This Cookie Policy explains how Visit Athens (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website owner and third parties about how the site is used.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms.

Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are most popular and how visitors navigate the site. This helps us improve our content and user experience. These cookies are only set with your consent.

Functional Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your preferred currency or language, to provide a more personalized experience.

Advertising & Affiliate Cookies
When you click on an affiliate link or widget on our site (including but not limited to GetYourGuide, Viator, Headout, and Booking.com), these third-party partners may set cookies on your device. These cookies track that a booking originated from our website so that we may earn a commission, and may also be used by these partners for their own analytics or advertising purposes. We do not control these third-party cookies — please refer to each partner’s own cookie and privacy policy for details.

Third-Party Cookies We May Use

Our website may set cookies from the following third parties:
– Google Analytics (website usage analytics)
– GetYourGuide (affiliate tracking)
– Viator (affiliate tracking)
– Headout (affiliate tracking)
– Booking.com (affiliate tracking)

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

When you first visit our website, you will be shown a cookie consent banner where you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by [insert: clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer / re-opening the consent tool].

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the website functions, and blocking third-party affiliate cookies may prevent certain widgets (such as booking search tools) from working correctly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal or regulatory reasons. Please check back periodically.
