Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what data F1wow News ("we", "us") collects when you visit this website, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Data we collect

  • Analytics data — we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site (pages viewed, approximate location, device type). Analytics cookies are only set after you give consent via our cookie banner. You can decline and the site works fully without them.
  • Newsletter & contact data — if you subscribe to our newsletter or use the contact form, your email address and message are processed by Formspree on our behalf, solely to deliver the newsletter or respond to you. We never sell or share your email address.
  • Local preferences — your cookie-consent choice is stored in your browser's local storage so we don't ask again.

2. Cookies

We use one category of optional cookies: Google Analytics measurement cookies (_ga, _ga_*). These are set only after consent. Essential local storage (your consent choice) does not track you.

3. Third-party services

  • Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC) — site measurement, consent-gated
  • Formspree Inc. — form processing for newsletter and contact
  • Google Fonts — font delivery (your IP is sent to Google when fonts load)
  • Instagram embeds (Meta Platforms) — some articles embed Instagram posts; Meta may set cookies if you interact with an embed
  • Jolpica F1 API — race results and standings data; no personal data is sent

4. Your rights

Depending on where you live (e.g. under GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of your personal data. To exercise any right — including unsubscribing from the newsletter or withdrawing analytics consent — contact us. You can change your cookie choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser.

5. Data retention

Analytics data is retained per Google Analytics' standard retention settings (14 months). Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Contact messages are deleted once resolved.

6. Children

This site is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

7. Changes

We will update this policy as the site evolves (for example, if advertising is introduced) and revise the date at the top of this page.
