Privacy & cookies

PrivateSchoolCompare helps you find and compare UK private schools.

Your searches and shortlist

We use your search and filter choices to show matching schools. Postcode searches use Postcodes.io to find the location of the postcode you enter. Your shortlist is saved in a first-party cookie on your browser for up to one year. This cookie enables the shortlist feature.

Optional analytics

If you accept analytics, we use Google Analytics to understand visits, school profile views, searches, filters, shortlist actions and sponsor link clicks. Google may process information about your device, browser, approximate location and how you reached the site.

Our analytics events omit raw search text, full postcodes, URL query strings and fragments. We send search types, result counts, school IDs and selected filter options. Analytics cookies can last up to two years.

We load Google Analytics after you accept analytics. You can reject analytics or change your choice using Cookie preferences at the bottom of any page. Withdrawing consent removes Google Analytics cookies for this site and reloads the page to stop the analytics script.

Your consent choice is stored on your device for six months. Clearing your browser storage clears that preference.

Google explains its processing in its privacy policy and offers an Analytics opt-out tool.
