MAIN SHIPPING / INFORMATION

Cookie Policy

Information about cookies, their purposes and your browser choices.

Last updated: 2 October 2026

1. About this policy

This policy explains cookies used in connection with mainshipping.gr, operated by Main Shipping IKE. For company details and information about personal data, see our Privacy Policy. Questions can be sent to info@mainshipping.gr.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information saved on your device by your browser. Session cookies normally expire when the browser session ends; persistent cookies remain until their expiry date or until you delete them. Similar storage technologies are subject to the same principles where applicable.

3. Essential functions and consent

Cookies strictly necessary to transmit a communication or provide a service you explicitly request may be used without prior consent under the applicable electronic communications rules. Other cookies, including optional analytics and advertising cookies, require prior informed consent.

The cookie notice on this website is informational. Selecting “Understood” remembers that the notice has been acknowledged; it does not authorise analytics, advertising or other optional tracking. Scrolling, continuing to browse or submitting an enquiry is not consent to such tracking.

4. Cookies relevant to website functions

The cookies below depend on the function you use. Visiting an informational page does not necessarily create every cookie in this list. Names containing a hash or user identifier vary between installations and users.

Cookie / group	Purpose and context	Duration
cookie_notice_accepted	First-party cookie remembering acknowledgement of the cookie notice.	1 month
wordpress_test_cookie	First-party test of browser cookie support when visiting the login page.	Session
wordpress_logged_in_[hash], wordpress_sec_[hash], wordpress_[hash]	First-party authentication cookies for people who sign in. They are not required merely to read the public company pages.	According to login/session settings; typically up to 2 days, or 14 days when “Remember Me” is selected.
wp-settings-[user], wp-settings-time-[user]	First-party interface preferences for signed-in WordPress users.	Up to 1 year
woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart	First-party cart state cookies if an installed cart function is used. The company contact form is not a checkout.	Session
wp_woocommerce_session_[hash]	First-party session identifier if a cart/session function is requested.	2 days

5. Analytics, advertising and external content

WooCommerce order attribution tracking has been disabled in the current configuration. The reviewed company pages do not load Google Analytics or advertising pixels. The cookie notice is not a consent mechanism for activating new optional trackers.

If optional analytics, advertising tools or third-party embedded content that accesses your device are introduced, the relevant information and consent controls must be provided before those technologies are activated. Refusing optional cookies must not prevent access to the core informational pages.

Following a link to an external website opens a service with its own cookie and privacy practices. This website’s cookie notice does not control cookies on external websites.

6. Managing cookies

You can inspect, block and delete cookies through your browser’s privacy or site-data settings. You can delete cookies for mainshipping.gr without deleting other websites’ cookies. Deleting the notice cookie may cause the notice to appear again. Blocking authentication or session cookies can prevent the corresponding requested function from working.

If a future feature uses consent-based cookies, you must be able to withdraw that consent as easily as you gave it. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

7. Personal data and your rights

Where cookie or technical information constitutes personal data, the GDPR applies alongside the electronic communications rules. Our Privacy Policy explains the controller, purposes, legal bases, retention criteria, recipients and your rights, including how to contact us or lodge a complaint with the Hellenic Data Protection Authority.

8. Updates

This policy reflects the website functions reviewed on the date above. Cookie use can change when website features or providers change; the policy and any required consent mechanism must then be reviewed and updated. For questions about a cookie you encounter, please send its name and the page where it appeared to info@mainshipping.gr, without sending passwords or authentication cookie values.
