What are cookies?

Grant Thornton in Greece uses the absolutely necessary cookies for the proper functioning of its official website. Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you browse. They are processed and stored by your web browser. On their own, cookies are harmless and serve critical functions for websites. Cookies can also generally be viewed and deleted easily. Cookies cannot read data from your hard drive or cookie files created by other websites and do not harm your system.

For any other information about cookies, you can visit https://gdpr.eu/.

When you visit our website, a pop-up will appear asking for your consent to the use of optional cookies. If you choose not to accept the use of optional cookies, we will not use these cookies, but we will continue to use the cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. The choice you make will be valid for 1 year and then you will be asked again via a pop-up reappearance.

 

What kind of cookies do we use?

In general, there are three different ways to classify cookies: what is the purpose they serve, how long they remain and where they come from. In this section you can find the types and duration of cookies we use: 

A first-party cookie is created and stored by the website you are visiting directly. It allows website owners to collect customer analytics data, remember language settings, and perform other useful features that help provide a good user experience.

Third-party cookies are created and placed by third parties other than the website you are visiting directly. Some common uses include: 

  • Cross-site Tracking: the practice of collecting browsing data from multiple sources (websites) that details your activity.
  • Retargeting: use search activity to retarget visitors with visual or text ads based on products and services they've shown interest in.
  • Ad Serving: making decisions about which ads appear on a site, deciding when to show those ads, and collecting data (and reporting that data, including impressions and clicks) in an effort to educate advertisers about consumer statistics and ad performance. 

A session cookie contains information that is stored in a temporary memory location and then deleted after the session is completed or the web browser is closed. This cookie stores information entered by the user and tracks the user's movements within the website. 

Session cookies expire when you close the browser, they do not accumulate information from the user's computer or the user's identity. The information they store is in the form of session identification that will in no way concern the user personally.

What are the categories of cookies and how do we use them?

Below are the categories of cookies we use, with reference to the data collected and the purpose they are used per category of cookies:

Necessary cookies are cookies that our website must use to perform its basic functions. For example, necessary cookies can be used to remember which page a user is on. 

Also known as "performance cookies", these cookies collect information about how you use a website, such as which pages you visited, and which links you clicked. None of this information can be used to identify you. They are all aggregated and, therefore, anonymized. Their sole purpose is to improve the functions of the website. This includes cookies from third-party analytics services, as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of the website visited. 

These cookies track your online activity to help advertisers deliver more relevant ads or limit the number of times you see an ad. These cookies may share this information with other organizations or advertisers. These are persistent cookies and almost always of third-party origin.
