Cookie Policy

Aim Quality Care ("we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website.

This Cookie Policy explains:

• What cookies are;
• Which types of cookies we may use;
• Why we use them;
• How you can accept, reject or manage them.

For information about how we collect and use personal information, including information relating to children and young people, please read our Privacy Policy.

Aim Quality Care's legal company name is Aim Quality Care Limited. Our business address is First floor, 58A London Rd, Leicester, LE2 0QD and our email address is info@aimqualitycare.com.

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, phone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can help a website:

• Function correctly and securely;
• Remember choices and preferences;
• Understand how visitors use the website;
• Identify and resolve technical problems;
• Support content or services provided by third parties.

Cookies may be:

• Session cookies, which are normally deleted when you close your browser; or
• Persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

Cookies may be placed directly by Aim Quality Care or by third-party providers whose services are used on the website.

Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, scripts and local storage, may operate in comparable ways. References to "cookies" in this policy include these technologies where appropriate.

The website currently uses browser storage only to remember your cookie-consent choice. No analytics, advertising pixels or third-party embedded services are currently installed.

When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner where applicable.

This allows you to:

• Accept non-essential cookies;
• Reject non-essential cookies;
• Manage available cookie preferences;
• Access further information about the cookies and providers involved.

Non-essential cookies will not be placed before you provide the required consent. Rejecting non-essential cookies prevents them from loading. Strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies can operate without consent where legally permitted.

Continuing to browse the website without making a clear choice will not be treated as consent to non-essential cookies.

Your choices will be respected and recorded using strictly necessary browser storage.

Aim Quality Care provides services for children and young people. Although the website is primarily intended for placing authorities, professionals, parents, guardians and other authorised adults, children and young people may also visit it.

Cookie information and choices will therefore be presented in clear, accessible and age-appropriate language.

Aim Quality Care will not knowingly use cookies to:

• Profile children or young people for advertising;
• Track their activity across unrelated websites;
• Collect sensitive care, health or safeguarding information through advertising technologies;
• Target children or young people with behavioural advertising.

Non-essential cookies will remain switched off by default until valid consent or another applicable lawful permission has been obtained.

Cookies and analytics tools will not be used to record the contents of placement referrals, care enquiries, safeguarding reports or other sensitive form submissions.

Visitors should avoid submitting detailed medical, placement, care-plan, medication, risk or safeguarding information through general website forms.

Where detailed referral information is required, Aim Quality Care may arrange for it to be provided through a more appropriate and secure method.

You can manage available cookie preferences through the cookie consent banner. You can reset your recorded choice by deleting this website's browser storage, after which the banner will be shown again.

Changing your preferences will not affect the lawfulness of cookies used before consent was withdrawn.

You can also use your browser settings to:

• Block cookies;
• Delete existing cookies and browser storage;
• Receive a warning before cookies are placed;
• Restrict cookies from particular websites.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies or browser storage may prevent parts of the website from operating correctly.

Instructions for managing cookies and browser storage are normally available through your browser's help or privacy settings.

No analytics tools, website-performance tools, embedded content, maps, videos, social media content, CRM or form integrations, scheduling tools, advertising pixels or conversion-measurement technologies are currently installed.

Aim Quality Care may introduce one or more of these technologies in future. Where they require consent, they will not be activated until the visitor has provided the required consent.

If new cookies or technologies are introduced, this Cookie Policy and the cookie-preference information will be updated where necessary to explain the provider, purpose, category and duration.

Third-party providers are responsible for their own cookies and privacy practices. Aim Quality Care does not control cookies placed when you leave our website and visit an external website.

We may update this Cookie Policy when:

• Website features change;
• New cookies or technologies are introduced;
• Service providers change;
• Legal or regulatory requirements change.

The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.
