2. What are the categories of cookies?

In general, there are three different ways to classify cookies: their provenance, how long they endure, and what purpose they serve.
Depending on their provenance cookies are classified as “First-party Cookies” and “Third-party cookies”. First party Cookies are set by the website you’re visiting. Third-party Cookies are set by an entity that is distinct from the one that operates the website visited by the user. This happens when a website uses external services placing their own Cookies.
Depending on their endurance cookies are classified as “Session Cookies” and “Persistent Cookies”. A Session Cookie is automatically deleted when the user closes his/her browser. A “persistent cookie” remains stored in the user’s terminal device until it reaches a defined expiration date.
Finally, depending on their purpose, Cookies can be classified as “Strictly necessary Cookies”, “Preferences Cookies” (also known as “Functionality Cookies”), “Performance cookies” (also known as “Statistics Cookies”), and “Marketing Cookies” (also known as “Targeting Cookies”). The function of each category is explained in the section below.

3. Why are cookies important? What types of cookies do we use?

Client Testimonials

Niki's knowledge of the history there as well as how she related it to all of us was a perfect balance!
Julie
Niki knows her stuff, and she comes across as an intelligent and credible source of verified information. My wife and I used her as our group tour guide in Olympia and then again in Athens, and we were very pleased.
Tony
I definitely recommend other cruisers to book independently through Niki Vlachou.
