What are cookies

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 during their browsing. The website retrieves this information on every visit in order to offer services related to it. A typical example of such information is the user’s preferences on a webpage, as indicated by the selections they make on it (e.g., specific “buttons,” searches, etc.).

According to Article 4(5) of Law 3471/2006, storing or gaining access to information stored on a user’s terminal equipment is allowed only if the specific user has given their consent after clear and extensive information has been provided. An exception to the obligation to obtain consent, as stated in the above paragraph, is the case where the storage and access to information is for the exclusive purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or is necessary for the provision of an information society service explicitly requested by the user or subscriber.” Essentially, user consent is not required for cookies considered technically necessary for connecting to the website or for providing the internet service.

Cookies may be installed either by the provider of the website the user visits (first-party cookies) or by others through the website’s provider (third-party cookies) that the user visits.

You can manage your cookie preferences through the “Cookie Management” section, which appears in the form of a banner when you enter the website, and you can access it at any time to change your selections during your browsing, as a subsection under “Personal Data Protection”.

For any additional information regarding our use of cookies, you may contact us by sending an email to: info@axon-group.eu. On the website axon-group.eu, we use cookies that are necessary to maintain user sessions for the website’s electronic services and to store user/visitor choices regarding optional cookies (“Necessary”).

With the consent of visitors/users, we will additionally use optional cookies for sharing content from the axon-group.eu website on the social media platform LinkedIn, after consent has been provided. During the sharing process, LinkedIn installs its own cookies on the visitor/user’s terminal device—the so-called third-party cookies. UHY Axon Group is not involved in the installation or use of these cookies and does not collect related data. UHY Axon Group only stores the user’s choice to enable the content-sharing feature.

By default, optional cookies are deactivated and are enabled only through a positive action by the visitor/user.
