<h2>Creating a New Profile</h2>
|

|

<p>To create a profile:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Exit the browser. It is not possible to create a new profile while the Navigator, Mail, or any other component of your browser software is running.
|
||||
<li>Open the Profile Manager.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>On Windows, open the Start menu and choose Programs, then Netscape 6, then Profile Manager.
|
||||
<li>On Mac OS, open the Netscape folder and then double-click the Profile Manager.
|
||||
<li>On Linux, type the following at the command line: <tt> ./netscape -profilemanager</tt>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li>Click Create Profile, read the Profile description, and then click Next.
|
||||
<li>Enter a profile name. This can be anything you like, such as your real name or a name that's related to what you use the profile for, such as "School."
|
||||
<li>Accept the default directory for the storage of bookmarks and other information, or choose another directory.
|
||||
<li>If you have Language Packs or Regional Content Packs installed, click Region and choose the Language/Content set you want.
|
||||
<li>Click Finish.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The opening screen of the Profile Manager reappears, with the new profile listed and highlighted.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To set up your browser for the new profile, click Start Netscape 6. You'll be asked to activate the new profile for use with Netscape Webmail, Netscape Instant Messenger, and custom My Netscape page. If you don't want to activate the new profile for these purposes at this time, click Cancel, and the program will open.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As you begin using the new profile, you will be asked for additional information as you perform tasks that require it—for example, checking your email.

|

|
||||
<p>If you use the Internet at home and at work, you may want to have access to a different set of bookmarks, preferences, address books, email accounts, My Sidebar setup, and so on. Similarly, family members may want to share share a copy of the same browser software but keep their Internet identities separate.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Profile Manager lets you create different profiles, each with its own booksmarks, preferences, email settings, and so on. You automatically create a default profile when you first install your browser software. When you create one or more additional profiles, you will be asked which you want to use each time you launch the browser.</P>

<h2>Creating a New Profile</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To create a profile:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Exit the browser. It is not possible to create a new profile while the Navigator, Mail, or any other component of your browser software is running.
|
||||
<li>Open the Profile Manager.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>On Windows, open the Start menu and choose Programs, then Netscape 6, then Profile Manager.
|
||||
<li>On Mac OS, open the Netscape folder and then double-click the Profile Manager.
|
||||
<li>On Linux, type the following at the command line: <tt> ./netscape -profilemanager</tt>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li>Click Create Profile, read the Profile description, and then click Next.
|
||||
<li>Enter a profile name. This can be anything you like, such as your real name or a name that's related to what you use the profile for, such as "School."
|
||||
<li>Accept the default directory for the storage of bookmarks and other information, or choose another directory.
|
||||
<li>If you have Language Packs or Regional Content Packs installed, click Region and choose the Language/Content set you want.
|
||||
<li>Click Finish.
|
||||
</ol>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>To set up your browser for the new profile, click Start Netscape 6. You'll be asked to activate the new profile for use with Netscape Webmail, Netscape Instant Messenger, and custom My Netscape page. If you don't want to activate the new profile for these purposes at this time, click Cancel, and the program will open.
|
||||

<h2>Setting Privacy Levels</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A web site's privacy policy tells you what kind of information the site collects, to whom it gives that information, and how it uses the information. Some web sites publish privacy policies that determine how your browser will handle cookies according to the privacy level you set.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To set the privacy level you want your browser to enforce for all web sites:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
|
||||
<li>Under the Privacy & Security category, choose Cookies. (If no subcategories are visible, double-click the category to expand the list.)
|
||||
<li>Select the option labeled "Enable cookies based on privacy levels."
|
||||
<li>Click View.
|
||||
<li>In the privacy level dialog box, select the level of privacy you want.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Your browser will handle cookies according to the settings under Cookie Acceptance Policy. For the low, medium, and high options, these settings are standardized.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"First party cookies" are cookies set by the site you are visiting. "Third party cookies," also known as <a href="privacy_help.html#privacy_foreign">foreign cookies</a>, are set by a sites other than the one you are viewing, and are therefore generally considered more dangerous.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When the Custom option is set, you can define your own privacy level. For each type of site listed under Cookie Acceptance Policy, and for each type of cookie, you can set whether you want the Cookie Manager to accept the cookie permanently, reject it permanently, or accept it just for the current session (that is, until you exit the browser).

|
||||
<p>This section describes how to use the Cookie Sites tab of the Cookie Manager. If you're not already viewing it, follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To remove one or more cookies from your computer:
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Tasks menu, choose Privacy & Security, and then choose Cookie Manager.
|
||||
<li>Choose View Stored Cookies from the submenu. The Cookie Manager window opens with a list of all the cookies stored on your computer.</li>
|
||||
<li>Select one or more cookies and click Remove Cookie, or click Remove All Cookies.
|
||||
<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
|
||||
<li>Under the Privacy & Security category, click Cookies. (If no subcategories are visible, double-click the category to expand the list.)
|
||||
<li>Click View Stored Cookies.
|
||||
<li>Click the Cookie Sites tab.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can also choose to prevent the removed cookies from being re-accepted later.
|
||||
<p>When the "Warn me before storing a cookie" option is selected in the <a href="#cookie_prefs">Privacy & Security Preferences - Cookies</a>, you will be warned (while browsing) each time a web site requests permission to set a cookie. The warning allows you to accept or deny the cookie. The warning also allows you to select an option for your browser to "Remember this decision."

<p>
|

[ <A HREF="#using_cookies">Return to beginning of section</A> ]
|

</p>
|
||||
<p>The Cookie Sites tab of the Cookie Manager lists the sites for which your decisions have been remembered, and what your decisions were. It also allows you to remove sites from the list, so that the Cookie Manager no longer remembers your decisions about them:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Remove Site:</b> Removes the selected site or sites from the list.
|
||||
<li><b>Remove All Cookies:</b> Removes all sites from the list.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Once you've removed a site from this list, Cookie Manager remembers nothing about it. When the "Warn me before storing a cookie" option is selected in the Cookies preferences panel, you will be again be warned when the web site you removed from this list requests permission to set a cookie.

<h2>Privacy Levels</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This section describes how to use the Privacy Levels window. If you're not already viewing it, follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
|
||||
<li>Under the Privacy & Security category, click Cookies. (If no subcategories are visible, double-click the category to expand the list.)

<li>Select the radio button labeled "Enable Cookies Based on Privacy Levels."
|
||||
<li>Click View.
|

</ol>
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Level of Privacy</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The level of privacy you set here determines how your browser treats cookies according to privacy policies published by some web sites and the settings displayed under Cookie Acceptance Policy for first party and third party cookies.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"First party cookies" are cookies set by the site you are visiting. "Third party cookies," also known as <a href="privacy_help.html#privacy_foreign">foreign cookies</a>, are set by a site other than the one you are viewing, and are considered more dangerous than first party cookies.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can select one of the following privacy levels:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>low:</b> Select this if you're not too concerned about cookies. When this setting is selected, the Cookie Manager accepts all first party cookies permanently, without regard for a site's privacy policy. It also accepts all third party cookies&$151;but, in the case of sites that may be collecting information without your consent, only until you exit the browser.
|
||||
<li><b>medium:</b> Select this if you don't want to accept third party cookies set by sites that may be collecting personally identifiable information without your consent.
|
||||
<li><b>high:</b> Select this if you want to accept only cookies set by sites that explicitly ask for your consent when they collect personally identifiable information.
|
||||
<li><b>custom:</b> Select this only if you want to set your own custom Cookie Acceptance Policy. The default settings for "custom" are the same as for "high." You can modify them by selecting from the drop-down menus in the bottom portion of the dialog box.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Cookie Acceptance Policy</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you select the "custom" level of privacy in the top portion of the Privacy Levels dialog box, you can choose from three different settings in each of the eight categories shown in the bottom portion. You can choose one of these options for each category:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Accept:</b> Causes Cookie Manager to accept permanently all cookies in the category.
|
||||
<li><b>Session:</b> Causes Cookie Manager to accept all cookies in the category for the current session only&$151;that is, until you exit the browser.
|
||||
<li><b>Reject:</b> Causes Cookie Manager to reject permanently all cookies in the category.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are four categories for each of the two types of cookies shown:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Site has no privacy policy:</b> This kind of site does not publish any kind of privacy policy. There is no way of knowing what kinds of information such sites collect or what they do with it. In general, it's safest to reject cookies set by such sites, esecially third-party cookies.
|
||||
<li><b>Site collects personally identifiable information without your consent:</b> This kind of site publishes a privacy policy, but does not ask your permission when they collect information about your online activities. If you are concerned about such information being collected without your knowledge, you should reject cookies from such sites, especially third-party cookies.
|
||||
<li><b>Site collects personally identifiable information with only your implicit consent:</b> <b>[what does "implicit" mean?]</b>
|
||||
<li><b>Site does not collect personally identifiable information without your implicit consent:</b> This kind of site is relatively less dangerous, since you are warned, and given a chance to reject the request, each time such a site attempts to collect information about you. As for the other types of sites, third-party cookies are considered more dangerous than first party cookies.

<p>If you use the Internet at home and at work, you may want to have access to a different set of bookmarks, preferences, adddress books, email accounts, My Sidebar setup, and so on. Similarly, family members may want to share share a copy of the same browser software but keep their Internet identities separate.
|

<p>The Profile Manager lets you create different profiles, each with its own booksmarks, preferences, email settings, and so on. You automatically create a default profile when you first install your browser software.

<ul>
|
||||
<li><p><b>Disable cookies:</b> Choose this to refuse all cookies.
|
||||
|
||||
<li><b>Enable cookies for the originating web site only:</b> Choose this if you don't want to accept or return <a href="privacy_help.html#privacy_foreign">foreign cookies</a>. Cookies received through email (when the message contains a web page) are treated as foreign cookies.
|
||||
|
||||
<li><b>Enable all cookies:</b> Choose this to permit all web sites to set cookies on your computer and receive them back during subsequent visits. <b>Note:</b> If you select this option, and later choose to reject all cookies, you may still have some older cookies stored on your computer (though no new ones will be set).
|
||||

<p>If you select "Remember this decision," you will not be warned the next time that site tries to set or modify a cookie, and your "yes" or "no" response will still be in effect.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you wish to change a remembered response later, you can use Cookie Manager to edit your list of automatically stored cookies and the list of web sites for which you have approved or denied cookie access. To do so, click View Stored Cookies in the Cookies preferences panel.

<h2>Setting Privacy Levels</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A web site's privacy policy tells you what kind of information the site collects, to whom it gives that information, and how it uses the information. Some web sites publish privacy policies that determine how your browser will handle cookies according to the privacy level you set.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To set the privacy level you want your browser to enforce for all web sites:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
|
||||
<li>Under the Privacy & Security category, choose Cookies. (If no subcategories are visible, double-click the category to expand the list.)
|
||||
<li>Select the option labeled "Enable cookies based on privacy levels."
|
||||
<li>Click View.
|
||||
<li>In the privacy level dialog box, select the level of privacy you want.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Your browser will handle cookies according to the settings under Cookie Acceptance Policy. For the low, medium, and high options, these settings are standardized.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"First party cookies" are cookies set by the site you are visiting. "Third party cookies," also known as <a href="privacy_help.html#privacy_foreign">foreign cookies</a>, are set by a sites other than the one you are viewing, and are therefore generally considered more dangerous.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When the Custom option is set, you can define your own privacy level. For each type of site listed under Cookie Acceptance Policy, and for each type of cookie, you can set whether you want the Cookie Manager to accept the cookie permanently, reject it permanently, or accept it just for the current session (that is, until you exit the browser).
|
||||

<h2>Privacy Levels</h2>
|

|

<ol>
|

<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
|

|

<p> </p>
|

|
||||
<h3>Level of Privacy</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The level of privacy you set here determines how your browser treats cookies according to privacy policies published by some web sites and the settings displayed under Cookie Acceptance Policy for first party and third party cookies.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>"First party cookies" are cookies set by the site you are visiting. "Third party cookies," also known as <a href="privacy_help.html#privacy_foreign">foreign cookies</a>, are set by a site other than the one you are viewing, and are considered more dangerous than first party cookies.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can select one of the following privacy levels:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>low:</b> Select this if you're not too concerned about cookies. When this setting is selected, the Cookie Manager accepts all first party cookies permanently, without regard for a site's privacy policy. It also accepts all third party cookies&$151;but, in the case of sites that may be collecting information without your consent, only until you exit the browser.
|
||||
<li><b>medium:</b> Select this if you don't want to accept third party cookies set by sites that may be collecting personally identifiable information without your consent.
|
||||
<li><b>high:</b> Select this if you want to accept only cookies set by sites that explicitly ask for your consent when they collect personally identifiable information.
|
||||
<li><b>custom:</b> Select this only if you want to set your own custom Cookie Acceptance Policy. The default settings for "custom" are the same as for "high." You can modify them by selecting from the drop-down menus in the bottom portion of the dialog box.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Cookie Acceptance Policy</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you select the "custom" level of privacy in the top portion of the Privacy Levels dialog box, you can choose from three different settings in each of the eight categories shown in the bottom portion. You can choose one of these options for each category:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Accept:</b> Causes Cookie Manager to accept permanently all cookies in the category.
|
||||
<li><b>Session:</b> Causes Cookie Manager to accept all cookies in the category for the current session only&$151;that is, until you exit the browser.
|
||||
<li><b>Reject:</b> Causes Cookie Manager to reject permanently all cookies in the category.
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are four categories for each of the two types of cookies shown:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><b>Site has no privacy policy:</b> This kind of site does not publish any kind of privacy policy. There is no way of knowing what kinds of information such sites collect or what they do with it. In general, it's safest to reject cookies set by such sites, esecially third-party cookies.
|
||||
<li><b>Site collects personally identifiable information without your consent:</b> This kind of site publishes a privacy policy, but does not ask your permission when they collect information about your online activities. If you are concerned about such information being collected without your knowledge, you should reject cookies from such sites, especially third-party cookies.
|
||||
<li><b>Site collects personally identifiable information with only your implicit consent:</b> <b>[what does "implicit" mean?]</b>
|
||||
<li><b>Site does not collect personally identifiable information without your implicit consent:</b> This kind of site is relatively less dangerous, since you are warned, and given a chance to reject the request, each time such a site attempts to collect information about you. As for the other types of sites, third-party cookies are considered more dangerous than first party cookies.

<p>Cookie acceptance preferences allow you to control the way Navigator handles cookies:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><p><b>Disable cookies:</b> Choose this to refuse all cookies.
|
||||
|
||||
<li><b>Enable cookies for the originating web site only:</b> Choose this if you don't want to accept or return <a href="privacy_help.html#privacy_foreign">foreign cookies</a>. Cookies received through email (when the message contains a web page) are treated as foreign cookies.

<p>If you select "Remember this decision," you will not be warned the next time that site tries to set or modify a cookie, and your "yes" or "no" response will still be in effect.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you wish to change a remembered response later, you can use Cookie Manager to edit your list of automatically stored cookies and the list of web sites for which you have approved or denied cookie access. To do so, click View Stored Cookies in the Cookies preferences panel.
