No trace of cookies behind

Hey guys,

i was wondering while i'm at work, the websites i go on , i want to erase them at the end of the day so that my boss can't find out what websites i've been on. I know i can clear everything by goin to options and delete my browsing history but is there any way for them to find out what websites i've been on even after clearing that?

 

There are ways to get back everything you delete.

Google Chrome has Incognito Mode, which doesnt even record anything, so there should be nothing to find.
I dont know if it ever been tested by a professional, but I coudnt find anything when I looked.

 

Well, the obvious answer is to not do this at work.

Secondarily, since you are going out through the company's network, regardless of whether they were smart and configured a proxy or not, they will still have the capability of logging all traffic by IP address. So, again, the obvious answer is ...

 

Agreed... it's a bit of shameless behaviour to ask for such a thing.

 

You can remove the cookies this way:

From any Internet Explorer page, go to Tools, and then Internet Options. In the General screen, select: Browsing History. Click on Settings. A "Temporary Internet Filels and History" screen will open up, and select: View Files. When this page opens up, you will see all of your Cookies and Temporary Internet Files that are stored together. You can delete them all or you can selectively delete whichever Cookies or Temp Internet Files you wish.

Remember though, that even though you've deleted the Cookies, your employer may have other ways to track your internet use. . .

 

Sure. They've most likely got monitoring/logging software running under the common gateway that all internet traffic goes through, which would, at the very least, keep track of packets going to and from websites of, shall we say, "interest," and would be logging both the remote IP and the local IP - i.e., your IP.

If that's the case, then erasing your cookies every day isn't doing anything other than keeping your cookie cache nice and tidy.

 

Apart from what other's have said about tracking.

What does work is installing CCleaner, copying the .exe from the programme files to a falsh drive and running this on any computer you plug your drive into.

But it only clears the files "you see" (even allows you to overwite 7 or 35 times) - other's have pointed out though that the network can track IP adresses.

So it wouldn't remove all proof, but make it a tad harder to prove

 

You are likely going through a proxy which will record everything you are doing regardless if you even destroy your hard drive.

If you like you job, dont do anything on the computer that you wouldnt do with your boss right behind you.

 

okay thanks i'll just say away from NSFW sites lol

 

Most managers can get reports of the websites each and every one of their staff visit.

While I had no real issues with a bit of surfing, staff visiting highly inappropriate sites were escorted from the premises permanently.

Those staff who seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time surfing were clearly not being assigned enough work. Solution: More assignments. Then it becomes a job performance issue if the work is not done and can be dealt with in that way.

 

Yeah that is a good decision to stay away from nsfw websites particularly in the office,
There are many ways one can trace out what websites you've been to and you cannot clear all this sorta things from your computer they still have the capability of logging all traffic by IP address.
