If you are worried about someone knowing you have visited this website please read the following safety information.
How can someone else discover your internet activities?
As a rule, internet browsers will save certain information as you surf the internet.
This includes images from websites visited, information entered into search engines and
a trail ('history') that reveals the sites you have visited. If you are concerned that
someone may be suspicious of your activity please follow the instructions below to
minimize the chances of someone finding out that you have visited this website.
If you know what browser you are using, then skip to the relevant instructions
below. If you do not know the type of browser you are using, click on Help on the
toolbar at the top of the browser screen. A drop down menu will appear, the last
entry will say About Internet Explorer, About Mozilla Firefox, or something similar.
The entry refers to which browser type you are using - you should then refer to the
relevant instructions below.
Internet Explorer
Click on the Tools menu and select Internet Options. On the General page,
under Temporary Internet Files, click on Delete Cookies and then OK.
Click on Delete Files, put a tick in the box labeled Delete all offline
content and click OK. Under History, click on Clear History and then
OK. Now look at the top of the window and click on the Content tab,
select AutoComplete and finally, Clear Forms.
Firefox/Mozilla
Click on Tools and then Options, then click on Privacy. Click on the Clear
button next to Cache and Saved Form Information.
Opera
Click on Tools and then Preferences. Click on the Advanced tab and then the
History section on the left-hand side. Click the two Clear buttons and
the Empty Now button.
Deleting your browsing history:
Internet browsers also keep a record of all the web pages you visit. This is
known as a 'history'. To delete history for Internet Explorer and
Netscape/Firefox hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard, then press the
H key (Ctrl, Alt and H for Opera). Find any entries that say
www.illicitencounters.co.uk, www.illicitencounters.com, or tummybutterflies,
right click and choose Delete.
E-mail:
Any email you have previously sent from your email program (instead of through
our site) will be stored in Sent Items.
If you started an email but didn't finish it, it might be in
your Drafts folder. If you reply to any email, the original message
will probably be in the body of the message - print and delete the
email if you don't want anyone to see your original message.
When you delete an item in any email program (Outlook Express, Outlook,
Thunderbird etc) it does not really delete the item - it moves the item
to a folder called Deleted Items. You have to delete the items in
Deleted Items separately. Right-click on items within the Deleted Items
folder to delete individual items.
Toolbars:
Toolbars such as Google, AOL and Yahoo keep a record of the search words you
have typed into the toolbar search box. In order to erase all the
search words you have typed in, you will need to check the individual
instructions for each type of toolbar. For example, for the Google
toolbar all you need to do is click on the Google icon, and choose
"Clear Search History".
Google Destop:
http://desktop.google.com/en/privacyfaq.html#control has some details about
how to stop things from being indexed by Google Desktop. The preferences also
have an option to allow items to be deleted - search for them, and a 'Remove
from Index' appears on the top-right of the results.
General security:
If you do not use a password to log on to your computer, someone else may be able to
access your email and track your internet usage.
