Πολιτική Cookies

Hazlis & Rivas is the official and exclusive representative of The Economist Group for Greece, Cyprus, Malta and SE Europe. We operate a strict Privacy Policy around the world. 

Why Cookies are important

Cookies help make your online experience more efficient and relevant to your interests. For instance, they are used to remember your preferences on sites you visit often, to remember your user ID and the contents of your shopping baskets, and to help you navigate between pages more efficiently.

What is a Cookie?

A Cookie is a small file, or files on your computer, phone, or other device with a browser to save snippets of text for reference by the website you are visiting.

All Cookies have expiration dates in them that determine how long they stay in your browser:

• Session Cookies– these are temporary Cookies that expire (and are automatically erased) whenever you close your browser. For example, we use session Cookies to grant access to content and enable commenting (things you have to login to do).
• Persistent Cookies– these usually have an expiration date and so stay in your browser until they expire, or until you manually delete them. For example, we use persistent Cookies for functionality including not re-showing the cookie banner when you’ve made your choice. We also use persistent Cookies to better understand usage patterns so that we can improve the site for our customers.

We’ve included more details below to help you understand what kinds of Cookies and other technologies we use.

Other technologies linked to Cookies

There are other technologies which can seem similar to Cookies, but are not the same, including pixels and site tags. These pixels or tags can be used to retrieve information such as your device type or operating system, IP address, time of visit, etc. They are sometimes used to create or access the Cookies on your browser, but are not Cookies themselves. Only Cookies which you can control will appear in the Cookie consent tool.

What types of Cookies do we use and why?

Cookies are grouped into the following categories:

Necessary: these are Cookies that help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Functional – these remember your preferences, and are intended to make your experience on our websites better for you. For example we use a functional Cookie to remember your Cookie preferences from our Cookie consent tool.

Statistic – these Cookies that help website owners to understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

Marketing – these Cookies enable us to track your online activity to help us deliver advertising and to limit how many times you see these adverts.
To ensure compliance with our policies, we restrict the use of third-party Cookies to trusted partners of our company. For example, we currently allow partners including:

– JW Player, Youtube, Brightcove for our multimedia platform, Google Ad Manager and Doubleclick (Google) for our advertising platform;

– We also use third party information from third party sources to enable us to deliver advertising. Establishing a particular audience demographic allows us to target advertising based on browsing behaviour stored in a Cookie. These sources are validated by the third party, not by us.

Below you’ll find information to help you manage your Cookie preferences.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand the traffic to our sites. You can see how Google Analytics (one of our analytics tools) uses Cookie information when you use our partners’ sites by visiting www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners, or any other URL Google may provide from Time-to-time.

How can I delete or opt-out of Cookies?

You can opt out of Cookies at any time by using our Cookie consent tool. This tool includes additional detail on the types of Cookies used, what information is being collected and for what purpose. It also includes links to the Privacy Policies for each individual Cookie, giving you the option to allow or block as you choose. When you reference any one of these Privacy Policies, you’ll find more information on the controls available to you, and your rights with respect to the personal information that these third parties’ access, collect and use about you. Please note that we are not responsible for the content of other external websites. Your Cookie consent preferences are accessible at any time at the bottom of all Economist Group website pages.
