Cookies are: Strings of text, pieces of information stored in files that Web servers store on your computer when you are browsing. These files let the same servers recognize your computer the next time you visit their sites. Cookies are not: Viruses. They cannot cause direct damage to your computer system in any way, but they can record your browsing habits in intrusive manners and trace your movements across different Web sites. Some sites use cookies to store your user name, which means, for example, that for...

All browsers keep records of where you have been on the Internet, and even store Web pages and other files (such as graphics) in a local folder known as the cache. Your cache folder can thus contain sensitive information. If you do not want other users to know about certain sites that you have visited, your history may point them to these sites, and your cache may contain local copies of the content of those sites.If you do not want Opera to store your history, go to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > History and set...

Are you sharing your computer with colleagues, family, or co-habitants? Do you surf with Opera on publically accessible computers? This page holds some tips for maintaining privacy within the same computer and user account. Shared Computer First of all, when installing Opera on a multi-user Windows computer, make sure to opt for separate user directories during install. This will ensure that your settings, e-mail, Wand passwords, history, and so forth, are stored in your own user directory only. Remember that this may be of...

Network and Proxies The network settings that may affect your security and privacy mainly have to do with proxy servers. A proxy server collects information from the Internet and stores it locally, making the information available for viewing by anyone using proxy server. If your Internet service provider (ISP) has a proxy server available, configuring Opera to go through this proxy could speed up your surfing. Proxy Server SettingsHTTP and HTTPS Do not use a proxy server for HTTP or HTTPS unless you have particular reasons...

The settings in Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Network and Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Cookies determine how Web servers handle and monitor your net activities.Referrer loggingSome Web sites register the site that referred you to them. This information can be used to control content by delivering documents that have some bearing on the site that you came from. If you prefer not to allow a Web site to know where you were before visiting it, especially if you were on a local, secure, or restricted site,...

E-mail securityIf you leave the authentication type for your login as "Auto", Opera will try the most secure authentication available and then work its way down the list should the first type fail. The authentication types available to you will depend on the mail server. Note that this will not encrypt your actual mail data, only your login.Adding certificates in OperaReputable on-line merchants have their public keys signed by authorities, which are trusted security firms. These firms issue digital certificates that contain...

When you send or receive information from a site where Opera's icon displays "Secure", Opera and the Web site use a secret one-time key before sending the information. When you entered the secure page, Opera and the Web site used public keys to agree on that secret key. That is called a handshake. The key encrypts all the information sent and is used for this session only.The level of encryption depends on the available key space, which means the number of possibilities when generating keys. The more possible keys, the higher...

Encryption is a way of scrambling information so that only a legitimate recipient of that information can make it readable again. The most common form of encryption today is public key/private key encryption. Imagine a strongbox that has two keyholes and two separate keys. If you lock the box using one key, you can only unlock it with the other.Security protocolsHovering the padlock icon when visiting a secure server, you will see a string of text that looks something like this: TLS v1.0 128 bit C4 (1024 bit RSA/SHA)The first...

Opera is designed with the most advanced and widespread security measures available, making on-line purchasing simple.Some sites may greet you with a page saying something along the lines of "You do not have a secure browser; please download Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer." The site designer may, mistakenly, believe that only those browsers support advanced security, although Opera has levels of security that are as good as or superior to these browsers.Changing how Opera identifies itself will often allow you to...

The settings in Preferences > Advanced > Content allow you to set up external applications that Opera can use to enhance your browsing experience.Plug-insPlug-ins are external applications that Opera can use to display images and video clips, show files, or play sounds that the browser is not able to handle by itself.

Therefore, Opera's various security settings will have no effect on how...
