This Cookie Policy explains how KD Tours Santorini (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://kdsantorinitours.com/ (the “Website”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

 
  • First-party cookies: Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, KD Tours Santorini).

     
  • Third-party cookies: Cookies set by parties other than the website owner. These enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

     

2. Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as “essential” or “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website and to measure the success of our marketing campaigns.

 

The specific types of cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described below:

 

A. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential to provide you with services available through our Website and to use some of its features. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Website to you, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions.

  • Purpose: Basic site functionality, security, and remembering your cookie consent preferences.

B. Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Website is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are. These cookies are only placed on your device if you give us your explicit consent.

  • Provider: Google Analytics

  • Purpose: To track website traffic, user behavior (e.g., pages visited, time spent on the site), and improve website performance.

C. Targeting and Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you. They perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed for advertisers, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests. These are only active if you give us your explicit consent.

  • Providers: Google Ads, Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel

  • Purpose: To track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns on Google and Meta platforms, and to show you relevant KD Tours Santorini ads when you visit other websites or social media platforms.

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies.

You can change your mind at any time by clicking the “Cookie Preferences” link (usually located in the footer of our Website).
