Privacy Policy
Last updated: 16 September 2026
Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how PostcodeScout ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you visit our website.
Information We Collect
We do not require user accounts or registration, and we do not collect contact form submissions. With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how the website is used, as described below.
Currently, the website:
- Does not require user accounts
- Does not provide user registration
- Does not collect contact form submissions
- Uses Google Analytics, only with your consent (see below)
- Does not use advertising or advertising cookies
Hosting and Technical Logs
Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically generate technical logs when you access the site. These logs may include:
- IP address
- Browser type
- Device information
- Date and time of requests
- Requested pages
These logs are used for security, performance monitoring, and operation of the website.
Analytics
With your consent, we use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are viewed and how many people visit. Google Analytics:
- Sets cookies on your device to distinguish you from other visitors
- Processes data such as page URLs, referrer, approximate location (derived from IP address), device/browser type, and how you interact with the site
- Is provided by Google Ireland Limited, which may transfer data to Google LLC in the United States for processing
We only load Google Analytics after you accept analytics cookies via the cookie banner shown on your first visit. If you reject or do not respond, Google Analytics is not loaded and no analytics cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your browser's cookies for this site, which will show the banner again.
Our legal basis for this processing is your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time as described above. Google acts as an independent controller for the data it processes through Google Analytics; see Google's Privacy Policy for details on how Google handles this data.
Cookies
We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking. The only cookies used on this site are those set by Google Analytics, and only after you consent as described above.
Third-Party Services
We use Google Analytics, provided by Google, as described above. We do not otherwise use third-party advertising or user-tracking services.
Data Security
Although we do not intentionally collect data, we take reasonable steps to keep the website secure and available.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page.
