistent cookies are used to store a user’s preference regarding a service across web pages.

To this end, we use reporting and analytics cookies to collect information about how you use our Site or our merchants’ storefronts, and how often. These cookies only gather information for statistical purposes and only use pseudonymous cookie identifiers that do not directly identify you. The performance cookies we use include:

  • First party analytics cookies - We use these cookies to estimate the number of unique visitors, to improve our Sites and our merchants’ Sites, and to detect the most searched for words in search engines that lead to a webpage. These cookies are not used to target you with online marketing. We use these cookies to learn how our Sites and our merchants’ Sites are performing and make relevant improvements to improve your browsing experience.
  • Third party analytics cookies - We also use Google Analytics and other third-party analytics providers to help measure how users interact with our Site content. These cookies “remember” what our users have done on previous pages and how they’ve interacted with the Site (for more information on Google Analytics, visit Google’s information page). 

Advertising cookies are used on our Site to tailor marketing to you and your interests and provide you with a more personalized service in the future. These cookies remember that you visited our Site and we may share this information with third-parties, such as advertisers. Although these cookies can track your device’s visits to our Site and other sites, they typically cannot personally identify you. Without these cookies, the advertisements that you see may be less relevant and interesting to you. Read more about how companies use cookies to conduct targeted or retargeted advertising here. We do not set advertising cookies through our merchants’ storefronts ourselves, though merchants may choose to do so independently.

Finally, Social and Content cookies are placed by many social media plugins (for example the Facebook ’like’ button), and other tools meant to provide or improve the content on a site (for example services that allow the playing of video files, or that create comments sections). We integrate these modules into our platform to improve the experience of browsing and interacting with our Site. Please note that some of these third party services place cookies that are also used for things like behavioural advertising, analytics, and/or market research.
