Deep Teaching sets only cookies that are strictly necessary to provide what you ask for. Because of that the law does not require us to ask for your consent, and we do not show a consent wall. We set no advertising, social-media or third-party analytics cookies.
| Name | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
at_session | Remembers your questionnaire answers between screens, before and after you create an account. | 30 days |
at_auth | Keeps you signed in. Holds a random token; not readable by scripts. | 30 days, or until you log out |
deep_token | Links your browser to the schools you save on the public school pages and the admissions calendar when you have no account. | 2 years |
at_child | If your account has more than one child, remembers which child's schools you are looking at. | 30 days |
dt_intake | Set only if a family-details form is sent through our older intake service; lets the same browser update that submission. | 90 days |
dt_admin | Set only for the site operator when signing in to the admin pages. | 8 hours |
old_… (for example old_deep_token) | Set only if you open the
archived copy of our previous site under /old. They do the same jobs as the cookies above
for that archive and are never read by the current site. | Up to 2 years |
Two small values are kept in your browser's local storage and never sent to us: a note that you
have dismissed the cookie message (dt_cookie_notice), and the schools you have picked to
compare (dt_compare, at most four). The archived site under /old also keeps a
child's date of birth there if you enter one on its compare page.
We count which questionnaire screens are viewed using our own first-party counter, tied to the
at_session identifier above. We also count page views without any cookie: no IP address
is stored, and visits are grouped by a code that changes every day, so it cannot follow you from one
day to the next. We keep these counts for 14 months. Nothing is shared with third parties.
Pages load fonts from Google Fonts and, on the map and chart pages, code from public script libraries (unpkg, jsDelivr) and map images from OpenStreetMap. These requests reveal your IP address to those providers, as any web request does; they do not set cookies on this site.
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block them, the questionnaire cannot keep your answers and you cannot stay signed in. More in our privacy notice.
