Cookie Manager Settings

+ +

This section describes how to set your Cookies preferences and control other + aspects of cookie handling.

+ +

For step-by-step descriptions of various tasks related to cookies, see + Using the Cookie Manager.

+ +
In this section: + +
+ +

Privacy & Security Preferences - Cookies

+ +

This section describes how to use the Cookies preferences panel to change + which cookies &brandShortName; will accept from and return to websites. If + you're not already viewing it, follow these steps:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    2. +
  2. Under the Privacy & Security category, click Cookies. (If no + subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand + the list.)
    3. +
+ +

Cookies help websites keep track of information for you, such as the + contents of your on-line shopping cart or which cities' weather you want + to know about. For a brief overview, see + What Are + Cookies and How Do They Work?

+ +

You can select one of these options:

+ + + +

Note: Blocking cookies does not remove old cookies. By + blocking cookies you only block websites from setting new cookies, and old + cookies will still be sent to websites. To completely block a website from + receiving old cookies, you need to remove its + cookies. +

+ +

Note: Per-website cookie permission + supersedes default cookie setting. For example, if you allow a website to set + cookies, the website can set cookies even if you choose Block cookies. +

+ +

If you allow cookies or do not change the default setting, you can also + select the following preferences:

+ + + +

You can also get more information about your stored cookies:

+ + + +

Stored Cookies

+ +

This section describes how to use the Stored Cookies tab of the Cookie + Manager. If you're not already viewing it, follow these steps:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the Tools menu and choose Cookie Manager.
    2. +
  2. Choose Manage Stored Cookies from the submenu. The Cookie Manager window + opens with a list of all the cookies stored on your computer.
    3. +
+ +

The Stored Cookies tab lists all the cookies stored on your computer, the + websites they belong to, and their current status.

+ +

When you select a cookie in this list, the following information about that + cookie appears in the bottom portion of the tab:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
ItemExplanation
NameThe name assigned to the cookie by its originator.
InformationA string of characters containing the information a website tracks + for you. It might contain a user key or name by which you are + identified to the website, information about your interests, and so + forth.
Host or domainProvides the name of the cookie's host or domain. + +

A host cookie is sent back, during subsequent + visits, only to the server that + set it.

+ +

A domain cookie is sent back to any website + that's in the same domain as the website that set it. A + website's domain is the part of its URL that contains the name of + an organization, business, or school—such as netscape.com or + washington.org.

+
PathThe file pathway. This is provided only if the cookie should be sent + back to all URLs that are on that path or lower. For example, + http://a.b/x/y/z.html means that the cookie can also be set + for path x/.
Send ForWhen this field is For encrypted connections only it means + that the browser checks the connection whenever the server asks for a + cookie and will not send it unless the connection is encrypted + (HTTPS).
ExpiresThe date and time at which the cookie will be deactivated. The + browser regularly removes expired cookies from your computer.
+ +

To remove cookies, click one of these buttons:

+ + + +

Select this checkbox to prevent the cookies you remove from being added back + into the list later:

+ + + +

Even if you remove cookies now, you will reacquire those same cookies the + next time you return to the website. To prevent that from happening, select + this checkbox. When this checkbox is selected, websites for the cookies that + you are removing are added to the list of websites whose cookies will + automatically be rejected.

+ +

You must click Close for your changes to take effect.

+ + + +

This section describes how to use the Cookie Websites tab of the Cookie + Manager. If you're not already viewing it, follow these steps:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the Tools menu and choose Cookie Manager.
    2. +
  2. Choose Manage Stored Cookies from the submenu. The Cookie Manager window + opens with a list of all the cookies stored on your computer.
    3. +
  3. Click the Cookie Websites tab.
    4. +
+ +

The Cookie Websites tab of the Cookie Manager lists the websites for which + your decisions have been remembered, and what your decisions were. It also + allows you to add and remove websites from the list.

+ + + +

To add cookies websites manually:

+ + + + + +

To remove a cookie website:

+ + + +

Once you've removed a website from this list, Cookie Manager remembers + nothing about it. If the Ask for each cookie option is selected in + the Cookies preferences panel, you will be warned when any website not in this + list requests permission to set a cookie.

+ +

Using the Password Manager

+ +

Many websites require you to type a user name and password before you can + enter the website. For instance, personalized pages and websites containing + your financial information usually require you to log in.

+ +

The user name and password you use at a particular website can be read by the + site's administrator. Potentially, that person could then attempt to log + into other websites where you may have used the same user name and password. + If this concerns you, you may wish to use a different password at every + website with which you register.

+ +

Password Manager can help you remember some or all of your names and + passwords by storing them on your computer's hard disk, and entering + them for you automatically when you visit such websites.

+ +
In this section: + +
+ +

Using + Password Manager to Remember User Names and Passwords

+ +

When Password Manager is active (as it is by default), it gives you an + opportunity to save user names and passwords on your hard drive that you + enter while using the Internet.

+ +

For example, after you log onto a website from a page that requests a user + name and password, a dialog box appears asking, Do you want Password + Manager to remember this logon? When you see this dialog box, you can + click one of the following buttons:

+ + + +

Similarly, when you log onto an email account or an FTP site, or perform any + other action that requires the browser itself to display a special dialog box + for your login information, you can select this option in the dialog box:

+ + + +

The next time you check your email or perform other tasks that require a + password only, the password will be submitted directly without any further + action on your part. For tasks that require you to enter both a user name and + password, you need to click a Login button or equivalent after Password + Manager fills in the information.

+ +

Password Manager saves your user names and passwords on your own computer in + a file that's difficult, but not impossible, for an intruder to read. + See Encrypting Stored + Sensitive Information for information on protecting your stored user + names and passwords with encryption technology.

+ +

If the Password Manager dialog box described above does not appear when you + click Submit after typing your user name and password, Password Manager may + be turned off or the website may disallow its use.

+ +

To check whether Password Manager is currently active, see + Turning Password Manager On + and Off.

+ +

[Return to beginning of + section]

+ +

Entering User Names + and Passwords Automatically

+ +

There are two different ways that Password Manager can fill in user names + and passwords on your behalf:

+ + + +

[Return to beginning of + section]

+ +

Turning Password Manager On and + Off

+ +

Password Manager is on by default. To turn it off:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    2. +
  2. Under the Privacy & Security category, click Passwords. (If no + subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand + the list.)
    3. +
  3. In the Password Manager section, deselect Remember passwords + to turn Password Manager off.
    4. +
+ +

To turn Password Manager on, follow steps 1 and 2 above, but select the + checkbox in step 3 rather than deselecting it.

Clearing Private Data

+ +

While browsing the web, various items of potentially private information + may be gathered and stored by &brandShortName;. This section describes the + types of such private data and options to remove them either manually by + request or automatically when shutting down &brandShortName;.

+ +
In this section: + +
+ +

Types of Private Data

+ +

Several types of information are gathered and kept by &brandShortName; while + you are browsing websites. Some of these data are necessary for those sites to + function properly or more efficiently, others are for your convenience.

+ +

Privacy implications vary from type to type. For example, browsing history + and cache contents provide a snapshot of your recent browsing activity which + is local to your computer; cookies or offline web content may be used by a + website to track a user directly across visits (e.g., for statistical + purposes or for targeted advertisements).

+ +

In private browsing mode, no + private data will be retained beyond the duration of the private session.

+ +

The following private information may be stored locally by + &brandShortName;:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
TypeExplanation
Browsing HistoryIf enabled in the + History preferences, + a history of any website pages you have visited is kept and + may be suggested to complete website addresses in the location bar.
Location Bar HistoryThis is a history of web addresses which were entered + manually or copy-pasted into the location bar of the browser. This + list is available in the location bar menu.
Download HistoryDepending on the options selected in the + Downloads + preferences, a history of files downloaded from + websites is maintained in the Download Manager.
Saved Form and Search HistoryIf enabled in the + History preferences, + text entered into elements of forms (e.g., user names, but not + passwords) will be stored for the specified number of days; matches are + suggested in a list when you revisit that page. If you put the search + box onto your toolbar, the history of search terms will be + stored as well.
CacheThe cache is a short-term store for web pages and other + data (like e-mail attachments for IMAP accounts or remote images in + messages) to avoid having these items being requested again from the + server if they were just recently accessed. The cache on your disk + may contain data up to the limit specified in the + Cache preferences.
CookiesCookies are small pieces of information that websites use to + keep track of users and sessions, or to store website preferences. Use + the Cookies preferences to + specify to what extent cookies are permitted and for how long they are + kept.
Offline Website DataWebsites may be permitted to store their pages' contents and + related data locally so that they are available for use without + a network connection. See the + Offline Apps + preferences for options to control this behavior and to inspect + the contents of stored offline website data.
Saved PasswordsIf enabled in the + Passwords preferences, + &brandShortName; keeps entered passwords for later use, thus + you don't have to retype them every time you visit a website.
Authenticated SessionsWebsites may require authentication (username and password, + asked for with a pop-up dialog) and can keep track of such by + authenticated sessions. A site will ask you for your credentials + again when you proceed to the next page after this information is + cleared.

Privacy & Security Preferences + - Private Data

+ +

This section describes how to use the Private Data preferences panel to + determine when and which type of private data should be deleted. If + you're not already viewing it, follow these steps:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    2. +
  2. Under the Privacy & Security category, click Private Data. (If no + subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand + the list.)
    3. +
+ +

The Clear Private Data section provides the following + options:

+ + + + + +

Note: Also consider more selective alternatives to delete + private data. For example, the individual preference panels for each type may + provide additional options, and the Data Manager allows to clear private data + by type and the specific domain of a website. Rather than clearing all cookies + when shutting down &brandShortName;, you could specify to allow cookies for + sessions only, thus giving you the opportunity to establish exceptions for + selected websites for which you want to retain cookies.

+ +

[Return to beginning of section]

+ +

Clear Private Data Now

+ +

Private data can be cleared at any time, either from the + Private Data preferences by clicking + the Clear Now button, or by selecting Clear Private Data from the Tools + menu of a browser window. This initiates one of the following actions:

+ + + +

[Return to beginning of section]

+ +

Browsing in a Private Window

+ +

There may be occasions where you don't want &brandShortName; to keep + track of your browsing activities. For example, when someone else quickly + wants to use your computer and you don't want your current browsing + context disturbed; or, for confidential tasks such as online banking.

+ +

Opening a private window starts a + private browsing session + in which no private data on the sites + and pages you visit are made available beyond the scope and duration of that + session. Each subsequently opened private window becomes part of the same + private session. It ends when the last private window is closed.

+ +

Private windows are not entirely isolated from non-private windows; private + browsing just implies that &brandShortName; will not keep any local record + of your activities in such a window. Some private data may be shared between + private but not non-private windows and vice versa, others accessed in a + read-only mode from a private window.

+ +

Note that Add-ons like plugins + and extensions may not be subjected to these policies and may change their + settings or modify their locally kept data even in a private window.

+ +
In this section: + +
+ +

Opening a Private Window

+ +

A browser window can be either in regular (non-private) or in private + browsing mode. It is not possible to switch a non-private browser window + into private mode, but you can open a new private window in two ways:

+ + + +

Any number of private and non-private windows can be open at the same time, + but be aware in this case for which windows history information is kept.

+ +

[Return to beginning of + section]

+ +

Behavior of a Private Window

+ +

A private window behaves differently than a non-private window in the way + it handles private data (see Types of + Private Data for detailed information of the individual categories). + Specifically, after closing a private session when closing the last private + window, no information related to that session will be retained in + &brandShortName;. Private data gathered in one private session won't + be available to any future private session either.

+ +

Recognizing a Private Window

+ +

To determine whether or not a window is in private browsing mode, have a + look at its title bar. Private windows show + - &brandShortName; Private Browsing + rather than just - &brandShortName; + at the end of the window's title.

Leaving the Private Browsing + Mode

+ +

There is no special function or command to leave the private mode, + and it is not possible to continue working in non-private mode with + a private window.

+ +

To end a private browsing session, just close all private windows. + There will be no record on &brandShortName;'s side on any browsing + activities performed in any of the associated private windows.

+ +

[Return to beginning of + section]

+ +

Encrypting Stored Sensitive + Information

+ +

If you use Password Manager to save passwords, then this sensitive + information is stored on your computer in a file that's difficult, but + not impossible, for an intruder to read.

+ +

For example, if your computer is in an area where unauthorized people have + access to it, it's possible for a determined person to read the file + containing your sensitive information.

+ +

For a greater degree of security, you may want to protect the file with + encryption. Encryption makes it much harder for an unauthorized person to + view your stored sensitive information.

+ +

Your decision about whether to use encryption for stored sensitive data is a + tradeoff between improved security and convenience.

+ +

If you use encryption, you will need to enter a master password + periodically, which can be inconvenient. If you don't, it may be easier + for a stranger who has access to your computer to steal your passwords.

+ +
In this section: + +
+ +

Setting a Master Password

+ +

To enable encryption of passwords you need to set a master password. If + your master password has not previously been set, you can set it at this + time:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    2. +
  2. Under the Privacy & Security category, click Master Passwords. (If no + subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand + the list.)
    3. +
  3. In the Change Master Password section, click Change Password to open the + Change Master Password dialog box.
    4. +
  4. Enter your desired master password, and retype it to confirm the + spelling.
    5. +
  5. Click OK.
    6. +
+ +

Make sure your new password is difficult to guess. For some suggestions on + how to improve password security, see + Choosing a Good + Password.

+ +

[Return to beginning of + section]

+ +

Changing Your Master Password

+ +

To change your master password:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    2. +
  2. Under the Privacy & Security category, click Master Passwords. (If no + subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand + the list.)
    3. +
  3. In the Change Master Password section, click Change Password to open the + Change Master Password dialog box.
    4. +
  4. Enter your current master password.
    5. +
  5. Enter your new master password, and retype it to confirm the + spelling.
    6. +
  6. Click OK.
    7. +
+ +

Make sure your new password is difficult to guess. For some guidelines, see + Choosing a Good + Password.

+ +

[Return to beginning of + section]

+ +

Logging Out of Your Master + Password

+ +

Normally, you are asked for your master password once during each + &brandShortName; session during which you access any of your stored sensitive + information.

+ +

It's also possible to require that your master password be requested + each time it is needed, or after a certain amount of time has passed. For + details, see Master + Password Timeout.

+ +

You can log out of your master password so that it must be entered again + before any sensitive information can be stored or retrieved. This is useful + if you are going to leave your computer unattended for a period of time.

+ +

To log out of your master password:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the Tools menu and choose Password Manager.
    2. +
  2. Select Log Out from the submenu.
    3. +
+ +

[Return to beginning of + section]

+ +

What to Do If You Forget + Your Master Password

+ +

If you forget your master password, you won't be able to access any of + the stored password it protects. Your master password is your most important + password. Make sure you remember it or record it in a safe place.

+ +

As a last resort, it's possible to reset your master password if you + are sure you can't remember it. However, resetting your master password + permanently erases all the web and email passwords, saved on your behalf by + Password Manager. You will also lose all your personal certificates + associated with the + Software Security + Device.

+ +

Before taking this drastic step, read + Reset Master + Password.

+ +

If you are sure you can't remember or retrieve your master password, + follow these instructions to reset it:

+ +
    +
  1. Open the &brandShortName; + Edit menu and choose Preferences.
    2. +
  2. Under the Privacy & Security category, click Master Passwords. (If no + subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security to expand + the list.)
    3. +
  3. Click Reset Master Password.
    4. +
  4. In the Reset Master Password dialog box, click Reset.

Managing Images

+ +

If you wish, you can choose not to download any images when you browse the + web. This greatly restricts what you can view online, but may be helpful if + you have a slow connection and wish to shorten the time it takes web pages to + load.

+ +

You can also control how frequently animated images repeat their animation, + or turn off animation completely.

+ +

The next section describes how to control these image settings. The default + settings allow all images to be accepted and allow them to repeat their + animation.
