Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 July 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Karpathos Taxi (“Karpathos Taxi”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit https://karpathostaxi.gr/ (the “Website”).

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more generally how we collect, use and protect personal data.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer, mobile phone, tablet or other device when you visit them.

Cookies can be used to make a website function correctly, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use a website and improve its performance.

Similar technologies, such as browser storage, tags, pixels and scripts, may perform comparable functions. References to “cookies” in this policy include these similar technologies where applicable.

2. Types of cookies we use

We use the following categories of cookies:

2.1 Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for the Website and its cookie-consent system to function correctly.

These cookies may be used to:

• remember whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies;

• store your selected cookie categories;

• apply your consent choices on later visits;

• support the security and basic operation of the Website.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent where they are genuinely necessary to provide a service requested by the visitor. They cannot be disabled through our cookie-preference tool, although you may be able to block them through your browser. Blocking them may cause parts of the Website or its consent controls not to operate properly.

2.2 Analytics cookies

With your consent, we use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the Website.

Analytics information may help us understand:

• how many people visit the Website;

• which pages are visited;

• how visitors arrived at the Website;

• approximately how long visitors remain on pages;

• which devices and browsers are used;

• how visitors interact with the Website;

• whether errors or performance problems occur.

We use Google Analytics 4, implemented directly and through Google Tag Manager, for these purposes.

Analytics cookies are optional and should only be activated after you provide consent through the Website’s cookie banner or preference centre.

2.3 Advertising and personalisation storage

The Website’s consent configuration contains Google Consent Mode settings for advertising storage, advertising user data, advertising personalisation and personalisation storage.

At the date of this policy, the supplied Website source does not establish that advertising or remarketing services are actively used. These settings may nevertheless be available within Google Tag Manager.

Advertising, remarketing or personalisation technologies must not be activated unless:

1. the relevant service is actually configured;

2. visitors receive clear information about it; and

3. the visitor has provided the required consent.

If advertising services are added in the future, this Cookie Policy and the cookie-preference centre will be updated before those services are activated.

3. Cookies identified on the Website

The following cookies are associated with the technologies identified in the Website’s source code.

Google Analytics cookie names may change or additional cookies may be introduced if the Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager configuration is changed.

Browser-imposed restrictions may also shorten a cookie’s actual lifetime.

4. Technologies and third-party services

4.1 Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 to measure Website use and prepare aggregated statistics.

The Google Analytics measurement ID identified on this Website is:

G-3MZPG3THF3

Google Analytics may process information such as:

• a pseudonymous client or device identifier;

• pages viewed;

• session and interaction information;

• approximate location derived from an IP address;

• browser type;

• device type;

• operating system;

• referring page or campaign information;

• date and time of visits.

Google Analytics stores a client identifier in the first-party _ga cookie when analytics storage is permitted.

The information collected through Google Analytics may be processed by Google in accordance with Google’s own terms and privacy documentation.

4.2 Google Tag Manager

The Website uses Google Tag Manager to manage and deploy scripts and measurement tags.

The Google Tag Manager container identified on this Website is:

GTM-NB2VCJ87

Google Tag Manager itself is primarily a tag-delivery system. The cookies and personal-data processing that occur depend on the individual tags configured inside the container.

The container should be reviewed whenever its configuration changes, as tags may be added or altered without appearing directly in the visible Website HTML.

4.3 Google Consent Mode

The Website uses Google Consent Mode to communicate visitors’ consent choices to Google services.

The consent states included in the Website configuration cover:

• analytics storage;

• advertising storage;

• advertising user data;

• advertising personalisation;

• personalisation storage;

• security storage; and

• functionality storage.

Where consent has not been granted, Google tags should operate according to the applicable denied consent state. Depending on how Consent Mode and Google Tag Manager are configured, limited consent-status or cookieless measurement signals may still be transmitted to Google.

4.4 Google Fonts

The Website loads the Inter font from Google Fonts servers.

When the font files are requested, the visitor’s browser connects to Google-operated domains, including:

• fonts.googleapis.com; and

• fonts.gstatic.com.

This request may disclose technical information such as the visitor’s IP address, browser information and request metadata to Google. Google Fonts does not ordinarily need to set an analytics cookie merely to deliver a font, but the external request may still involve personal-data processing.

To reduce third-party connections, the Website operator may consider hosting the font files locally.

4.5 WhatsApp and Viber

The Website contains links that allow visitors to contact Karpathos Taxi through WhatsApp or Viber.

These services are not embedded into the Website as tracking widgets in the supplied source. However, when you select one of these links, you leave our Website or open the relevant application. Your interaction is then governed by the privacy and cookie practices of the relevant provider.

We do not control cookies or other technologies used by WhatsApp, Meta or Viber after you open those services.

5. Legal basis

For strictly necessary cookies, processing is based on the need to provide the Website, remember your cookie choices and maintain its security and functionality.

For analytics and any other optional cookies, the legal basis is your consent.

You are not required to accept optional cookies. Refusing or withdrawing consent should not prevent you from using the essential parts of the Website.

Where information collected through a cookie constitutes personal data, the related processing is also subject to applicable data-protection law, including the General Data Protection Regulation.

6. How we obtain consent

When you first visit the Website, a cookie banner allows you to:

• accept optional cookies;

• reject optional cookies; or

• open the cookie settings and choose individual categories.

Optional analytics, advertising and personalisation storage should remain disabled until you provide consent.

Your choice is stored so that the Website can apply it during later visits.

Consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. Rejecting optional cookies should be as easy as accepting them.

7. Changing or withdrawing your consent

You may change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time.

Use the Cookie Settings control available on the Website to reopen the cookie-preference centre and update your selections.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

After changing your choice, you may also delete previously stored cookies through your browser settings.

8. Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies.

Browser settings may allow you to:

• delete existing cookies;

• block all cookies;

• block third-party cookies;

• receive a warning before a cookie is stored;

• clear cookies when the browser closes; or

• create exceptions for particular websites.

The exact steps vary between browsers and devices. Consult your browser’s help or privacy settings for instructions.

Blocking all cookies may affect the operation of the Website and may prevent the cookie-preference system from remembering your choices.

9. International data transfers

Some third-party service providers identified in this policy, including Google, may process information outside Greece or the European Economic Area.

Where personal data is transferred internationally, the relevant provider and the Website operator must use a lawful transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards, where required by applicable law.

These safeguards may include an adequacy decision, approved standard contractual clauses or another legally recognised transfer mechanism.

Further information about applicable transfers should also be included in our Privacy Policy.

10. Data retention

Cookies remain on your device for the period stated in the cookie table unless:

• you delete them earlier;

• your browser restricts or shortens their lifespan;

• you withdraw consent and the Website removes them;

• their configured expiry period is changed; or

• the relevant service stops using them.

Information collected through Google Analytics may be retained separately within the Google Analytics account. That account-level retention period is controlled through the Website operator’s Google Analytics settings and is not necessarily identical to the lifespan of cookies stored on a visitor’s device.

11. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy where:

• cookies or technologies are added or removed;

• the purpose of a cookie changes;

• a service provider changes;

• the Google Tag Manager configuration changes;

• our legal obligations change; or

• the Website’s consent mechanism changes.

The revised policy will be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.

Material changes affecting optional cookies may require us to request consent again.
