These may include:

  • Essential and security technologies;
  • Functional and preference technologies;
  • Analytics technologies;
  • Advertising and marketing technologies; and
  • Embedded-content and social-media technologies.

The website may use services associated with WordPress, Elementor, Google Analytics, Google advertising services, YouTube, Google Maps, Google reCAPTCHA, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Wordfence and Complianz.

Visitors may review or change their choices through the Manage Consent control available on the website.

Where enabled, Grandison also recognizes legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control, as requests to opt out of applicable sale or sharing associated with that browser or device.

The current inventory of cookies, services, purposes and expiration periods is available through Grandison’s applicable regional Cookie Policies.

6. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

Grandison does not sell personal information to third parties in exchange for money.

Grandison does, however, use analytics, advertising, social-media and embedded-content technologies. Disclosure of online identifiers, website activity or related information through some of these services may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising under applicable United States privacy laws.

Where applicable, individuals may opt out through:

  • The Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information or Opt-Out Preferences page;
  • The website’s Manage Consent control;
  • A recognized browser-based opt-out preference signal; or
  • The contact methods provided in this Privacy Policy.

Grandison will not ask an individual to opt back into sale or sharing before the period permitted by applicable law.
