Privacy policy

1. General Information

The use of the web pages and services provided to the visitor/user by the website pitoglouosteopathy.gr requires your unconditional agreement with the following terms of use, which apply to all content of this website. Therefore, the visitor/user must carefully read these terms before using the website’s services and, if they do not agree, must refrain from using its services and content. The visitor/user is requested to check the content of the terms of use for any changes.

2. Personal information collected by this website

This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:

2.1 Traffic monitoring

This website uses Google Analytics (GA) to track visitor/user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people using our website, to better understand how they find and use our web pages, and to track their journey through the website.

Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser, and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address, which could potentially be used to identify you, but Google does not grant us access to it. Google acts as a third-party data processor.

2.2 Contact forms and email links

If you choose to contact us using a contact form or an email link, none of the data you provide will be stored by this website or transferred to or processed by any third-party data processor. Instead, this data will be sent to us via email using the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are protected by a security protocol, meaning that the email content is encrypted before being sent over the internet. The email content is then decrypted by our local computers and devices.

3. About cookies

3.1 What is a cookie?

The term “cookie” refers to a small data file consisting exclusively of a series of text-based information, which the website transfers to the web browser stored on your computer’s hard drive, either temporarily for the duration of your visit or sometimes for longer periods, depending on the type of cookie. Cookies perform various functions (for example, distinguishing you from other visitors of the same website or remembering certain preferences) and are used by most websites to improve your user experience.

Each cookie is unique to your browser and contains certain anonymous information. A cookie typically contains the domain name from which it originates, its “lifetime,” and a value (usually in the form of a randomly generated unique number).

3.2 Types of cookies

The main types of cookies that websites may use are described below:

• Session cookies

  These are temporary cookies that remain in your device’s browser cookie file only during your visit and are deleted when you close the browser.

• Persistent cookies

  These remain in your device’s browser cookie file even after the browser is closed, sometimes for a year or more (the exact duration depends on the lifespan of each cookie). Persistent cookies are used when the website administrator may need to recognize you across multiple visits (e.g., to remember your username or preferences).

• First-party cookies

  These are cookies set by the website you are visiting and stored in your browser and/or device hard drive. This includes assigning you a unique identifier to track your navigation within the website. Website administrators often use first-party cookies for visit management and identification purposes.

• Third-party cookies

  These are cookies used by third parties, such as social networks, to track your visits across websites where they advertise. The website administrator has no control over these third-party cookies.

These cookies inform us about how many visitors use the website, the time and duration of access, and provide information on how visitors navigate through different parts of the site.
