The Quick Escape button is a design component that closes the web page a person is on and opens the Yukon.ca home page.
Why we have a design component for Quick Escapes
We have a design component for Quick Escapes to provide users with a way to quickly close a government web page. Webpage topics like sexualized violence, bullying or sexual wellbeing are sensistive in ature. The Quick Escape button provides people who use these pages to quickly close the website to maintain their privacy.
When to use a Quick Escape button
Use a Quick Escape button if the content on a webpage is considered sensitive and it could help people who visit these pages.
When not to use a Quick Escape button
Do not need to use a Quick Escape button if:
- there is no sensitive content on the webpage; and
- you haven't validated there is a user need.
How the Quick Escape button works
The Quick Escape button:
- takes users from the page they're on;
- opens the Yukon.ca home page; and
- disables the back button.
The Quick Escape button does not clear a person's browser cache or fully cover their browsing history. Not all browsers and devices work the same. There will be some variation in how the button functions from one browser to another and from one device to another.
Tips for additional web privacy
We recommend users leverage their browser's privacy or incognito mode when they access sensitive content. You can also clear your browser's cache and browsing history regularly. Most browsers will have a setting to clear the cache automatically when you close the browser.
Placement
The quick escape button automatically appears at the top of the page. You can see an example of the quick exit button on the Sexualized Assault Response Team website.
Language and style
The text on the Quick Exit button is "Quick Exit."
The button uses the Primary button hex codes for each state.
