How to clear your browsing history
Someone can find out which webpages you’ve been looking at by
checking your computer or phone’s browsing history or its cache
file, which automatically saves webpages and graphics.
If you’re worried that someone could find out that you’ve
visited webpages giving advice on how to deal with certain
situations, like domestic abuse or child sexual exploitation, find
out below how you can take steps to maximise your safety when using
the internet.
You can take steps to stop them finding out what you’ve looked
at by clearing your browsing history on your computer or device and
emptying your cache file.
Please bear in mind that the safest way to look for
advice and information on the internet is to do it away from
home. This could be at work, at a trusted friend’s house
or at your local library.
