1. About this policy
This policy explains cookies and similar storage and access technologies used on greyring.com, including our vacancy pages, enquiry forms and CV submission facilities. It should be read with our
Privacy Policy,
which explains how we handle personal information more generally.
The website is operated by GREY RING LTD., trading as Grey Ring, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 12855748. Our registered office is 128 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom. For questions about cookies or privacy, email
contact@greyring.com or call +44 (0)20 8178 9660.
2. What cookies and similar technologies do
A cookie is a small file stored by your browser that a website can read on a later request. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels and scripts that store or access information on your device. We use “cookies” as a convenient general term in this policy, but the declaration below distinguishes the technologies actually used.
First-party storage is associated with our website; third-party storage is associated with an external provider. Session storage usually lasts for the browsing session, although browser restoration features can affect this. Persistent storage can remain after you close the browser until it expires, is removed or is cleared by your browser. Some local-storage entries have no built-in expiry; their retention is explained in the declaration.
These technologies can involve information such as a preference, an identifier, browser or device details and interactions with a feature. Information can be personal data even if it does not include your name.
3. Why we use them
Necessary functions
We use necessary storage to remember cookie choices and support essential website functions. A technology is treated as strictly necessary only where its purpose is essential to provide a service you request, or is a necessary and proportionate means of meeting an applicable legal requirement. Being useful to Grey Ring does not, by itself, make it necessary. Necessary storage is not used as a route to unrelated advertising or profiling.
Optional functions and measurement
Optional functional storage can support conveniences such as remembering recently viewed vacancies. Under our consent-based approach, optional functionality, analytics, performance measurement and advertising technologies are enabled only after you choose the relevant purpose. The declaration identifies which services are actually used and explains their purposes; a category label alone does not mean that a service is active.
We do not treat scrolling, continued browsing, closing a notice, submitting a CV or accepting the
Website Terms as consent to optional storage. Cookie consent is separate from consent to email job alerts or other direct marketing.
4. Cookie and storage declaration
The declaration below forms part of this policy. It identifies each technology in use, its provider and domain, its purpose, its storage type, its duration and whether it is necessary or subject to a choice. The same information is available through “Consent Preferences”.
Where an identifier varies, the declaration explains the group it belongs to.
What are cookies?
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use (i.e., the information we collect using cookies and how that information is used), and how to manage your cookie settings.
Cookies are small text files used to store small pieces of information. They are stored on your device when a website loads in your browser. These cookies help ensure that the website functions properly, enhance security, provide a better user experience, and analyse performance to identify what works and where improvements are needed.
How do we use cookies?
Like most online services, our website uses both first-party and third-party cookies for various purposes. First-party cookies are primarily necessary for the website to function properly and do not collect any personally identifiable data.
The third-party cookies used on our website primarily help us understand how the website performs, track how you interact with it, keep our services secure, deliver relevant advertisements, and enhance your overall user experience while improving the speed of your future interactions with our website.

Manage cookie preferences
Consent Preferences You can modify your cookie settings anytime by clicking the ‘Consent Preferences’ button above. This will allow you to revisit the cookie consent banner and update your preferences or withdraw your consent immediately.
Additionally, different browsers offer various methods to block and delete cookies used by websites. You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Below are links to support documents on how to manage and delete cookies in major web browsers.

A cookie’s lifetime describes storage on your device. It does not necessarily describe how long a provider keeps personal information already collected. Our
Privacy Policy and the relevant provider’s linked privacy information explain that separate processing.
5. Making and changing your choices
- Accept All: allows the optional purposes described in the consent panel, in addition to necessary storage.
- Reject All: declines optional purposes. Necessary storage remains available, including storage that remembers your decision.
- Customise: lets you inspect the purposes and providers, choose the optional categories you want, and select “Save My Preferences”. Optional choices are off unless you select them.
You can reopen the settings using the “Consent Preferences” control and withdraw consent as easily as you gave it. When you withdraw, we stop the relevant optional storage or access and disable the associated technologies. We remove optional cookies where we control them and take the steps required with any provider relying on that consent. Some third-party storage may also need to be removed through your browser or the provider’s controls.
Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it. It does not automatically erase all information already collected; your rights concerning that information are explained in our
Privacy Policy.
Rejecting optional cookies does not prevent you from reading vacancies, accessing these policies or contacting Grey Ring. Some optional conveniences or embedded content may be unavailable until you enable them. If a form or feature is inaccessible, contact us by email or telephone for another way to proceed.
6. External providers and embedded content
We use CookieYes to present cookie choices and manage the associated preferences. Its consent service may process information needed to deliver the panel and record the choice, such as an identifier, selection, date and browser or technical information. See
CookieYes privacy information for details of its service; Grey Ring remains responsible for the choices and technologies used on this website.
Where a page uses an external feature, such as a security check, map, video or review widget, the declaration and information beside the feature identify the provider and purpose. Loading a feature may disclose device, connection or interaction information to that provider. We request consent before any non-exempt storage or access, and provide the relevant privacy information. A security label alone does not authorise unrelated tracking.
Following an external link, including a link to a professional network or messaging service, takes you to a service with its own privacy and cookie controls. Choices made on greyring.com do not control storage on that external service.
7. Personal information and international processing
Where optional tracking involves personal information, we rely on the relevant consent under the approach in this policy. For necessary technical processing, we rely on our legitimate interests in providing a secure, usable website and respecting your choices, or a legal obligation where applicable. We assess the appropriate basis separately from whether device storage requires consent.
Providers may process information outside the UK. Our
Privacy Policy explains the applicable transfer safeguards and how to ask about the arrangements relevant to your information. Accepting cookies is not a blanket waiver of your data-protection rights or the safeguards required for international transfers.
8. Duration, browser settings and consent records
We remember your selection for the period shown in the declaration. We may ask again when that preference expires, when you clear site data or use another browser or device, or when a material change requires a fresh choice. We do not extend your permission to a new purpose simply by updating this policy.
We retain only the consent records needed to remember and demonstrate the relevant choices, deal with a request or meet an applicable legal requirement. A record retained for those purposes is not permission to continue optional tracking after consent has been withdrawn.
Your browser settings can let you view or delete cookies and site data, block particular providers or restrict storage. Check your browser’s help for the controls available. Deleting storage alone is not the same as withdrawing consent through our settings; use “Consent Preferences” to change your choice as well. Blocking all storage can affect necessary functions and cause the consent panel to reappear.
9. Questions, complaints and changes

We review this policy and the declaration when our website or use of technologies changes. We show the latest revision date and request fresh consent where required. Any revised wording must reflect the technologies actually used and your existing choices.
