Clearing your tracks – safe browsing online
If you are in an abusive or controlling relationship it is important you stay safe online when viewing support like our DVIP and MyTime service pages.
We have given the option to close our website immediately. By clicking ‘Hide This Page’ on the right hand side of the screen the website will take you to the Google homepage. However, to cover your tracks fully you should delete your computers browsing history as the internet browser you are using will keep records of all websites and webpages you visit. It is important you do not delete everything as this could raise suspicions, only delete the relevant websites.
Some internet search engines like Google, keep a record of the words you have used to look for information online. To delete this information, check the settings for the toolbar/browser you use.
Disclaimer: Deleting your history and toolbar may vary on different internet browsers. We advise that if you are worried someone will know you’re trying to seek help, use a public computer (e.g. at work or in a library) or a friend’s device. We do not advise that you search for help on a device you share with your abusive partner.
If you are in immediate danger, please call 999.
