2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a website to recognise your browser, remember information about your visit and support certain website functions.
Similar technologies, such as local storage, session storage, pixels or tags, may also be used for comparable purposes. In this policy, references to cookies include these similar technologies where relevant.
3. Types of cookies we may use
On grbaba.com, we may use the following types of cookies or similar technologies:
Strictly necessary cookies:
These cookies are required for the website to work properly. They may support core functions such as
page loading, security, form handling and remembering your cookie preferences.
Functional cookies:
These cookies may be used to remember choices you make, such as language preferences, form states or
other settings that improve your experience.
Analytics and performance cookies:
These cookies may help us understand how visitors interact with the website, which pages are viewed
and whether the site is working as intended. Where consent is required, these cookies will only be

4. Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the operation of the website. Without them, some parts of the website may not function correctly.
These cookies may be used for security, fraud prevention, page display, form submission, load-balancing, cookie preference storage and other basic technical purposes.
5. Cookies that require consent
Cookies that are not strictly necessary will only be set where you have provided consent, where such consent is required under applicable UK rules.
This may include analytics, performance, marketing or tracking cookies. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time where a cookie settings option is made available on the website.

In addition to cookies, the website may use local storage or session storage in your browser. These technologies store information locally on your device and may be used for technical settings, cookie preferences or temporary form states.
Session storage is usually cleared when you close your browser. Local storage may remain until it is deleted by the website or manually removed through your browser settings.
7. How long cookies last
The duration of cookies depends on their purpose. Some cookies are session cookies and are deleted when you close your browser. Others are persistent cookies and may remain on your device for a defined period.
Where possible, we keep cookie duration limited to what is necessary for the relevant purpose.
8. Managing cookies in your browser
You can usually delete, block or restrict cookies through your browser settings. The exact steps depend on the browser and device you use.

9. Changing your cookie choices
If the website provides a cookie banner or cookie settings area, you can use it to manage your choices. You can also delete cookies that have already been set through your browser settings.
Where consent-based cookies are used, withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Where third-party cookies are used, the relevant third party may process data according to its own privacy and cookie documentation. We recommend reviewing those policies where applicable.
