Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This Privacy Policy explains how Coding at School ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects information when you visit codingatschool.com (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

Who we are

Coding at School is an educational resource website for teachers of Computer Science. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, you can contact us via our profile at @CompAtSch. (Site operators should replace this with a dedicated privacy contact email before going live.)

What information we collect

  • Analytics data — if you consent, Google Analytics 4 collects anonymised information such as pages visited, approximate location (country/region), device and browser type, and how you reached the Site.
  • Technical data — our hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages) may process your IP address and request metadata to deliver the Site securely and protect against abuse.
  • We do not run user accounts, collect payment details, or sell personal data.

Cookies and consent

We do not set any non-essential cookies until you give consent. When you first visit, a banner lets you Accept or Decline analytics cookies. We use Google Consent Mode, which keeps analytics storage disabled by default until you accept. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.

Legal basis for processing

Where we process analytics data, our legal basis is your consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time. Where we process technical data to keep the Site secure and available, our legal basis is our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)).
