About this policy
This cookie policy explains how Great Yarmouth First (“we”, “us”, “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on jonwedon.org.uk. It is written for visitors in the United Kingdom and should be read with our privacy policy
We use cookies in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), as overseen by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
Who we are
Great Yarmouth First is the organisation responsible for this website. You can contact us about cookies or privacy at info@greatyarmouthfirst.co.uk.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, to remember your preferences, and to understand how people use a site. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels where a service on this site needs them.
Cookies may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a set period, shown in the table below). They may be set by us (first-party) or by another organisation providing a service on our pages (third-party).
How we use cookies
We only use cookies where they fall into one of these groups:
- Strictly necessary — required for the site to work (for example security, log-in, shopping baskets, and remembering your cookie choices). These do not require your consent under PECR.
- Preferences — remember choices you make, such as a username on comments or how the dashboard is laid out. We ask for your consent before using these where they are not strictly necessary.
- Analytics — help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. These are not set unless you opt in.
- Marketing — used to measure advertising or to build a profile of your interests. These are not set unless you opt in.
When you first visit, a banner at the bottom of the screen lets you accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose settings for each group. Rejecting non-essential cookies is as easy as accepting them. You can change your mind at any time using “Cookie settings” in the banner control, or the button below.

Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are needed for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our tools. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
Preference cookies
These cookies remember choices you make and provide enhanced or more personal features. They may be set by us or by services we add to our pages. If you do not allow them, some of those features may not work as intended.
Analytics cookies
These cookies help us count visits and traffic so we can measure and improve our site. They tell us which pages are most and least popular, and how visitors move around. All information these cookies collect is aggregated. If you do not allow them, we will not know when you have visited, and will not be able to monitor the site’s performance.
How to change your cookie settings
You can change or withdraw your consent on this website at any time:
- Use the Change cookie settings button above, or the cookie control at the bottom-right of any page.
- Choose “Reject non-essential cookies” to keep only cookies the site needs in order to work.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it. Strictly necessary cookies will continue to be used because the site cannot function without them.
