The 1729 Maths School
The outlier: a Netlify static site with a genuinely commercial stack — HubSpot, Zoom, Barracuda-filtered Microsoft-plus-Google mail, and a strict p=reject DMARC.
Sponsor / owner: Independent — funded by Alex & Elena Gerko (XTX Markets); with Mill Hill Education Group. All values below are a point-in-time snapshot observed 24 July 2026 from public DNS, WHOIS/RDAP, HTTP response headers and published policies — how this was gathered.

- Zoom ZOOM_verify domain token
- Canva canva-site-verification
- Microsoft 365 mail + MS= token
- Google mail + site verification
- SendGrid transactional email (SPF)

Privacy & data processing
1729 publishes no privacy notice of its own — its footer links Mill Hill Education Group's group notice, which is overdue for review and never names 1729. Meanwhile the site runs the network's heaviest marketing stack: HubSpot forms, GA4, and Meta, Reddit and Google Ads pixels.

- Sanity headless CMS — backend project is shared with Mill Hill's own website

- Elfsight embedded third-party widget
Cookies & tracking
The footer's "Data Privacy Notice" is Mill Hill's group-wide notice (2023, next review May 2025 — overdue). It never mentions 1729, and names none of the trackers the site actually runs — which is the heaviest ad-tech footprint in the network.
