Staying safe online
If you’re worried about somebody knowing you’ve visited this website there are ways to go about staying safe online.
Please note that this information is for guidance only and may not completely cover your tracks. The safest way to access the internet would be to not use any devices that the perpetrator may have access to. If you have your own laptop, computer, iPad or phone, always have a password and try to change it regularly. If this is not possible, then we would advise not browsing on these devices and instead try to use a friend’s device, a work computer or a local library.
How can an abuser trace your internet activities?
As a rule, web browsers save certain information as you surf the internet. This includes images from websites visited, words entered into search engines and the internet history that reveals the sites you have visited.
Quick exit site button
We have a quick exit button on our page which you can see on the bottom right of the website on desktop or the bottom of the website on mobile. By clicking on this button, it will automatically leave the website and go on to another website page.
Search engines and toolbars
Search engines and toolbars such as Google, Bing and Yahoo can 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, on the Google toolbar, click on the Google search bar dropdown arrow icon and click ‘Clear History’.
Removing this website from your internet history
Please be aware that certain internet browsers may have saved your browsing history including this website. You can ensure that this website is removed from your internet browser history by pressing CTRL and the letter H (or CTRL, ALT, H or COMMAND, Y on an Apple) and your browsing history will appear. Right click on Panahghar’s website and click DELETE on your keyboard.
Warning about deleting internet histories

Other users of the device may notice if cookies or the history on the device have been cleared completely, and this could raise suspicion.
