2. What Data We Collect

When you visit newsnest.co.uk, we may collect the following:

  • Personal Data: Information such as your IP address, browser type, device details, and approximate location (based on your IP address).
  • Usage Data: Information about your interactions with our site, including pages viewed, time spent, and clicks, gathered via cookies and analytics tools.
  • Social Media Data: If you engage with social media features (e.g., sharing or liking articles), those platforms may collect data about you (see Section 6).
  • Uploaded Content: If you submit content (e.g., comments, images, or files) via forms, we may store it.

We collect only what’s necessary to enhance your experience and deliver our services effectively.

3. How We Use Cookies

Cookies are small files placed on your device to improve site functionality and your experience. Here’s how we use them:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for basic site operations, like navigation or preferences. Consent isn’t needed for these under most laws.
  • Analytics Cookies: We use tools like Google Analytics to monitor site usage (e.g., page views, visitor stats), collecting data such as IP addresses and browsing patterns.
  • Social Media Cookies: Features like Twitter share buttons or Facebook widgets may set cookies to track your activity for their purposes.
  • Third-Party Cookies: Some cookies originate from embedded services (e.g., ads or videos).

International Laws on Cookies

  • UK GDPR and PECR: We inform you about cookies and seek opt-in consent for non-essential ones (e.g., analytics, social media) via our cookie banner.
  • EU GDPR and ePrivacy Directive: EEA users require consent for non-essential cookies, per GDPR and the upcoming ePrivacy Regulation.
  • US Laws: Under the CCPA/CPRA (California), we provide transparency and opt-out options, though we don’t sell data.
  • Other Regions: Laws like Canada’s PIPEDA or Australia’s Privacy Act may require consent and transparency.

A cookie banner appears on your first visit, allowing you to accept, reject, or adjust settings. Non-essential cookies require your consent.

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze site traffic, collecting:

  • IP Addresses: Anonymized for EU/EEA users in Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
  • User Behavior: Page views, session length, and device type.
  • Unique Identifiers: Cookies to recognize returning visitors.

International Laws on Google Analytics

  • UK GDPR and EU GDPR: We’ve configured GA4 to comply, disabling data sharing with Google products and signing a Data Processing Agreement. Data transfers to the US use the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF, July 2023), though legal scrutiny persists.
  • Schrems II (2020): Past concerns about US surveillance (e.g., FISA 702) remain relevant, despite the DPF.
  • Other Regions: We use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) for data transfers where no adequacy framework applies.

International Laws on Data Saving

  • UK GDPR and EU GDPR: Data is processed lawfully, stored securely, and deleted when no longer needed (see Section 9 for your rights).
  • US CCPA/CPRA: California users can request deletion; we don’t sell data.
  • Global Standards: Laws like Brazil’s LGPD or Canada’s PIPEDA enforce similar rules.

Our servers are in [insert location, e.g., the UK]. International transfers comply with the DPF or SCCs.

  • Set cookies if you’re logged in or engage with them.
