About this Cookie Notice

This Cookie Notice explains how the LLR Knowing Me profiling tool use cookies and similar technologies.

We aim to be clear about what technology is used, why it is needed and what choices you have.

If you have any questions about this notice, please contact: info@llrknowingme.org.uk

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information that a website may place on your computer, tablet, phone or other device when you visit or use a website.

Cookies can help websites to:

• work correctly;
• keep information secure;
• remember choices or settings;
• understand how a website is being used;
• improve how a service works.

Similar technologies, such as browser storage, may also be used to store or access information on your device.

2. How does LLR Knowing Me use cookies?

LLR Knowing Me only aims to use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the safe and effective operation of the profiling tool.

The website may use essential technologies to:

• support secure login for trained professionals;
• maintain a secure session while the tool is being used;
• protect the website and user accounts from security risks;
• remember essential settings required for the service to function;
• support the correct operation of the profiling tool.

Where a cookie or similar technology is essential for the profiling tool to work, it may be used without asking for consent.

3. Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are required for important functions of LLR Knowing Me.

For example, they may be needed to:

• enable secure login;
• recognise an authorised user while they move through the tool;
• maintain security;
• prevent misuse of the website; or
• remember information required to provide a service that you have requested.

These cookies cannot normally be switched off because the profiling tool may not work correctly without them.

4. Analytics cookies

LLR Knowing Me does not currently use analytics cookies to track how individual users use the website.

5. Advertising and marketing cookies

LLR Knowing Me does not use the information entered into the profiling tool for advertising or marketing purposes.

6. Information entered into the profiling tool

Cookies are separate from the information entered into the LLR Knowing Me profiling tool.

The LLR Knowing Me website does not store the information entered into the profiling tool in a separate database.

Information completed through the tool is contained within the unique URL link generated for the child or young person’s needs-led profile.

Access to the profile through the tool is restricted to authorised trained professionals with a valid login.

This Cookie Notice explains the technologies used on the user’s device and should be read alongside the LLR Knowing Me Privacy Notice, which explains more about how information relating to children and young people is handled.

7. Browser and local storage

Websites can use technologies other than traditional cookies to store information on a user’s device.

These may include:

• local storage;
• session storage;
• browser cache;
• authentication tokens; or
• other similar technologies.

Where these technologies are used, they will be treated in line with the same privacy principles as cookies.

8. Your cookie choices

Where LLR Knowing Me uses cookies or similar technologies that require consent, you should be able to choose whether to accept them.

You should be able to:

• accept optional cookies;
• reject optional cookies; and
• change your preferences later.

Rejecting optional cookies should not prevent you from accessing the main LLR Knowing Me service.

Strictly necessary cookies cannot normally be disabled through the website because they are required for the service to function securely.

You may also be able to manage cookies through your internet browser settings.

9. Changes to this Cookie Notice

We may update this Cookie Notice if:

• the technology used by LLR Knowing Me changes;
• new cookies or similar technologies are introduced;
• existing technologies are removed;
• relevant legal requirements or guidance change;
• the way the service operates changes.
