- Products and services for children's safety

- Initiatives for raising adults' awareness

On the occasion of the Safer Internet Day COSMOTE reminds us of the countless possibilities offered by the digital technology which come along with significant challenges.

COSMOTE has created the programme 'Child and safety in technology ' (www.safekids.gr) whereby offers innovative services and products to ensure children's safe browsing, while it takes initiatives to inform and educate adults about the safe use of technology.

The 'COSMOTE Smile' service enables parents to opt for the sites and the length of time their child can browse the Internet, which applications he/she can use as well as the specific numbers of incoming and outgoing calls to mobile phone. They can also define a geographical area and be notified with an alert if their child's mobile phone gets out of this range.

For the computer's protection when you are online (Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, Firewall), and for the parental control there is the 'COSMOTE Secure' service aiming to control and block access to sites with unwanted content. The service also allows determining the time that children surf the internet.

The specialised website 'Safe Kids' by COSMOTE provides information on all issues that concern parents about the use of technology by children and proposes integrated protection solutions in any environment, from the mobile phone to the tablet. It is being constantly updated with interesting topics on the web, the social media, games and applications for the proper use of technology.

Once a month, special information sessions to inform children on safe browsing on the Internet are held in the OTE Group's Telecommunications Museum in collaboration with representatives of the Cyber Crime Unit, as well as it is presented the educational show 'The Internet Farm' designed for preschool children and students of primary school'.

In the same context, COSMOTE also supports the Conference on Safe Web Browsing organised by the Cyber Crime Unit, which is to be held in Thessaloniki.
