How to erase your online tracks

When you surf the Internet, your activities are recorded! So your attacker can trace all the sites you’ve visited - in other words, your history. It is possible to erase all traces of your visit to our site. Just follow the instructions below.

If you use Internet Explorer

Locate the “Tools” menu in the top bar and click on “Internet Options”;

A window will appear. Click on the “General” tab;

Click on the “Delete files” button in the “Temporary files” option;

Click on the “Delete History” button in the “History” section;

Click “OK”;

If you use the Safari browser

If you’re using a Mac and the Safari browser, the procedure is simple: just go to the menu bar under Safari and click on Empty cache. For Mozilla Firefox, just go to the Tools section of the main toolbar, click on Clear my tracks, then click on all the boxes and finally on Clear my tracks now.

If you use Netscape

Locate the “Edit” menu in your top menu and click on “Preferences”;

Click on “Navigator”;

Click on the “Delete History” button in the “History” section;

Click “OK”;

If you're worried about your safety, visit the Internet from a public place such as a public library or Internet café.

Secure session browsing

In future, we recommend using private browsing. In this way, the history of pages consulted is not retained. If you close the window, private browsing stops. On the other hand, if you add pages to your Favorites or download documents, these are saved in the computer’s memory.

Starting a private browsing session differs from one browser to another.

Microsoft Internet Explorer

Click on the “Tools” button (nut icon, top right). A column appears.

Click on “Security” and select “InPrivate Browsing”.
