What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They help a site work properly and remember your choices. Website owners also use them to see how people use the site.

How We Use Cookies

Great Yarmouth Plumbers (https://greatyarmouthplumbers.co.uk) uses very few cookies. Some are needed for the site to work, while others measure how many people visit. We only set the measuring cookies if you say yes.

Your Choice on the Cookie Banner

When you first visit our site, a cookie banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. You can press Accept or Reject. If you press Reject, we set no analytics cookies and send no analytics data to Google.

We store your choice in your browser's local storage under the key ml_consent_v1. This is not a cookie, but it lets us remember your answer on later visits. As a result, the banner does not keep asking you the same question.

Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages visitors read and how they found us. Google Analytics only loads after you press Accept. Before that, and if you press Reject, it does not run and sets nothing on your device.

Once you accept, Google Analytics sets cookies such as _ga and _ga_<id>, where the second name ends with an identifier for our measurement property. The _ga cookie tells returning visitors apart. The _ga_<id> cookie keeps track of your current session. For how long Google keeps these cookies, see Google's own documentation.

Strictly Necessary Storage

Storing your cookie choice in local storage is the only thing the site does on its own. We do not need your consent for it, since it simply records your answer. We do not use advertising cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

Google is the only third party that sets cookies through our site, and only after you accept. If we add other services later, such as embedded maps, they may set their own cookies. We will update this page if that happens, because those services have their own policies.

Changing Your Mind

You can change your choice at any time. Use the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page to open the banner again. You can then accept or reject analytics cookies, and we will respect the new choice straight away.

You can also control cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers let you see stored cookies, delete them, or block them. Blocking all cookies may stop some websites from working, however, so check the effect before you do it.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The latest version always appears on this page. The date at the top shows when we last changed it.
