Who we are
F1RaceClock is an independent fan-made website that publishes Formula 1 race weekend schedules and countdowns. We are not affiliated with Formula 1, the FIA, Formula One Management, or any team or driver.
Information we collect
We do not require an account to use F1RaceClock and we do not ask for personal information to view race schedules. The site automatically collects limited technical information when you visit, which may include your IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, pages viewed, and your detected timezone (used to convert session times to your local time on-device).
If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to send, including your email address and the contents of your message.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar storage technologies for two purposes:
- Essential — required for the site to work correctly, such as remembering your cookie preferences and your selected session.
- Analytics & advertising — set only with your consent. These help us understand site usage and allow third-party advertising partners to show relevant ads.
You can change your choice at any time using the control in the site footer.
Analytics
We may use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Google Analytics may set cookies and process information including IP address (typically truncated), pages viewed, session duration, and device characteristics. This processing only takes place where you have given consent for analytics cookies.
You can learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and opt out of Google Analytics across sites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising
We display advertising provided by Adsterra, an ad network operated by Adsterra Network S.L. Adsterra and its partners may use cookies, pixels, and device identifiers to serve ads and to measure ad performance. This may include interest-based or behavioural advertising based on your browsing activity across sites. Advertising cookies are only set where you have given consent.
You can learn more about how Adsterra processes data in the Adsterra Privacy Policy. You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating vendors by visiting www.aboutads.info (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
Legal basis (EU/UK visitors)
For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we rely on your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)) for analytics and advertising cookies, and on our legitimate interest in operating and securing the site for essential cookies and basic server logs (Article 6(1)(f)).
US state privacy notices
If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, or another US state with comprehensive privacy laws, you have the right to access, delete, or correct certain information we hold about you and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can exercise these rights by adjusting your cookie preferences and by contacting us using the address below.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal information, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Data retention and security
We retain technical logs and analytics data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

F1RaceClock is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction) and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
