Cookie Policy

Last updated: February 21, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding cookies when you visit evangelosc.site. We are committed to ensuring your privacy and giving you control over your data.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how visitors use their site.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

2.1 Necessary Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation, secure access, and remembering your cookie consent preferences. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Note: These items are stored using your browser's localStorage (not HTTP cookies). They are not transmitted to our server. Your consent is re-requested after 12 months to ensure your preferences remain current. You can change your preferences at any time using the "Manage Preferences" button above.

2.2 Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve our website. Currently, no analytics cookies are in use on this website.

2.3 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences and settings. Currently, no functional cookies are in use on this website.

2.4 Security Event Logs (Not Cookies)

To protect this website from malicious activity, we maintain security event logs (e.g., tracking 404 errors or CSP violations). These logs do not use cookies. They do not read or write any browser storage, and they are completely stripped of any personal data (such as IP addresses or User-Agents) before being saved. Security event logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days, after which they are automatically pruned. For more details on what is logged, see our Privacy Policy.

2.5 Marketing & Third-Party Cookies

These cookies are used to track visitors across websites for advertising purposes. Third-party cookies from embedded content may fall into this category.

Our Approach: We use YouTube's Privacy-Enhanced Mode (youtube-nocookie.com) and load video content only after you explicitly click to play. This means no YouTube cookies are set until you give your consent through your action. When you interact with embedded content, the following cookies may be set:

Important: When you interact with embedded YouTube videos, YouTube/Google may set various cookies on your device. These may include cookies for:

• Video playback and preferences
• Security and fraud prevention
• Analytics and performance measurement
• Personalization and advertising (if applicable)

Data Transfer Notice: Interacting with embedded YouTube/Google content may involve the transfer of your data (including your IP address) to servers in the United States, where data protection standards may differ from those in the EEA. For more information, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy.

The specific cookie names, purposes, and durations are determined by YouTube/Google and may change at any time. For the most current and complete list of cookies used by YouTube/Google, please refer to the official Google Cookie Policy.

• Right to Consent: You can choose which cookies to accept
• Right to Withdraw Consent: You can change your preferences at any time
• Right to Access: You can request information about cookies stored on your device

4. Managing Cookies in Your Browser

5. Third-Party Cookies

Our website contains embedded content from third-party services. We take a privacy-first approach:

• YouTube: We use YouTube's Privacy-Enhanced Mode (youtube-nocookie.com) which prevents YouTube from setting cookies until you explicitly click to play a video. When you click to play, YouTube may set cookies for analytics, video playback, security, and personalization. If you are signed into your Google account, additional cookies may be set to remember your login state and preferences.
• Google Drive: Embedded content may use cookies for authentication and delivery.

Important: These cookies are set directly by the third-party services only when you choose to interact with their content. We do not have control over these cookies. The cookie durations listed in this policy are based on the third parties' documented practices and may be subject to change by them.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) including Greece, we display an explicit consent dialog before loading any YouTube content. Only after you click "Accept & Play" in that dialog will YouTube content and cookies be loaded. You can manage your YouTube/Google privacy settings at Google Account Settings.

6. Legal Basis for Processing

Our use of cookies is based on:

• Consent: For analytics, functional, and marketing cookies
• Legitimate Interest: For necessary cookies required to operate the website
