To prevent others from seeing what sites you have been on, you can clear the ‘cache’ and history files after each time you have used your computer.

Be cautious about clearing all your cache and history files. If your abuser is comfortable with computers, and sees that you have cleared all the cache and history files on your computer, they might get angry or suspicious. If that is a possibility, it would be better for you to use a computer they cannot have access to – for example, at a library, a friend’s house, or at work.

Another option is to delete only specific sites from your cache and history files. If you are comfortable with computers, you may want to do this.
