Quick escape button information
This website has a “quick escape” button near the bottom right-hand corner of each page. The button may be helpful if you are worried that someone is about to find you looking at this site. If you click on this button, it will close the Women’s Legal Service website and open the Google search website.
The quick escape button will not delete your browser history, which means that if someone checks your browser history, they will be able to see that you have visited this website.
To delete information that shows the websites you have visited:
1. Turn off or delete your browsing history to remove your visited websites' addresses (URLs).
2. Go to the tools or settings menu and turn off search and page history if your browser offers it. Look for a setting called ‘never remember history’ or ‘clear history when closing browser’.
3. Delete your history at the end of each browsing session. Note that deleting large parts of your internet history may alert your abuser. Browsers usually allow you to choose whether to delete the entire history, delete the history back to a certain date, or delete a single website from the history list.
