It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, which cookies and storage technologies are currently in use, and how you can control your preferences.

If you have any questions about our use of cookies or similar technologies, you can contact us using the details above.
2. What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files that websites can place on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit them.
Cookies can perform a variety of functions. For example, they can help a website work correctly, remember choices you have made, understand how visitors use the website, and measure the effectiveness of advertising.
We may also use browser storage technologies, such as Local Storage, which allow information to be stored within your browser without using a traditional cookie.
In this policy, references to cookies and similar technologies include cookies, Local Storage, and comparable browser technologies where appropriate.
3. How we use cookies
We divide the cookies and similar technologies used on istoselida.cy into three categories:
- Necessary
- Analytics
- Advertising
Necessary technologies are used where required for the website to operate correctly or to remember choices you have made, including your cookie preferences.
Analytics and Advertising technologies are optional and are controlled by the choices you make through our cookie consent system.
You can accept all optional technologies, reject them, or choose which categories you wish to allow.
4. Cookies and similar technologies currently in use
The following table describes the cookies and browser storage technologies currently used on istoselida.cy.
| Name | Provider | Type | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| isto_consent_v1 | Istoselida | Local Storage | Necessary | Stores your Analytics and Advertising consent choices, together with a timestamp, so the website can remember your cookie preferences. | Persists in your browser until cleared or replaced |
| isto_sess | Istoselida | Cookie | Necessary | Created only when you send one of our forms. It carries any corrections back to the form and lets the confirmation page open once. | Deleted when you close your browser |
| isto_lang | Istoselida | Local Storage | Necessary | Remembers the language you chose for the website (Greek or English). | Persists in your browser until cleared or replaced |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Cookie | Analytics | Helps Google Analytics distinguish visitors and collect statistical information about how the website is used. | Up to 2 years |
| _ga_23MDFDNZGR | Google Analytics | Cookie | Analytics | Used by Google Analytics 4 to maintain information about website sessions associated with our GA4 property. | Up to 2 years |
| isto_attr_first, isto_attr_last | Istoselida | Local Storage, Session Storage | Analytics | Remembers how you first and most recently found our website (for example a search engine, an advertisement, or a campaign link), so that if you send us an enquiry we know which of our marketing worked. | isto_attr_last: until you close the browser tab. isto_attr_first: persists in your browser until cleared, or until you withdraw consent |
The Analytics cookies listed above are only intended to be used when you have consented to Analytics through our cookie consent system.
The exact expiry date of a cookie may be refreshed when you revisit the website, depending on the way the relevant service operates.
We will update this table when cookies or similar technologies are added, removed, or materially changed.
5. Necessary technologies
Necessary technologies help our website function correctly and support features that are required for the operation of the website.
They may be used for purposes such as:
- Remembering your cookie preferences
- Website security
- Maintaining essential website functionality
- Providing functionality specifically requested by you
Our current necessary technologies are isto_consent_v1, isto_sess, and isto_lang.
This Local Storage record remembers the choices you make through our cookie consent system, including whether you have allowed Analytics or Advertising technologies.
Because this preference needs to be remembered for the consent system to operate properly, it is treated as Necessary and cannot be disabled through the cookie preference controls.
It can, however, be removed by clearing the relevant website data through your browser.
isto_sess is a session cookie that is only created when you send one of our forms. It lets the form show you any corrections and lets the confirmation page open once, and it is deleted when you close your browser.
isto_lang is only created when you choose a language, and remembers that choice.
6. Analytics cookies
With your consent, we use analytics technologies to understand how visitors interact with istoselida.cy.
With your consent to Analytics, we also remember how you found our website (isto_attr_first and isto_attr_last), so that if you send us an enquiry we can see which of our marketing brought you to us. Without that consent, nothing is stored: an enquiry only includes how you arrived at the page where you sent it.
Analytics information can help us understand things such as:
- Which pages are visited
- How visitors arrive at our website
- How visitors navigate between pages
- How long visitors spend on the website
- The types of devices and browsers used
- General website usage and performance
- Whether visitors encounter technical or usability problems
We currently use Google Analytics 4 through Google Tag Manager.
Our Google Analytics Measurement ID is:
G-23MDFDNZGR
The Google Analytics cookies currently observed on the website are _ga and _ga_23MDFDNZGR, as detailed in the table above.
Analytics cookies are optional.
If you reject Analytics cookies, you can still use istoselida.cy.
7. Advertising cookies
With your consent, we may use advertising and conversion-measurement technologies to understand the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
These technologies may help us understand whether somebody visited istoselida.cy after viewing or interacting with one of our advertisements and may help us measure advertising performance.
We do not currently list any Advertising cookies in the table above because none are currently deployed through the website.
In the future, we may introduce advertising technologies from providers such as:
- Meta
- Microsoft
If we introduce these technologies, we will update this Cookies Policy and the table above to identify the relevant cookies or similar technologies.
Where consent is required, Advertising technologies will only be activated in accordance with the choices you make through our cookie consent system.
Rejecting Advertising cookies will not prevent you from using istoselida.cy.
8. Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use istoselida.cy.
Google Analytics can provide us with aggregated information about website usage, such as pages viewed, visits, interactions, device and browser information, and traffic sources.
This information helps us understand how the website performs and where it can be improved.
Google Analytics is categorised as Analytics within our consent system.
We do not intend to activate Google Analytics cookies unless you have consented to Analytics.
9. Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager to manage certain tags and technologies used by the website.
Google Tag Manager allows us to control the deployment of services such as Google Analytics and, in the future, may also be used to manage advertising and conversion-measurement technologies.
Google Tag Manager does not itself change the consent requirements applying to the technologies deployed through it.
Where a technology requires consent, it should only be activated in accordance with the preferences you have selected through our cookie consent system.
10. Your cookie choices
When you first visit istoselida.cy, our cookie consent system gives you control over optional technologies.
You can choose:
Accept All
This allows Necessary technologies and gives consent for Analytics and Advertising technologies.
Reject
This rejects optional Analytics and Advertising technologies. Necessary technologies remain active.
Choose
This allows you to decide separately whether Analytics and Advertising technologies may be used.
Necessary technologies remain active because they are required for essential website functionality and to remember your cookie preferences.
11. Changing your cookie preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time.
A Cookie settings link is available in the footer of istoselida.cy.
Selecting Cookie settings will reopen the consent controls, allowing you to change your choices for Analytics and Advertising technologies.
If you withdraw consent, this does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before your consent was withdrawn.
Changing your preferences will control the future use of optional technologies through our consent system.
12. Managing cookies and browser storage yourself
Most web browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings.
Browsers may also allow you to clear website data stored through technologies such as Local Storage.
The exact controls vary depending on the browser and device you use.
Please be aware that clearing website data may also delete your saved cookie preferences. If this happens, our website may ask you to make your cookie choices again the next time you visit.
Blocking certain necessary technologies may also affect how parts of the website function.
13. Third-party technologies
Some optional technologies used on istoselida.cy are provided by third parties.
We currently use Google Analytics 4 for website analytics.
Third-party providers may process information collected through their technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable data protection laws.
Where consent is required, we use our consent system to control whether optional technologies are activated.
For more information about how we handle personal data and our use of third-party service providers, please see our Privacy Policy.
14. How long cookies remain on your device
Different cookies and browser storage technologies remain on your device for different periods.
Some cookies are session cookies, meaning they expire when you close your browser.
Others are persistent cookies, meaning they remain for a specified period or until they are deleted.
Local Storage typically remains in your browser until it is cleared by you, removed programmatically, or otherwise cleared by the browser.
The current durations of the technologies used by istoselida.cy are shown in the table in Section 4.
15. Personal data and cookies
Information collected through cookies and similar technologies may constitute personal data or be associated with other information relating to a visitor.
Where personal data is processed through these technologies, we handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we use personal data, the legal bases on which we rely, how information may be shared, international data transfers, retention, and your data protection rights.
16. Changes to this Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time.
For example, we may update it when:
