For more information on this topic, see + <a href="privacy_help.xhtml#why_and_how_are_websites_tracking_me">Why and How + Are Websites Tracking Me?</a> The <a href="glossary.xhtml#do_not_track">Do + Not Track</a> technology allows you to tell a website whether or not you + agree to tracking. The following options are available in this section:</p> + +<ul> + <li><strong>Tell websites about my tracking preference</strong>: Check this + to instruct &brandShortName; to inform every website you explicitly visit + (along with any providers of third-party content embedded in its pages) + whether or not you want your browsing behavior being tracked: + <ul> + <li><strong>I do not want to be tracked</strong>: Select this option + to send a Do Not Track request to each website visited.</li> + <li><strong>I consent to being tracked</strong>: Select this option + to explicitly tell each website visited that you agree with your + browsing behavior being tracked.</li> + </ul> + </li> +</ul> + +<p><strong>Notes</strong>:</p> + +<ul> + <li>Honoring a Do Not Track request is voluntary, thus individual websites + are <em>not required</em> to obey it. Websites and services that follow + the policy should stop gathering and using information about your web + browsing pattern for all activity for which Do Not Track is selected.</li> + <li>Requesting Do Not Track from a website should not affect your ability + to use the website properly (e.g., when using a + <a href="glossary.xhtml#web_application">web application</a> or when + putting items into a cart while shopping).</li> + <li>Note that Do Not Track does not <em>prevent</em> advertisements from + being presented to you while browsing. Since the website is not allowed to + gather and utilize information about you, the content of the advertisements + will be less specific if you have the Do Not Track option selected.</li> +</ul> + +<h3 id="safe_browsing">Safe Browsing</h3> + +<p>Some websites contain potentially dangerous content and may have been + reported as malicious. The preferences located in the lower section of the + <a href="#privacy_and_security">Privacy & Security panel</a> allow you + to select which types of reported websites will be blocked. If enabled, + &brandShortName; compares each website's address you are about to visit + against regularly updated lists. A warning is issued prior to actually + loading a reported website, thus giving you the opportunity to cancel the + loading process. The following options are available in this section:</p> + +<ul> + <li><strong>Block reported attack sites</strong>: Check this if you want + &brandShortName; to warn you if the website you are about to visit has + been reported as a site that is trying to infect your computer with + malicious software. Such <a href="glossary.xhtml#malware">malware</a> may + interfere with your computer's functions or steal your personal + information. It is also frequently used to send spam email or to spread + more malware.</li> + <li><strong>Block reported web forgeries</strong>: Check this if you want + &brandShortName; to warn you if the website you are about to visit has + been reported as a site that pretends to be a legitimate website of some + well-known organization or service. Websites like this are frequently set + up to mislead you in providing username and password or other sensitive + personal information (commonly known as + <a href="glossary.xhtml#phishing">phishing</a>).</li> +</ul> + +<p>When you are trying to visit a website that has been reported as malicious + (and the feature is enabled), you will see one of the following warnings:</p> + +<ul> + <li><strong>Reported Attack Page!</strong> This website has been reported + as a website trying to infect your computer with malware.</li> + <li><strong>Reported Web Forgery!</strong> This website has been reported + as a website trying to steal your personal information.</li> +</ul> + +<p>No harm has been done at this point. Select one of the following options:</p> + +<ul> + <li><strong>Get me out of here!</strong> Do <em>not</em> load this website. + Instead, go to &brandShortName;'s default start page.</li> + <li><strong>Why was this page blocked?</strong> Opens a web page showing you + the information reported on this specific website (this is an external + page located with the provider of this service). If no such report data is + available, a page with general information is shown.</li> + <li><strong>Ignore this warning</strong>: Proceed with loading the page. Only + use this when you are <em>certain</em> that the selected page is authentic + and safe to visit. At the top of the page, a notification bar will appear, + giving you an option to report errors to the provider of this service: + <ul> + <li><strong>This isn't an attack site</strong> or <strong>This + isn't a web forgery</strong>: Click this button to open a new tab + allowing you to report false warnings (this is an external page).</li> + </ul> + </li> +</ul> + +<p><strong>Important</strong>: The Safe Browsing feature is switched on by + default. It is <em>not</em> recommended to disable either function as this + may result in you visiting unsafe sites.</p> + +<p><strong>Note</strong>: If no warning is shown for a specific website, it + does not <em>guarantee</em> that this site is trustworthy; it just means + that it has not been reported. Attack and phishing websites may <em>look</em> + safe but are secretly trying to attack you or to steal personal information. + The website's owner or provider may not be aware that the site has been + compromised.</p> + +<p>[<a href="#privsec_preferences">Return to beginning of section</a>]</p> + +</body> +</html> |
