What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are used to store small pieces of information and to track user behaviour online. These cookies are stored on your device when the website is loaded on your browser. Cookies help us to make the website function properly by saving preferences and browsing patterns while you are on the website and provide security. In this way cookies enhance the user experience, and analyze how the website performs so that we can improve our services.

How do we use cookies?

A cookie may enable us to relate your use of our website to other information about you. All of these purposes serve to improve and personalize your experience on our website.

As most websites do, S&T PIERETTIS TOURISTIC CO LTD uses both first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes.

First-party cookies are cookies set by this website and controlled by S&T PIERETTIS TOURISTIC CO LTD and not by any other external organisation. First-party cookies are primarily necessary for the website to function correctly, and they do not collect any of your personally identifiable data.

Third-party cookies are the cookies that are placed on your device, not by our website, but by a third party like an advertiser or an analytic system. Third-party cookies are mainly used to understand how the website performs, how users interact with the website, and to provide advertisements that are relevant to you. These cookies also help ensure the security of our services and improve your user experience by speeding up future interactions with our website.

Every time you visit the website, you will be presented with a cookie banner prompting you to accept or refuse cookies except strictly necessary cookies.  Even if you refuse to allow the use of certain cookies, you will still have access to the information and/or services offered through our website. However, refusing a cookie may negatively impact the display or function of the website or certain areas or features of the website.

The purpose of cookies generally is to enable the website to remember your preferences (such as user name, language, etc.) for a certain period of time. That way, you don’t have to re-enter them when browsing around the website during the same visit.

Cookies can also be used to establish anonymised statistics about the browsing experience on our website. Your IP address is used to help identify you and to gather demographic information about you, such as country of origin and internet service provider but does not include personally identifiable information. Our server may also record the referring page that linked you to us (e.g. another web site or a search engine); the pages you visit on this website; the web site you visit after this website; the ads you see and/or click on; other information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related software and settings you are using; any search terms you have entered on this website; and other web usage activity and data logged by our servers.

We use this information for internal system administration, in order to help us diagnose problems with our servers and/or administer our services.
