Controller for the purposes of the GDPR:
Vasilissa Digital Media Group (hereinafter, “The Controller“)
Digital Property:
Cyprus Pulse (https://cypruspulse.com/, hereinafter “the Website“)
1. Preamble & Third-Party Dependency Disclaimer
This Privacy Notice & Cookie Policy (the “Policy”) delineates the potential deployment of cookies and analogous tracking technologies on the Website. The Controller hereby provides explicit notice that the technological architecture, operational functionality, and any consequent data processing activities of this Website are contingent upon third-party proprietary systems, including but not limited to the WordPress content management system, its associated plugins, themes, and external hosting environments.
The Controller does not engineer, administer, or exercise granular control over the specific codebase, data collection mechanisms, or the telemetry protocols inherent in these third-party systems. The presence and function of tracking technologies are an involuntary and constitutive feature of the standardized platforms upon which the Website’s publication is fundamentally dependent. Consequently, the Controller expressly disclaims direct knowledge of, or responsibility for, the operational minutiae, data provenance, or the ultimate beneficiaries of these automated processes.
2. Scope and Non-Negotiable Nature
This document constitutes a standard, non-negotiable disclosure furnished for informational compliance purposes only. It outlines generic cookie functionalities as conventionally understood within the digital ecosystem and shall not be construed as a representation, warranty, or admission of the Controller’s specific technical practices, which are limited and passive in nature.
3. Absence of Intent and Limitation of Role
The Controller affirms a policy of non-intentionality and operational detachment concerning the direct use of cookies. The Controller does not knowingly install, configure, or utilize any first-party cookies or similar tracking identifiers for its own analytical or commercial purposes. Any such technologies present on the Website are an ancillary and automated function of the third-party infrastructure. The role of the Vasilissa Digital Media Group team is strictly confined to content creation and curation; said team possesses no technical authority, access, or responsibility for the Website’s underlying data processing environment and is fully indemnified from any associated liabilities.
4. Categories of Cookies Potentially Present
Pursuant to the reliance on external infrastructure, the following classifications of cookies may be present without the Controller’s direct intervention or consent:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies: Essential for the foundational rendering and core operability of the Website, including session management and load distribution.
- Performance & Analytics Cookies: May be autonomously deployed by the underlying platform or integrated services to aggregate anonymized data concerning site performance and user interaction metrics.
- Third-Party / Embedded Content Cookies: May be instigated by external services whose content is embedded within the Website (e.g., video players, mapping services, social media interfaces). These are governed exclusively by the privacy policies of the respective third parties.
5. User Consent Mechanism & Management under GDPR
In recognition of the stipulations of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679, user consent for non-essential cookies is a legal prerequisite. As the technological implementation for consent capture is itself managed by a third-party system, the Controller provides a consent management platform (CMP) as a component of the external infrastructure.
Users are presented with opt-in/opt-out choices for certain cookie categories via their browser in terms of site visitation. The logging and compliance with these preferences are managed by the third-party system. Users are advised that the manual disabling of all cookies via their individual browser settings may impair the Website’s core functionality and is undertaken solely at the user’s own risk and discretion. The Controller assumes no liability for website inoperability resulting from user-configured browser restrictions.
6. Limitation of Liability and Expertise
The Controller explicitly disclaims ownership, expertise, and operational jurisdiction over cookie technology, data tracking protocols, and their associated legal frameworks. This Policy is provided as a courtesy disclosure and does not constitute legal or technical advice. For comprehensive, expert information regarding cookies, including their technical specifications, purposes, and management, users must consult specialized, authoritative third-party resources.
7. Data Subject Rights under GDPR
Pursuant to GDPR, data subjects may have rights including the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to processing yccsmc. As the Controller is not the direct processor of data collected via automated site technologies, any requests to exercise these rights concerning data potentially collected by the Website’s infrastructure should be directed to the relevant third-party service providers, in accordance with their publicly available privacy policies. The Controller will provide reasonable assistance, within its limited capability, to direct such inquiries but cannot guarantee outcomes governed by external entities.
8. Policy Revisions
The Controller reserves the unilateral right to amend, update, or revise this Policy at any time to reflect changes in the underlying technological infrastructure or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons, without prior notice. The “Last Updated” date may be amended accordingly, and continued use of the Website constitutes acknowledgment of the then-current Policy.

Please be advised: The Controller’s capacity to respond to technical or detailed inquiries concerning specific cookie functions, data flows, or third-party data handling is severely limited. For substantive questions, you are strongly recommended to seek independent information from authoritative sources specializing in digital privacy and EU and non-EU cookie, Iuris Præceptum Tecum Sit.
