We use cookies to help improve

This cookie policy is part of Halkidiki Properties Real Estate's privacy

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data
that a website stores on your device when you visit, typically containing
information about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows the site
to recognise your web browser when you return, additional data that serves the
purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the cookie itself.
Cookies are used to enable certain
features (eg. logging in), to track site usage (eg. analytics), to store your
user settings (eg. timezone, notification preferences), and to personalise your
content (eg. advertising, language).
Cookies set by the website you are
visiting are normally referred to as “first-party cookies”, and typically only
track your activity on that particular site. Cookies set by other sites and companies
(ie. third parties) are called “third-party cookies”, and can be used to track
you on other websites that use the same third-party service.
Types of cookies and how we use
them
Essential cookies
Essential cookies are crucial to
your experience of a website, enabling core features like user logins, account
management, shopping carts and payment processing. We use essential cookies to
enable certain functions on our website.
Performance cookies
Performance cookies are used in
the tracking of how you use a website during your visit, without collecting
personal information about you. Typically, this information is anonymous and
aggregated with information tracked across all site users, to help companies
understand visitor usage patterns, identify and diagnose problems or errors
their users may encounter, and make better strategic decisions in improving
their audience’s overall website experience. These cookies may be set by the
website you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. We use
performance cookies on our site.
Functionality cookies
Functionality cookies are used in
collecting information about your device and any settings you may configure on
the website you’re visiting (like language and timezone settings). With this
information, websites can provide you with customised, enhanced or optimised
content and services. These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting
(first-party) or by third-party service. We use functionality cookies for
selected features on our site.
Targeting/advertising
cookies
Targeting/advertising cookies are
used in determining what promotional content is more relevant and appropriate
to you and your interests. Websites may use them to deliver targeted
advertising or to limit the number of times you see an advertisement. This
helps companies improve the effectiveness of their campaigns and the quality of
content presented to you. These cookies may be set by the website you’re
visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. Targeting/advertising
cookies set by third-parties may be used to track you on other websites that
use the same third-party service. We use targeting/advertising cookies on our
site.
Third-party cookies on our
site
We may employ third-party
companies and individuals on our websites—for example, analytics providers and
content partners. We grant these third parties access to selected information
to perform specific tasks on our behalf. They may also set third-party cookies
in order to deliver the services they are providing. Third-party cookies can be
used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service. As
we have no control over third-party cookies, they are not covered by Halkidiki
Properties Real Estate's cookie policy.
How you can control or opt out of
cookies
If you do not wish to accept
cookies from us, you can instruct your browser to refuse cookies from our
website. Most browsers are configured to accept cookies by default, but you can
update these settings to either refuse cookies altogether, or to notify you
when a website is trying to set or update a cookie.
If you browse websites from
multiple devices, you may need to update your settings on each individual
device.
Although some cookies can be
blocked with little impact on your experience of a website, blocking all
cookies may mean you are unable to access certain features and content across
the sites you visit.
Children's Privacy Policy
We are committed to protecting the
privacy of children who use https://www.halkidikiproperties.com/
and its services. This children’s privacy policy is part of our approach to
privacy, and covers the way we collect, store and manage information provided
by children under the age of 13, in accordance with the US Children’s Online
Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
We encourage parents to engage
with us in protecting their children’s privacy, ensuring a safe and enjoyable
online experience.
Collecting information from
children
At times, we may require
information from children to enable participation in certain activities, for
example, registering an account, customising a profile, or receiving
notifications. When collecting non-personal information, we encourage children
never to provide any details that may personally identify them or reveal their
location. We do not require children to provide more information than is
necessary to participate in an activity.
We do not use children’s contact
details for marketing purposes, though we may use them for our internal
marketing and research in order to improve the quality of products and services
offered across our site.
Parental consent
In accordance with COPPA, if an
activity does require any personal information (such as first name, last name,
or email address), we will provide notice to and seek consent from a parent or
guardian prior to collecting the information. We only retain collected
information for as long as necessary to enable participation in the requested
activity.
In the event we discover we have
collected personal information in a manner non-compliant with COPPA, we will
either delete the information or seek parental consent.
As a parent/guardian, if you
believe your child is participating in an activity that collects personal
information, and you have not received a notification or request for consent,
please feel free to get in touch via our contact page https://www.halkidikiproperties.com/.
We do not use parent contact details for marketing purposes unless marketing
materials are explicitly requested.
Safeguarding children’s
privacy
We take security seriously, and do
what we can within commercially acceptable means to protect your child’s
personal information from loss or theft, as well as unauthorised access,
disclosure, copying, use or modification. That said, we advise that no method
of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and cannot guarantee
absolute data security.
Information abuse and community
misconduct
We do not tolerate doxing
(publishing of private or personal information about an individual without
their consent), cyberbullying, or other forms of information abuse on https://www.halkidikiproperties.com/.
If we discover that a child’s
personal information has been disclosed on our site without the express consent
of their parent/guardian, we will remove the content in question as quickly as
possible and effect disciplinary measures (a warning, suspension or ban) on the
offending account.
Third-party access to information
We do not knowingly disclose any
personally identifying information or personal information provided by children
to third parties. We may, however, disclose anonymised and aggregated versions
of this information (analytics and statistics) for business, marketing or
public relations purposes.
Parental controls and
intervention
As a parent/guardian, you may at
any time refuse to let us collect further information from your children for a
particular activity or account. If you have given us consent previously, you
may log in to your child’s account to review, edit or delete the information,
or contact us via to request the
removal of the information from our records.
Please be aware that the removal
of certain information may result in the termination of the associated account,
or withdrawal from the associated activity.
