What are the different types of cookies?
Strictly Necessary – Necessary cookies help make our website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function without these cookies. These cookies don’t gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you have been on the internet.
Functionality – These cookies enable us to remember information that changes the way the website looks, such as your preferred language or the region that you are in. The information these cookies collect cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. These cookies may persist so that your choices are remembered when you visit our website again. Additionally, these cookies do things such as ensuring that your password works and that you stay logged in when you move between pages on the site and help the site to remember details about your visit. They also keep you secure while you are logged in and help to ensure the site looks consistent during your visit.
Performance – These cookies collect information about how you use our site, such as which pages you visit and if you experience any errors. They do not collect anything that could identify you as it is aggregated data and we only use them to improve how our site works, understand what interests our users, and measure how effective our content is. Our performance cookies include: (a) web analytics to provide information on how our site is used, and (b) error management to help us improve the site by measuring any errors that occur.
Third-party cookies – First-party cookies are cookies set with the same domain (or its subdomain) as your browser’s address bar. Third-party cookies are cookies set with domains different from the one shown on the address bar. Grenian uses Google Analytics to collect statistical data relating to our website’s traffic. This is not used to collect any personal data about you.

Our use of cookies
We use “Necessary” cookies to make our website work, for example by setting the appropriate language version of the website for you, for security authentication, network management, and accessibility. We do not require your consent to use these necessary cookies, but you can disable them if you prefer by changing your browser settings as explained below, although doing so will likely mean that our site will not work as you would expect.
We do not set other optional types of cookies (performance, functionality, advertising, targeting) on your device unless you consent by enabling them through the pop up which appears on your first visit to this website; this will set a cookie on your device to remember your preferences, so the pop up will not usually automatically reappear on subsequent visits.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by following the instructions below.
Can you turn cookies off?
If you do not agree to the use of these cookies, or would like to withdraw consent at any time, you can do so by following the instructions in this policy. You can usually also switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings. Through these settings, you can accept or decline cookies or set your browser to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the website. You should be aware that you may not be able to use all website features if you set your browser to disable cookies entirely. You can delete any cookies that have been installed in the cookie folder of your browser. The various browsers provide different procedures to manage your settings.
Social media
On some pages, we also feature embedded ‘Share’ buttons or widgets that enable you to share content through a number of popular social networking sites, such as LinkedIn and Twitter. These third-party sites set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies and you should check the relevant third-party website to see how your information is used and how to opt out.
