Please read this cookie policy carefully as it contains important information on who we are and how we use cookies and similar browser storage technologies on our Services. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy which sets out who we are, how to contact us, what data is collected, how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information generally, as well as your rights in relation to your personal information and details of how to contact us and supervisory authorities if you have a complaint.
A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your device (e.g. your smartphone, tablet, or computer) when you use our Services. When we use cookies or local browser storage on our Services, you will always be informed by a notification banner within the Services.
Cookies and HTML5 local storage help us to recognise you and your device and allow us to store essential session information or your preferences (for more information, please see our Privacy Policy).
For example, we may store session identifiers, selected theme preferences, or temporary offline caseload data. This information helps us to provide secure authentication and offline resilience across the Services. Data collected for functional settings is kept aggregated or statistical, which means that we will not use it to profile you individually for marketing.
No Advertising or Tracking Cookies: MapMyCare operates strictly for therapeutic tracking and care management in children's homes. We do not use any third-party marketing, behavioral profiling, or advertising tracking cookies.
For further information on cookies generally, including how to control and manage them, visit the guidance on cookies published by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.
We will ask for your consent to place cookies or other similar technologies on your device, except where they are essential for us to provide you with a service that you have requested (e.g. to allow you to remain logged-in to the Services as you navigate within the Services and maintain offline operational resilience).
You can withdraw any consent to the use of optional functional preferences or manage any cookie preferences by using browser settings or clearing your local site data. It may be necessary to refresh or restart the Services for updated settings to take effect.
