Parent's Guide for Safe Use of the Internet Never give out identifying information, home address, school name, or telephone number in a public message such as chat or bulletin boards. Ensure you are dealing with someone that both you and your child trust before giving out such information via e-mail. Think before revealing your age, marital status, or any financial information. Consider using a pseudonym or unlisting your child's name. Know the services your child uses. If you don't know how to log on, get your child to show you. know what types of information it offers and whether there are ways to block out material. Never allow your child to arrange a meeting with another computer user without your permission. If a meeting is arranged, make the first one in a public spot, and be sure to accompany your child. Never respond to messages or bulletin board items that are unpleasant in any way, or that make you feel uncomfortable. Encourage your children to tell you if they encounter such messages and ensure that they understand that it is not their fault that they have received such a message. Remember that people online may not always be who they seem and that everything you read may not always be true. Agree guidelines with your child about the use of the computer and monitor their use. Play an active role in their online time. show them how to use it safely and effectively. Consider using special browsers or filtering programs which will allow you to control time online and the material accessible. |

( * Any cookies which may be received via external sites to which we link, advertisements, affilites advertisements or tracking services are beyond our control and we do not have access to any information related to any such cookies.) Cookies are pieces of information generated by a web server and stored in the user's computer, ready for future access. Cookies are embedded in the html information flowing back and forth between the user's computer and the servers. Cookies were implemented to allow user-side customization of web information. For example, cookies are used to personalize web search engines, to store shopping lists of items a user has selected while browsing through a virtual shopping mall. Essentially, cookies make use of user-specific information transmitted by the web server onto the user's computer so that the information might be available for later access by itself or other servers. in most cases, not only does the storage of personal information into a cookie go unnoticed, so does access to it. web servers automatically gain access to relevant cookies whenever the user establishes a connection to them, usually in the form of web requests. Cookies are based on a two-stage process. First the cookie is stored in the user's computer without their consent or knowledge. for example, with customizable web search engines, a user selects categories of interest from the web page. The web server then creates a specific cookie, which is essentially a tagged string of text containing the user's preferences, and it transmits this cookie to the user's computer. The user's web browser, if cookie-savvy, receives the cookie and stores it in a special file called a cookie list. This happens without any notification or user consent. As a result, personal information (in this case the user's category preferences) is formatted by the web server, transmitted, and saved by the user's computer. During the second stage, the cookie is clandestinely and automatically transferred from the user's machine to a web server. Whenever a user directs the web browser to display a certain web page from the server, the browser will, without the user's knowledge, transmit the cookie containing personal information to the web server. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to prevent that use if you so desire. The Humpherlinks hope that the above information is helpful. If you encounter anything online which you consider harmful, inappropriate or illegal we give below contact sites and suggest you check these to find the most suitable body to which you can submit a report. |
