Hide this visit

If you're concerned that someone might find out you've visited this website, you're not alone, and there are steps you can take to help protect your privacy.

 

When you visit websites or use apps, your device may store temporary files called cache files. These can include images, scripts, and other data that help websites load faster. Clearing these files, along with your browser history, can help reduce the chances of someone seeing what you've viewed.

 

Important

While the steps below can help, they may not completely hide your activity. The safest way to browse privately is to use a device that others don’t have access to, such as one at a library, at work, or borrowed from a trusted friend or relative.
