What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone) when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used. Similar technologies, such as pixels and local storage, work in a comparable way and are covered by this policy. Cookies may be "session" cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain until they expire or you delete them.
Categories of cookies we use
We group cookies into the following categories. Only strictly necessary cookies are active by default; all others are set only after you give consent.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for the website and our online booking engine to function. They support core actions such as maintaining your session, keeping the details you enter (name, email, telephone, route information) during a booking, and enabling secure payments processed through Viva. Because they are required to deliver the service you request, they do not rely on your consent and cannot be switched off through the banner.
Analytics cookies
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our site, for example which pages are viewed and how our booking flow performs. This helps us improve our content and services. Analytics cookies are set only with your consent, and the information is used in aggregate.
Advertising cookies
We use Google Ads to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and, where relevant, to show you more relevant ads on third-party platforms. These cookies are set only with your consent.
Functional cookies
We embed Google Maps to display routes and locations for our transfers and excursions. Loading these maps may set cookies that support this feature. Functional cookies are set only with your consent; if you decline, related content may not display correctly.
Consent Mode v2 and the consent banner
When you first visit exitbus.gr, a consent banner asks you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. We implement Google Consent Mode v2, which adjusts how Google services (GA4, Google Ads and Google Maps) behave according to your choice. Until you give consent, these services are restricted and do not set non-essential cookies or read identifiers for analytics or advertising purposes. You can accept all, reject all, or choose specific categories.
How to withdraw or change your consent
Your consent is not permanent and you can change it at any time. You can:
- Reopen the cookie settings from the banner or the cookie preferences link on our site and update your choices;
- Delete or block cookies through your browser settings, which usually offer options to remove existing cookies and prevent new ones;
- Use the ad and analytics controls provided by Google to manage personalisation.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the booking engine from working.
Third-party cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties whose services we use, including Google (Analytics, Ads and Maps) and our payment provider Viva for the secure processing of payments. These providers process data under their own privacy and cookie terms, and may transfer data outside the EEA under appropriate safeguards. We recommend reviewing their policies for full details on how they use cookies.
Retention
The period for which cookies remain on your device depends on their type. Strictly necessary session cookies expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain for defined periods set by us or the relevant third party until they expire or you delete them. Where a category is enabled, cookies remain active only for as long as needed for the purpose described above or until you withdraw your consent, whichever comes first.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in applicable law. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
