If you are concerned that the person abusing you may check up on your Internet activities, there are a few steps you can take to help you cover your tracks, including deleting cookies and clearing your browser history (your cache).<\/p>\n<p>If the person who is abusing, you is good on a computer it may not be safe for you to be visiting sites for abused women. Hide your Internet activities and visit Shelternet from a safer place &#8211; the public library, school, an internet caf\u00e9, or your workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Cookies are a way for web sites to track their visitors and their actions. Sometimes this means that the site will \u201cremember\u201d you when you visit again. For example, it may display your first name, which you entered on a previous visit. This is done by storing small bits of information on your computer. It is important to delete cookies when covering your tracks on the internet.
