According to this link, you are probably 1st cousins, once removed. You have to go back to the mutual ancestor, in this case your grt grandmother and their grandmother....hence the once removed bit because you are a younger generation.

They would be your parent's cousins, so I agree they are your cousins once removed ie. one generation away from a direct cousin.
