Private Browsing

Most popular web browsers include a “private browsing” mode, which prevents your activity from being recorded on your computer. Although this doesn’t stop websites or online services from monitoring your actions, it ensures that no history, cache, or other local data is saved, making it a valuable first step for protecting your privacy.

If you do not know the type of browser you are using, you can find the Help menu by clicking on the button with the ellipsis/three dots at the top right hand corner of the browser screen. A drop down menu will appear, and if you choose the option starting with “Help”, another dropdown will appear and there will be an entry saying About Google Chrome, About Microsoft Edge, About Safari or something similar. The entry refers to which browser type you are using – you should then refer to the relevant instructions, which can be found on the following link:
