This Privacy Policy explains how Bristol Weekly LTD (“Bristol Weekly”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses and protects information when visitors use https://bristolweekly.co.uk/ and related pages or services that link to this policy (collectively, the “Website”).
By using the Website, visitors acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires consent, we request it before collecting or using information for the relevant purpose.
Information We Collect
Information Provided Voluntarily
Visitors may provide personal information when they contact us, submit feedback, report an error, make a privacy request or send a copyright or legal notice. This may include a name, email address, message content, relevant article URLs and any supporting information the visitor chooses to provide.
Information Collected Automatically
When a visitor uses the Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect technical and usage information, including an IP address, browser and device type, operating system, language, approximate location, referring pages, pages viewed, access times, interactions and cookie identifiers. The exact information depends on the visitor’s device, browser settings, cookie choices and the technologies active on the Website.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the Website. Google Analytics may collect page views, approximate location, browser and device information, referral sources and interactions with Website content. Google may receive the URL of the page visited and the visitor’s IP address, and may set or read cookies or similar technologies.
Google processes Analytics information according to its own terms and privacy practices. Visitors can learn more at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and https://policies.google.com/privacy. Visitors may also use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on a device. We may use necessary cookies to support core Website functions and, subject to applicable consent requirements, analytics cookies to measure traffic and improve the Website.
| Cookie | Typical purpose | Default duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes visitors for analytics measurement | 2 years |
| _ga_<container-id> | Maintains session information | 2 years |
Cookie names, purposes and durations may change if we modify our configuration or providers. Where required by law, non-essential analytics cookies will not be activated until a visitor gives consent. Visitors may withdraw or change consent using [COOKIE SETTINGS LINK OR BUTTON]. Browser settings may also allow visitors to block or delete cookies.
How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, secure and improve the Website.
- To understand traffic, readership trends and content performance.
- To diagnose errors and prevent fraud, spam, abuse or security incidents.
- To respond to questions, feedback, correction requests and legal requests.
- To protect our rights and the rights of readers and third parties.
- To comply with applicable law and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Legal Bases for Processing
Where the UK GDPR, EU GDPR or similar laws apply, we may rely on consent for non-essential cookies; legitimate interests in operating, securing, analysing and improving the Website; contractual necessity when needed to provide a requested service; or a legal obligation.
How We Share Information
We may share information with hosting, security, analytics, email and technical providers that support the Website; with Google for audience measurement; when reasonably necessary to comply with law, valid legal process or safety obligations; or in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of assets.
We do not sell personal information for money. Some privacy laws may define certain analytics disclosures as a sale, sharing or targeted advertising even when no money is exchanged. Visitors with applicable rights may contact us or use [COOKIE SETTINGS LINK OR BUTTON].
Third-Party Sources, Links and Embedded Content
The Website may link to news organisations, public agencies, social-media platforms, video services and other third parties. It may also display embedded third-party content. Those services may collect information directly and apply their own privacy policies and terms. Bristol Weekly does not control third-party privacy practices.
Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to requests, maintaining security records, complying with legal duties and resolving disputes. Analytics information is retained according to our Google Analytics settings and Google’s applicable policies.
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect information. No website, transmission method or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Data Transfers
Our service providers may process information outside a visitor’s country. Where required, we use or rely on legally recognised safeguards for international transfers.
Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on location and applicable law, visitors may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information; restrict or object to processing; withdraw consent; request data portability; opt out of certain sales, sharing or targeted advertising; and complain to a competent data-protection authority.
To make a request, email bristolweekly.co.uk@gmail.com with the subject “Privacy Request” and describe the request and relevant jurisdiction. We may need to verify identity and may deny or limit a request where permitted by law.

The Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may contact bristolweekly.co.uk@gmail.com.
