Newsquay brings together official sources of local information for Newquay residents and visitors in one convenient place. News, travel, sport, events, planning, jobs, and community — updated automatically from verified local sources.
Coverage spans the north Cornwall coast from Crantock and Holywell Bay in the south to Mawgan Porth and Bedruthan Steps in the north, with a focus on Newquay town and its immediate hinterland.
Newsquay is an independent community project. It is not affiliated with any political party, council, or commercial interest. All stories link directly to their original source — we do not publish original journalism.

What data we collect
Two kinds of data collection need your consent, and one cookieless tool doesn't:
Google Analytics 4 — if you accept the Analytics category in our cookie banner, Google Analytics collects anonymous data about how you use the site: which sections you visit, how long you spend, which device and browser you use, and your approximate geographic location (city level). This data is aggregated and cannot identify you personally. Google processes this data as a data processor on our behalf. The Google Analytics tag is delivered via Google Tag Manager, which sets no cookies of its own and collects no personal data.
Google Ads — if you accept the Advertising category, Google may use cookies to show you relevant advertisements. Google acts as an independent data controller for advertising personalisation.
Plausible Analytics — a privacy-first, cookieless tool that counts page visits in aggregate ("this many people read the travel page"). It sets no cookies, stores no personal information, and cannot identify or follow you, so it runs without needing consent. Data is hosted in the EU.
If you reject all cookies, no cookies are set and nothing that could identify you is collected — only the anonymous, aggregate page counts described above. The site functions fully without any cookies.
Cookies we use
We use no essential cookies. All cookies are optional and only set with your consent:
Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*, _gid, _gat) — set by Google Analytics. Expire after 2 years (_ga) or 24 hours (_gid).
Advertising cookies (_gcl_au, __gads) — set by Google Ads. Expire after 90 days.
Cookie consent cookie (CookieControl) — set by Civic Cookie Control to remember your preferences for 90 days. This is a functional cookie required to honour your choices.
Legal basis for processing
Under UK GDPR, we rely on consent (Article 6(1)(a)) as our legal basis for all data processing on this site. You can withdraw consent at any time by clicking the cookie settings button below.

Data retention
Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months (the minimum configurable period in GA4). We do not operate our own servers and store no personal data ourselves. The site is served as static pages by Cloudflare, which may retain transient request logs for security purposes.
International transfers
Google LLC is a US-based company. Data transferred to Google is protected by Google's Data Processing Terms and Standard Contractual Clauses approved under UK GDPR. Cloudflare may process data in the US under equivalent SCCs.
