Some basic rules can help you easily improve your security and that of your data when browsing the internet.
Use an up-to-date browser
Remember to always update your browser (Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, etc.): these updates are essential so that potential security vulnerabilities are not exploited to retrieve your data. If possible, we recommend enabling automatic updates for optimal protection without having to think about it.
Browse in "private" mode
All web browsers have an "incognito" or "private" mode. Its main advantage is not to record the browsing history on your device. The second advantage is to limit the sending of information to the websites you visit. If possible, activate automatic opening in private browsing in your browser settings or as soon as you browse the internet.
Also note that browsing the internet privately has an additional benefit: some unscrupulous sites use "cookies" to adjust their prices to your browsing behavior.
A cookie is a file that is deposited by your browser on your computer when you browse the internet. This file records personal information about you, such as age, your username on a website, or consumption habits. This information is then collected and analyzed to improve your browsing, but above all to offer you targeted advertisements based on your profile. Browsing the internet in private mode prevents these files from being stored when you close the browser.
Configure your browser to indicate that you refuse to be tracked
Some browsers offer an option to indicate to websites that you refuse to allow information related to your internet browsing to be used. Commercial sites often use this data to offer you commercial offers.
Depending on the browser you are using, the process to activate this option will not be the same.
Regularly delete your browsing data
If you do not use the "private" or "incognito" mode of your browser, we recommend that you regularly delete cookies, temporary files, and your browsing history manually:
Limit the data you share
It may seem obvious, but always be vigilant about what you do on the internet. Avoid sharing your personal data (email address, phone number, identity, etc.) even on sites you are used to, or during exchanges with people you know.
Another good practice is to check the address behind a link before clicking on it. To do this, move the pointer of your mouse over the link without clicking: you will see the address of the website appear at the bottom of your navigation page (see image below). The end of this address should always be strictly identical to the expected brand name. Also, check that the website address starts with "https://" as on KARMA.
