## Privacy & Security Preferences - Privacy & Security

This section describes how to use the main Privacy & Security preferences panel. If you're not already viewing it, follow these steps:

1. Open the &brandShortName; Edit menu and choose Preferences.
2. Click the Privacy & Security category.

### User Tracking

These settings allow you to communicate your tracking preferences to websites. User tracking refers to websites (including advertisers, analytics providers, and social sites) collecting and analyzing comprehensive data on your web browsing patterns, thus affecting your privacy. For more information on this topic, see Why and How Are Websites Tracking Me? The Do Not Track technology allows you to tell a website whether or not you agree to tracking. The following options are available in this section:

- Tell websites about my tracking preference: 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:
  - I do not want to be tracked: Select this option to send a Do Not Track request to each website visited.
  - I consent to being tracked: Select this option to explicitly tell each website visited that you agree with your browsing behavior being tracked.

Notes:

- Honoring a Do Not Track request is voluntary, thus individual websites are not required 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.
- Requesting Do Not Track from a website should not affect your ability to use the website properly (e.g., when using a web application or when putting items into a cart while shopping).
- Note that Do Not Track does not prevent 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.

### Safe Browsing

Some websites contain potentially dangerous content and may have been reported as malicious. The preferences located in the lower section of the Privacy & Security panel 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:

- Block reported attack sites: 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 malware 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.
- Block reported web forgeries: 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 phishing).

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:

- Reported Attack Page! This website has been reported as a website trying to infect your computer with malware.
- Reported Web Forgery! This website has been reported as a website trying to steal your personal information.

No harm has been done at this point. Select one of the following options:

- Get me out of here! Do not load this website. Instead, go to &brandShortName;'s default start page.
- Why was this page blocked? 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.
- Ignore this warning: Proceed with loading the page. Only use this when you are certain 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:
  - This isn't an attack site or This isn't a web forgery: Click this button to open a new tab allowing you to report false warnings (this is an external page).

Important: The Safe Browsing feature is switched on by default. It is not recommended to disable either function as this may result in you visiting unsafe sites.

Note: If no warning is shown for a specific website, it does not guarantee that this site is trustworthy; it just means that it has not been reported. Attack and phishing websites may look 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.
