COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION FROM MINORS: If your website is orientated towards, or includes content of interest to minors, include in your PPS a statement on your practices in relation to the collection of personally identifiable information from young persons. Generally, we recommend against the collection by websites of information from minors, particularly those under the age of 13, without prior consent from a person with parental responsibility for the individual, e.g. given by a parent or guardian through direct off-line contact.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION FROM INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE: If you make use of technical means such as cookies to collect information from individuals without their knowledge, you should include information on this in your PPS. Matters that should be covered include:

the circumstances under which such means are deployed;

what information is collected by these means, in particular whether any personally identifiable information is collected;

what the information is used for and any disclosure of the information to other parties.

You should also say whether your website allows access by users who do not accept cookies, and if it does, as we recommend it should, what loss of functionality (if any) results from not accepting cookies.
