Cardora Cookie and Similar Technologies Policy

For this policy, “cookies” includes HTTP cookies, local storage, session storage, pixel-like technologies, device or browser identifiers and other technologies that store or retrieve information on a user’s device.

Cardora may use both session technologies, which expire when the session closes, and persistent technologies, which remain for a specified period to retain useful choices or necessary security states.

Cardora separates technologies into categories so that users can understand each group’s purpose and which groups can be controlled through consent settings.

Cardora activates necessary cookies and equivalent technologies only when technically required to provide a service requested by the user or to operate the marketplace safely. Examples include signing in, the cart, checkout state, in-platform notifications, fraud protection and continuation of an active secure session.

These technologies are not used for undefined commercial tracking. A tool that is not actually necessary for the particular function is not classified as “necessary” merely because it is useful for reporting or marketing.

Where Cardora uses or later enables non-essential technologies, these belong to optional categories such as preferences or analytics. They are not enabled simply because someone visits the website. Cardora seeks to rely on a clear choice that can be withdrawn.

Users can change their mind at any time through the cookie panel, a relevant link in the Cookie Policy or browser controls. Withdrawal does not affect lawful processing based on the previous choice, but it affects future activation of optional categories.

Support chat is provided by Chatwoot and loads when you choose “Open chat” after the notice. Visiting the website or accepting cookies does not itself activate chat. Once opened, the service uses cookies to maintain the conversation and receives technical information about the visit. Closing the chat window does not delete the conversation history or the service’s cookies. You can alternatively contact support@cardora.gr.

Identity verification redirects users to Didit’s secure website when they choose to continue after the specific notice and consent step. Didit may use cookies, session identifiers and device/IP information to maintain the verification session and prevent fraud. If the process starts on a computer, Didit displays a QR code requiring continuation of the same personal session on a phone. Afterwards, the user returns to Cardora. Biometric consent is separate from cookie choices. Further information appears in Cardora’s Privacy Policy and Didit’s privacy notice.

Cardora uses third-party providers where necessary to provide the marketplace, including payment and connected-payout providers. In protected payments and seller payout setup, certain storage or identifiers may be needed for security, payment integrity, fraud prevention and the correct return to or continuation of the process.

If a Cardora page later includes embedded media, maps, videos, widgets or external scripts that are not technically necessary, Cardora should place them in the corresponding optional category or activate them only after the relevant choice.

Session cookies or identifiers normally remain only as long as the session requires. Persistent cookies or local storage entries are retained only while they serve a reasonable purpose, such as saving consent choices, retaining non-essential preferences or keeping basic interface choices stable.

Cardora seeks to review retention periods and remove entries that are no longer needed. Where information is required for compliance, fraud prevention, disputes or transaction evidence, retention may follow the broader rules described in the Privacy Policy.

Users can select “necessary only”, accept all categories or save specific choices through Cardora’s cookie panel. They can also delete cookies or local storage entries through their browser settings.

Disabling certain technologies may affect sign-in, the cart, checkout or other services. Disabling necessary technologies at browser level may prevent access to essential platform functions.

Cardora may update this Cookie Policy when its tools, consent controls, providers, cookie categories or relevant legal obligations change.

The latest version is always published on this page with its last-updated date. When a change materially affects non-essential categories, Cardora may ask users to make their choice again.
