Leaving no trace of your visit to this page
If you are worried that someone may see you have visited this page, there are steps you can take to reduce the risk.
When you visit a website, your device may save:
- Your browsing history
- Temporary website data, such as cached files or cookies
You can delete this information from your browser. How you do this depends on the browser and device you are using, for example Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, or Firefox.
You can usually find options such as ‘History’, ‘Clear browsing data’, or ‘Privacy settings’ in your browser’s settings menu. Your browser’s help pages can guide you through the steps.
You can also use ‘private’ or ‘incognito’ browsing mode. This prevents your browser from saving details of the pages you visit on that device.
Deleting your browsing data can help, but it may not remove all traces. If you need to be completely certain, the safest option is to access the internet somewhere else, such as:
- a local library
- a friend’s home
- your workplace
