In today's guide, we'll look at how to protect our privacy from websites that... iOS open in native browser Safari. So let's see together how to do it.
How to ensure that you iOS did not follow websites
Apple to iOS decided to implement a really wide range of different settings Safari, including several features that protect your privacy and data from websites. So if you want to make sure websites don't track you and nestyour data, please proceed as follows. On our iOS device, we open the native application Settings and we sit down below, until we come across a box Safari, which we will open. We're almost sitting here all the way down to the title Privacy and security, where we stop. Using switches, we can set several functions and services here:
- Do not track across pages – this service guarantees that websites can track your movement on the Internet – i.e. which pages you visit, where you click, etc. Accordingly, relevant advertisements are then displayed, for example. If you do not want websites to track your movements, activate this function.
- Block all cookies – activation is a rather drastic step, as cookies is used by most websites these days, and some of them even work without it. cookies may not display correctly. However, if you want to maxFor maximum security, you can enable this feature. However, please note that you will not see relevant ads and that some websites may not display properly.
- Ask websites not to track me – this service is similar to the cross-site Do Not Track feature. Simply, all the websites you visit Safari asks not to track you – however, not every website respects this, as it is just a request.
- Notify about phishing – in case that Safari detects phishing, it will warn you. You often don't even notice phishing because the website you are on may look completely fine, but the opposite is true. These fraudulent sites very often look like the real ones and their only task is to steal various data - for example, from online banking. Safari will try to prevent these websites by activating this feature.
- Enable camera and microphone – if you are worried that someone is watching or eavesdropping on you, you can turn off the camera and microphone for peace of mind Safari If a website requests your camera or microphone, Safari the page will not allow it.
- Control Apple Pay – if this function is activated, the website can find out if you have the service set up Apple Pay. Accordingly, they may offer you, for example, other payment methods. In the Czech Republic, however, for now Apple Pay doesn't work
How are you? Safari How you set it depends entirely on your preferences. Be careful not to block websites from accessing everything. Some websites might stop working. In general, I think that unless you are a major gangster (and I hope there are none among our readers), you don't have to worry too much about your privacy.
Why doesn't it implement more protection Apple direct? When it costs 45, perhaps safety should be a given...
