Cookie policy

Cookie policy for María Dimitropoulou López's website: it uses no first-party or third-party cookies and measures visits with Plausible, a cookieless tool.

Last updated:

Under Directive 2002/58/EC (the ePrivacy Directive), in conjunction with Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), websites that use non-essential cookies must obtain the user’s express consent before the user browses them.

Cookies used on this website

This website does not use its own or third-party cookies. To know how many people visit it, it uses Plausible Analytics, an analytics tool that sets no cookies and collects no personal data: it only gathers aggregated, anonymous statistics (pages viewed, referral source, country, device type and browser). It includes no advertising or embedded third-party content, and fonts are served from the site’s own domain.

Links to social networks (Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn) lead to third-party sites, which apply their own cookie policies when you visit them.

If cookies requiring consent are added in the future, this policy will be updated and your consent will be requested before they are set.

What are cookies?

Cookies and similar technologies such as local shared objects, flash cookies or pixels are tools used by web servers to store and retrieve information about their visitors and to make the site work properly. They allow the web server to remember certain information about the user, such as their display preferences for the server’s pages, username and password, products they are most interested in, etc.

Cookies covered by the regulations and exempt cookies

Under the EU directive, the cookies that require the user’s informed consent are analytics, advertising and affiliate cookies; technical cookies and cookies necessary for the website to work or to provide services expressly requested by the user are exempt.

Types of cookies

By purpose

Technical and functional cookies: allow the user to browse a website, platform or application and use the different options or services it offers.

Analytics cookies: allow the party responsible for them to monitor and analyse the behaviour of users of the websites they are linked to. The information collected is used to measure website activity and to build users’ browsing profiles.

Advertising cookies: allow the most efficient possible management of the advertising spaces the publisher has included on a website, based on criteria such as the content published or how often ads are shown.

Behavioural advertising cookies: collect information about the user’s personal preferences and choices (retargeting) to manage advertising spaces as efficiently as possible.

Social cookies: are set by social media platforms to let you share content with your friends and networks. Social media platforms can track your online activity outside their services.

Affiliate cookies: track visits coming from other websites with which the site has an affiliate agreement.

Security cookies: store encrypted information so that the data stored in them is not vulnerable to malicious attacks by third parties.

By ownership

First-party cookies: are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third-party cookies: are sent to the user’s device from a computer or domain that is not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

By retention period

Session cookies: are designed to collect and store data while the user is on a website.

Persistent cookies: keep data stored on the device so that it can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.
