GHY International’s (“GHY”, “we”, “us”, “our”) website uses cookies, in combination with pixels, local storage objects, and similar data (collectively, “cookies” unless otherwise noted) to distinguish you from other users of the website. This helps us provide you with a good experience, improve our service, and to personalize ads and content to you while you use the website.

This cookie policy (“Cookie Policy”) provides you with information about the cookies we use and why we use them.

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, please contact us at care@ghy.com. For a more complete description and list of the cookies that we currently use on the website, please review our Cookie List. For more information about our privacy practices, please review our Privacy Policy.

Your Consent

You consent to placement of cookies on your browser by us and our third party service providers. Please read this Cookie Policy carefully for details about why we use cookies and the information they collect from and about you.

Withdraw Your Consent at Any Time

If you do not wish to accept cookies in connection with your use of the website, you will need to delete, and block or disable cookies via your browser settings; see below for more information on how to do this. Please note that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of the website, and may prevent you from being able to access certain features on the website.

What are Cookies?

A cookie is a small file, typically of letters and numbers, downloaded on to your computer when you access certain websites or services, including GHY’s website and digital properties. Cookies are then read by the originating website or service on each subsequent visit to optimize your experience on the site. The data contained within is also collected and stored for analysis.

Cookies do different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently and remembering your preferences, and generally improve your experience on the website. They can also help to ensure that any advertisements you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

A cookie itself does not necessarily contain or collect personal information, but when it is read by a server in conjunction with a web browser it can help a website deliver a more user-friendly service; for example, remembering previous purchases or account details.

Cookies are filed in the memory of your browser and each one typically contains:

• The name of the server the cookie was sent from;
• The lifetime of the cookie;
• A value – usually a randomly generated unique number.

The website server that sends the cookie uses this number to recognize you when you return to a site or browse from page to page. Only the server that sent a cookie can read, and therefore use, that cookie.

What Kind of Cookies Do We Use?

• First and third-party cookies: whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the domain placing the cookie.
• First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user at the time (e.g., cookies placed by our website domain).
• Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website, this would be a third-party cookie.

There are two types of cookies, “session” and “persistent”:

1. Session cookies allow websites to link your actions during a browser session. They may be used for a variety of purposes such as remembering what you have put in your shopping basket as you browse around a site. They can also be used for security when you are accessing internet payment systems or to facilitate use of webmail. These session cookies expire after a browser session and so are not stored for a longer term.
2. Persistent cookies are stored on your computer in between browser sessions and allow your preferences or actions across a site (or in some cases across different websites) to be remembered. Persistent cookies may be used for a variety of purposes including remembering your preferences and choices when using a site or to target advertising.
