When we use words like “us”, “we”, “our” we mean The Green Greyhound. You can find our company details below. We are the data controller of the data collected through the use of cookies on our website.
​
Our website is https://www.thegreengreyhound.scot, incl. our sub-domains and other sites we own and operate.
When we refer to “you” we mean you as a user or visitor of our website.
​
This policy is part of our privacy policy. Our use of cookies may include processing of your personal data and we therefore recommend that you read our privacy policy.
​
What do I need to know about cookies?
​
There are different types of cookies and they are used for different purposes.
Below you can read about what a cookie is, the difference between first and third party cookies and session cookies vs. persistent cookies and what types of cookies we use on our website and why.
​
What is a cookie?
​
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on your device when you visit it. A cookie typically contains information about the website itself, a unique identifier that allows the site to recognise your web browser when you return, additional data that serves the purpose of the cookie, and the lifespan of the cookie itself.
Cookies are used to enable certain features (e.g. logging in), to track site usage (e.g. analytics), to store your user settings (e.g. timezone, notification preferences), and to personalise your content (e.g. advertising, language).
​
Session cookies vs. persistent cookies
​
Session cookies only last as long as your online session. This means that they will disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser. They are therefore also sometimes referred to as temporary cookies. Typically session cookies are used to remember what a user put in their basket when they are browsing a website.
Persistent cookies are different. These cookies are sometimes called permanent cookies. They will stay on your computer or device after you close your browser. These types of cookies will expire according to the time specified in the cookie. You can see the specific duration of each persistent cookie below.
​
What’s the difference between first and third party cookies?
​
First party cookies are cookies that are set by the website that you are visiting and it's only this website that can access and read these cookies.
​
Third party cookies are set by someone other than the owner of the website you’re visiting. As an example, some pages have content from other sites like YouTube. YouTube may set their own cookies on your browser when you play the video from YouTube. Cookies set by other sites and companies (ie. third parties) can be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.
​
Below you can see what cookies on our website are first party cookies and third party cookies.
​

Marketing cookies
​
Marketing cookies are used in determining what promotional content is more relevant and appropriate to you and your interests. Websites may use them to deliver targeted advertising or to limit the number of times you see an advertisement. This helps companies improve the effectiveness of their campaigns, and the quality of content presented to you. These cookies may be set by the website you’re visiting (first-party) or by third-party services. Marketing cookies set by third-parties may be used to track you on other websites that use the same third-party service.

​
Third-party cookies on our site
​
We may employ third-party companies and individuals on our websites, e.g. analytics providers and content partners. We grant these third parties access to selected information to perform specific tasks on our behalf.
