ONLINE SAFETY

Covering your tracks online is important, especially if you are concerned that someone finds out you have visited our website or contacted us for support. Most internet browsers (Google, Chrome, Safari, Yahoo, Mozilla etc) will save certain information building up a "history" of all your online activities including browsing websites/images and making word searches.

WARNING: There is no way to ensure all your online movements are covered.

You could use a friend's computer who you trust, a library, internet café or a work computer.
