How can I cover my tracks?

We advise you to use private browsing. This way, your browsing history will not be saved.
If you are not browsing privately, you can still cover your tracks by clearing your browsing history. The procedure for clearing your tracks on the web varies according to the Internet browser. Here is how to do it for the different browsers.
  • Click on "Customize and control Google Chrome" (icon with 3 horizontal bars, top right).
  • Click on "History". A tab opens.
  • Click on "Clear browsing data". But don't forget that by doing this, you'll also be deleting the history of websites other people have visited. This risks creating a blank cache.
  • Select the sites you've visited by clicking on them in the list that appears (this will enable you to check them off). Then click on "Delete selected items".
  • Click on the "Open menu" button.
  • Click on "History".
  • Or click on "Delete recent history". You can then choose the period of time to be deleted: the last hour, the last two hours, today... Or you can choose to delete everything. But don't forget that by selecting "All history", you'll also be deleting the history of websites that other people have visited. This risks creating a blank cache. Confirm your choice with "Clear now".
  • Or click on "Show history panel". A window will appear showing all the sites you've visited. You can right-click on the sites you wish to delete and click on "Delete this page".
  • Click on the "Tools" button (nut icon, top right). A column appears.
  • Click on "Security" and select "Delete browsing history".
  • A window appears. Some boxes are already checked by default. Be sure to uncheck them. Keep "Temporary Internet and website files", "Cookies and website data", "History", "Download history", "Form data" checked. Confirm by clicking on "Delete". But don't forget that by doing this, you'll also be deleting the history of websites that other people have visited. This risks creating a blank cache.
  • Click on "History" (in the menu bar at the top of the page).
  • Click on "Clear History". A window opens.
  • In the menu, check whether you want to delete "last hour", "today", "today and yesterday" or "all history". Safari also clears caches, the list of recent searches and removes website icons displayed in the search and address fields.
  • Open the "Settings" menu (the grey gear icon on the home screen).
  • Click on "Safari".
  • In the "Privacy" section, click on "Clear History".
  • Confirm deletion of history.
  • Open the browser and click on the menu button in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
  • Click on "Settings", then "Privacy & Security".
  • Click on "Clear History".
  • Confirm deletion of history.
