<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>Many web sites publish their privacy policies according to the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) standard. A web site's privacy policy describes what kind of information the site collects, to whom it gives that information, and how it uses the information.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To set the privacy level you want your browser to enforce for all web sites:
|
||||
<p>You can choose to enable cookies based on the browser's privacy settings and the P3P standard. When cookies are enabled in this manner, the browser checks your current privacy settings against those published by the web site and takes appropriate action.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For example, your privacy settings may require the browser to reject cookies that collect personal information without informing you. Alternatively, you can adjust your privacy settings so that the browser simply warns you when a cookie is used in this way, while allowing the action to take place.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The browser defines three levels of privacy: low, medium, and high. You can select one of these predefined privacy levels, or you can create your own custom privacy policy.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To control the privacy settings 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>Select the option labeled "Enable cookies based on privacy settings."
|
||||
<li>Click View.
|
||||
<li>In the privacy level dialog box, select the level of privacy you want.
|
||||
<li>In the Privacy Settings dialog box, select the level of privacy you want, or select "custom" and define your own privacy policy as discussed below.
|
||||
<li>Click OK to confirm your settings.
|
||||
</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>When the "custom" option is selected, you can define your own privacy policy.

<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>Many web sites publish their privacy policies according to the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) standard. A web site's privacy policy describes what kind of information the site collects, to whom it gives that information, and how it uses the information.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To set the privacy level you want your browser to enforce for all web sites:
|
||||
<p>You can choose to enable cookies based on the browser's privacy settings and the P3P standard. When cookies are enabled in this manner, the browser checks your current privacy settings against those published by the web site and takes appropriate action.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For example, your privacy settings may require the browser to reject cookies that collect personal information without informing you. Alternatively, you can adjust your privacy settings so that the browser simply warns you when a cookie is used in this way, while allowing the action to take place.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The browser defines three levels of privacy: low, medium, and high. You can select one of these predefined privacy levels, or you can create your own custom privacy policy.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To control the privacy settings 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>Select the option labeled "Enable cookies based on privacy settings."
|
||||
<li>Click View.
|
||||
<li>In the privacy level dialog box, select the level of privacy you want.
|
||||
<li>In the Privacy Settings dialog box, select the level of privacy you want, or select "custom" and define your own privacy policy as discussed below.
|
||||
<li>Click OK to confirm your settings.
|
||||
</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>When the "custom" option is selected, you can define your own privacy policy.
