II. Cookies policy

Cookies are small electronic files, consisting of letters and numbers, which are stored on the user's electronic device when visiting a specific website. Cookies help optimize the user's Internet browsing by anonymously collecting information about their interests and needs.

On our website we use cookies, in order to improve your browsing, connection and movement on our website. All information collected is anonymous and is used solely to optimize the structure and content of our website.

Cookies can be removed from the electronic device on which they are stored at any time on the initiative of the user and based on the settings of the internet browser used.

Information about online safety

EVENTURE website follows the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) data transmission protocol

To distinguish whether a website has ssl, it is sufficient to see the prefix with which its address begins in the address bar of the browser. Websites that have ssl begin with the prefix https://www. while those that don't have start with http://www.

SSL ensures the safe transfer of data from the website to any destination (another website, e-mail or even to the same website) because it sends all data encrypted.

For example: When a user fills in a form to participate in a conference, he puts in a lot of personal information. When the send button is pressed, these data are saved on the server. During the process of storing these data on the server (essentially transferring the data from the website to a database located on the server) all data is encrypted. So if a hacker or malicious program tries and retrieves this data it will be useless to them as it is encrypted and cannot be used.
