Compliance & Data Protection
Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
1. Overview
Domain Compare (domaincompare.co.uk) is an independent UK domain price comparison platform. We are committed to safeguarding user privacy and being fully transparent about data handling practices under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).
2. Information We Collect
We do not require user account registration, passwords, or personal profiles. The data processed on our site falls into two categories:
- Aggregated Web Analytics: We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand aggregate traffic patterns, browser types, country of origin, and page interactions. This helps us optimize user experience and site speed.
- Voluntary Contact Information: If you contact us via email or our contact channels, we use the provided details solely to respond to your inquiry.
3. Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use performance and analytics cookies strictly to monitor aggregate site usage:
- Google Analytics Cookies (_ga, _ga_*): Used to distinguish users anonymously and measure session metrics. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using Google's opt-out browser add-on or via your browser's cookie management settings.
4. Third-Party Links & Affiliate Disclosure
Domain Compare provides outbound comparison links to third-party domain registrars (such as 123 Reg, GoDaddy, Namecheap, IONOS, and names.co.uk). When you click an external link to purchase a domain, you will be redirected to the registrar's website, which operates under its own distinct privacy policy and terms of service.
Some outbound links may include affiliate tracking parameters that allow registrars to attribute referrals to Domain Compare. This tracking does not share your personal financial or registration information with us.
5. Your Data Protection Rights
Under UK data protection law, you have statutory rights including the right to access, rectify, or request erasure of any personal data we hold about you (such as direct email correspondence).
