What we collect
Hospitality.degree is an editorial directory. We collect the minimum data needed to operate the site, understand aggregate usage, and — only if you use a lead form — pass an enquiry to a school.
- Analytics — anonymous, aggregated visit data (pages, referrer, device).
- Cookies — one small cookie stores your consent choice.
- Lead forms — the fields you type (name, email, program interest). Only sent when you submit.
Analytics providers
When enabled, we may use Google Analytics 4 and/or Plausible Analytics. These are configured only after you accept in the cookie banner; if you reject non-essential cookies, no analytics script loads.

hd-cookie-consent | Records your accept/reject choice | 12 months |

Legal basis
Where GDPR / UK GDPR applies, non-essential analytics run only on your consent. Lead forms are processed on the basis of the request you make when you submit them.

Lead-form data

Third parties
- Lovable Cloud (Supabase) — database and authentication hosting.
- Google & Bing — search-engine verification tokens only.
- Selected schools — recipients of lead-form enquiries you send.
