local council to obtain your person ID.
Issues:
Reference Blocking
Some users have experienced problems with taking the
training or reporting their completion due to firewall/security
software issues. Basically, they (or their ISP) are
using software that blocks the referring address. This
is not an actual security issue (one cannot use this
information to do any harm to a user), though some users
feel it is a matter of privacy and wish to prevent sites
from knowing where they came from.
However, preventing the YPT site from knowing where
a user comes from makes it impossible to determine which
council a user should be reported to. Users who enter
without a referring address will receive an "Error
Type 3" screen.
We have not yet found a solution that will enable users
who encounter this problem to report completion without
jeaopardizing system security.
If the user cannot disable the software, there is
no way for them to complete the training online.
