This policy explains how The Griffin uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and how you can control your choices.
Cookies are small pieces of information that websites can store on your device when you visit them.
They can help a website work properly, remember choices you make, understand how visitors use different pages and provide certain additional features.
Similar technologies may also be used for comparable purposes. In this policy, we use the word "cookies" to cover cookies and similar storage or access technologies where appropriate.
Depending on the services and features in use on our website, cookies may help us:
These cookies are necessary for the website or a service you have requested to function properly. They may support security, navigation, cookie preferences or other essential website features.
These may allow the website to remember choices or provide additional functionality designed to improve your experience.
These may help us understand how people use the website, such as which pages are visited and how visitors move around the site.
Where used, these may help us measure advertising, understand the effectiveness of marketing or provide more relevant advertising.
Some cookies are necessary for our website or a feature you have requested to work.
These may include cookies used for website security, remembering your cookie choices, maintaining a session or enabling functionality specifically requested by you.
Where a cookie or similar technology is exempt from the consent requirement because it is strictly necessary, we may use it without asking for your consent.
Cookies that are not necessary for the website to provide the service you have requested will only be used where we have the appropriate permission or legal basis.
This can include analytics, advertising and certain functional or third-party cookies.
Where consent is required, these technologies should not be activated until you have made the relevant choice through our cookie controls.
When you first visit our website, you may be shown a cookie notice giving you choices about optional cookies.
Depending on the cookie controls available on the website, you may be able to:
Where cookie preferences are available on our website, you can return to those settings to change or withdraw your consent for optional cookies.
Withdrawing consent will not affect any processing that took place lawfully before your choice was changed.
We may use website analytics services to help us understand how visitors use The Griffin website.
This might include information such as pages viewed, approximate visit duration, device or browser information and how visitors reached or moved through the website.
Where analytics cookies or similar technologies require consent, they will only be used once that consent has been provided.
Our website may contain links to social media services or use features connected with platforms such as Facebook, Instagram or other third-party services.
Some marketing or social media technologies may be capable of recognising a browser or device, measuring interactions or helping businesses understand the effectiveness of advertising.
Where the use of these technologies requires consent, they will only be activated after the appropriate permission has been given.
Some parts of our website may use or link to services provided by other organisations.
These could include accommodation or table booking systems, maps, videos, social media features, analytics services or other embedded content.
A third-party service may use its own cookies or similar technologies and may process information under its own privacy and cookie policies.
We recommend reviewing the privacy information supplied by any external service you choose to use.
Where you follow a link from The Griffin website to an external accommodation, restaurant or other booking service, that service may set its own cookies.
Cookies used after you leave our website are generally controlled by the organisation operating the external service and its own policies will apply.
Most web browsers also provide controls that allow you to view, block or delete cookies.
Please be aware that blocking certain cookies may affect how some websites or features function.
Browser controls are separate from any cookie preferences offered directly through The Griffin website.
Where information collected through cookies or similar technologies identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you, it may also be personal information.
Information about how we use personal information, who we may share it with and your data protection rights can be found in our Privacy Policy.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, including when we change our website, introduce new services or technologies, or where legal requirements or guidance change.
The latest version will be published on this page and the date below will show when it was last updated.
