Privacy policy
Last updated: 24 March 2026
Dork Sports at dorksports.com (“we”, “us”) is published for readers in the United Kingdom. This policy explains how we process personal data when you use our website, including when third-party advertising partners such as Taboola deliver or measure recommendations.
Who we are
The data controller responsible for personal data collected through dorksports.com is Newsquest Media Group Limited (company registration number 01676637), registered in England and Wales. Registered office: Floor 1, Chartist Tower, Upper Dock Street, Newport, NP20 1DW, United Kingdom.

What data we collect
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, approximate location derived from IP, pages viewed, and timestamps.
- Cookies and similar technologies: as described in our Cookie policy.
- Communications: if you email us, we process the content of your message and your contact details to respond.
Why we use your data (lawful bases)
- Legitimate interests — to operate and secure the site, understand aggregate readership, and improve editorial layout (balanced against your rights).
- Consent — where required for non-essential cookies and for certain advertising or personalisation technologies. You may withdraw consent at any time via our cookie controls or browser settings.
- Legal obligation — where we must comply with law or regulatory requests.
Advertising and Taboola
We may allow third-party partners to show content recommendations or advertisements. Taboola, Inc. and its affiliates may process data to select and measure sponsored content. Processing can include cookies, pixels, and device identifiers. For details of Taboola’s practices and your choices, see Taboola’s privacy resources at taboola.com/privacy-policy and their consumer opt-out page linked from that policy.
We aim to present advertising in a transparent way. Sponsored or recommended items should be distinguishable from independent Dork Sports editorial articles. We do not sell your personal information in the sense of UK data protection law without an appropriate lawful basis and transparency.
Sharing data
We use service providers (for example hosting, analytics, and advertising technology) who process data on our instructions, and we may share data within the Newsquest group where necessary to operate dorksports.com. Some providers may be located outside the UK; where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
Retention
We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. Server logs and analytics aggregates are retained according to provider defaults unless we shorten them.
Your UK rights
Under UK GDPR you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to data portability where applicable. You may lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
Children
Our site is intended for adults and general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without parental authority. If you believe we have done so, please contact us.
Changes
We may update this policy; the “Last updated” date will change accordingly. Material changes may be highlighted on the site.
