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 following options are available in + this section:</p> + +<ul> + <li><strong>Tell websites that I do not want to be tracked</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) that you don't want your browsing behavior being tracked. + If checked, a <a href="glossary.xhtml#do_not_track">Do Not Track</a> + request is sent to each website visited.</li> + <li><strong>Prevent tracking activities by known sites</strong>: Check + this to instruct &brandShortName; to actively block connections to + websites which are known to provide tracking services. You may not see + any content coming from these sites in the web page visited.</li> + <li><strong>Warn me when known tracking activities were detected</strong>: + Check this to be presented with a notification bar when content was blocked + which can be used for tracking. This bar contains the following buttons: + <ul> + <li><strong>Keep Blocking</strong>: Dismiss the notification bar without + loading the content from an identified tracking site.</li> + <li><strong>Unblock</strong>: Allow such content to be loaded now and + automatically when this page is visited again in the future.</li> + <li><strong>Preferences</strong>: Open the Privacy & Security + preference panel.</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> + <li>Tracking prevention actively blocks content known to be used for tracking + in a web page. Thus, the page may appear incomplete. Such sites are + identified by periodically downloading a list of known tracking sites + which are to be blocked if enabled. Tracking sites <em>not</em> on that + list will still be connected to until they are listed.</li> + <li>The selection of <q>Unblock</q> in the notification bar for a specific + site can be revoked in the Permissions tab of the Data Manager. When in + a <a href="using_priv_help.xhtml#browsing_in_a_private_window">private + window</a>, these options aren't present in the notification bar.</li> +</ul> + +<h3 id="location_aware_browsing">Location Aware Browsing</h3> + +<p>Websites may want to obtain more detailed information about the user's + location, e.g., to offer specific services close to the current position. For + that purpose, they can request the longitude and latitude (along with other + information like altitude and heading, as available) from a browser. + &brandShortName; will never provide that information without the user's + consent. However, a notification is displayed for a page that requests the + location at least the first time that this site is visited. The preferences + located in the center section of the <a href="#privacy_and_security">Privacy + & Security panel</a> allow you to disable this feature entirely:</p> + +<ul> + <li><strong>Prompt me for permission if a request is made</strong>: Select + this if you want &brandShortName; to prompt you if the website you are + visiting is requesting geolocation information. The notification provides + the following options: + <ul> + <li><strong>Share location</strong>: Select this option if you want the + current location to be determined and forwarded to the requesting site, + for <em>this</em> request only.</li> + <li><strong>Not for this request</strong>: Select this option if you do + <em>not</em> want the current location to be determined and forwarded + to the requesting site, prompt again for the next request.</li> + <li><strong>Always for this site</strong>: Select this option if you + want the current location to be determined and forwarded to the + requesting site, also for all <em>future</em> requests.</li> + <li><strong>Never for this site</strong>: Select this option if you do + <em>not</em> want the current location to be determined and forwarded + to the requesting site, also for all <em>future</em> requests.</li> + </ul> + Closing or dismissing the notification will not give any response to the + requesting page at all.</li> + <li><strong>Disable this feature and deny all requests</strong>: Select this + option for not being prompted for geolocation requests. &brandShortName; + will appear to a website as if it doesn't support this feature.</li> +</ul> + +<p><strong>Notes</strong>:</p> + +<ul> + <li>Geolocation is a third-party web-based service. &brandShortName; collects + certain information about your internet access (e.g., wireless access + points) and sends those to this service.</li> + <li>The accuracy of the response varies and may range from city level to + within a few meters of your actual location.</li> + <li>No information about the requesting site itself is provided to the + geolocation service. The information returned by that service is provided + to the website by &brandShortName; in response to its request.</li> + <li>The requesting site receives an identification token that allows it to + track your movement for a limited time using the geolocation service.</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> |
