Required for core site behavior such as authentication, security, session continuity, and form protection.
Used for preferences such as saved schools, comparison lists, and interface state stored in your browser.
Used to understand traffic, popular pages, and performance so we can improve the directory. This includes measuring how pages are used, such as scrolling and clicks.
We use essential technologies to keep the site secure and usable. If you create an account, sign in, submit a form, save schools, or compare schools, the browser may store information needed to support those actions.
We may use analytics tools, including Google Analytics, to measure aggregate usage. Analytics data helps us understand which school pages, guides, and search flows are useful. We do not use analytics data to make admissions decisions or profile individual children.
We may also use Microsoft Clarity to understand how pages are used. Clarity records how visitors interact with the site — page views, clicks, scrolling, and mouse movement — and reconstructs those interactions as anonymised session playbacks and heatmaps. Text you type into forms is masked and is not captured in these recordings. Microsoft acts as a processor for this data; see the Microsoft Privacy Statement for how Microsoft handles it.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features, including sign-in, saved schools, and comparison lists, may not work correctly if browser storage is disabled.
Questions about cookies or tracking can be sent to [email protected]. You can also read our Privacy Policy for more detail on data collection and retention.
