Get a bit more familiar with the privacy settings on your computer<\/h3>\n<p>These can be found in the \u2018options\u2019 menu of your browser.

Try and tailor these privacy settings to suit your household\u2019s needs.<\/h3>\n<p>Everybody uses the internet in different ways and for varying purposes. In households where more than one person uses the same computer, we suggest that each user has their own \u2018user account\u2019. This allows privacy settings (for example cookie settings or opt out preferences) to be tailored to the needs and requirements of each user.<\/p>\n<p>On Windows 10:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-129 aligncenter\" style=\"width: 70%; height: auto;\" title=\"user accounts\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youronlinechoices.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Windows10_accounts.png\" alt=\"user accounts\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On Mac OS:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-129 aligncenter\" style=\"width: 70%; height: auto;\" title=\"user accounts\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youronlinechoices.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/MAC_accounts.jpg\" alt=\"user accounts\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five top tips to help you manage your online privacy. 1.
