In short
We don't use analytics, advertising, tracking pixels, CAPTCHA or marketing trackers. Everything listed below is needed to deliver, secure or operate features you use, so we don't show a cookie banner. If that ever changes, we'll update this policy and ask for your choice before using anything non-essential.

Third-party services
Our fonts are served from School Nest itself, so ordinary visits don't contact Google or other font services. You only reach third-party services when you choose to: Google, if you select “Continue with Google”; and Stripe's secure pages, if a school starts checkout or manages billing. Those services use their own cookies under their own policies.
Controlling cookies
You can clear or block cookies and storage in your browser settings. Blocking the items above may stop parts of the site, such as sign-in or Compare, from working.
