1. Overview
This Cookie Policy applies to the public NPLabs website and should be read with the Privacy Policy.
Under EU and Greek rules, storing information on your device or accessing information already stored on your device generally requires consent unless the technology is strictly necessary to provide a service you requested or to transmit a communication.
The public website is not intended to use behavioral advertising cookies or third-party advertising pixels. If NPLabs later uses analytics, advertising, or other non-essential tracking, NPLabs will update this Cookie Policy and seek consent where required before those technologies are activated.
2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website or third party. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, software development kits, and embedded content that can store or access information on your device or send technical information to a provider.
Some technologies are necessary for a website to work. Others may be used for preferences, performance, analytics, advertising, or embedded third-party features.

The Site does not currently present a public analytics or advertising cookie banner because it does not load third-party analytics or advertising trackers. If NPLabs adds analytics, remarketing, pixels, chat widgets, consent-management tools, or new embedded media later, NPLabs will update this Cookie Policy and provide consent controls where required.
4. Third-Party Resources
Third-party providers may process technical information when their resources are loaded, even where NPLabs does not set a first-party cookie. These providers may include content delivery networks, font providers, map providers, and newsletter tooling.
When you click an external social, map, or sharing link, the destination website may use its own cookies and tracking technologies. Those third-party practices are governed by their own notices, not this Cookie Policy.
5. How You Can Manage Cookies and Local Storage
- You can block or delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings.
- You can clear site data for NPLabs in your browser to remove first-party local storage such as nplabs-public-locale, nplabs-public-site-version, and blogCategoryCounts.
- You can use browser privacy settings, private browsing, or tracking-protection tools to limit third-party resources.
- You can unsubscribe from newsletters by using the unsubscribe method in the email or by contacting NPLabs.
Blocking necessary or functional resources may affect the display, performance, or availability of some Site features.
6. Updates to This Cookie Policy
