On occasions, we collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to analyse aggregate information, and to audit the use of our site.

By showing how and when visitors use our site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed and this information is most easily tracked with cookies. We use cookies to better understand and improve areas of the SEND Partnership Service's website that our users find valuable. While both of these activities depend on the use of a "cookie", visitors to the SEND Partnership Service's website always have the option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences.

In addition, we have implemented a Google Advertising feature 'Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting' . This enables Google Analytics to collect data via Google advertising cookies and anonymous identifiers, in addition to data collected through a standard Google Analytics implementation. This will help us to better understand our users and help us provide more relevant information to them. We will not facilitate the merging of personally-identifiable information with non-personally identifiable information collected through any Google advertising product or feature without prior consent from the site's users. You can opt-out of Google Analytics Advertising Features by using this tool: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
