If you are concerned about cookies, you can configure how you want Camino to handle them.
Camino 1 Cookies Accept
By entering Camino 1’s Preferences and going to the Privacy pane, you will find a few options to customize. Camino 1 can accept all cookies, accept cookies only from sites you visit — meaning cookies from advertisers and other third-party websites will be blocked — or deny all cookies. Additionally, Camino 1 includes the ability to ask the user every time a cookie is offered, allowing the user the opportunity to choose which cookies are accepted.
To see the cookies you have accepted, click . You can then view and remove cookies, and optionally add a website to the list of sites which you always prevent from storing cookies.
Finally, you can choose to see which sites you have chosen to always allow cookies from or to always deny cookies from — despite your other cookie preferences.
Temporarily accepting cookies to access a websiteSometimes you may need to accept cookies in order to view a website, so you need to temporarily accept cookies or un-block the website.
- If you have Don’t accept any cookies selected, simply select Accept cookies from any site to accept the cookies and reload the page.
- If you have Camino 1 set to ask you which cookies to accept and have blocked cookies from the page, you will need to click and change the setting for the website from “Deny” to “Allow” before trying to reload the page.
After visiting the site, you can return your settings to the previous values, and you may want to remove any cookies the site has set by clicking the button and deleting cookies from that website.
Emptying your cacheCache is a collection of versions of pages and images you’ve viewed; Camino 1 stores these versions on your disk. Keeping cached versions allows websites to load more quickly the next time you visit those sites. Removing your cache deletes all of these visited versions of pages.
Your history is a record of the websites you’ve browsed. This record is searchable from the History Manager and also is the basis for auto-completion of URLs in your location bar.
To reset Camino 1’s history, go to the Preferences and choose the History pane. Select the button. This will reset any record of the pages you have visited. You can also clear Camino 1’s history by choosing the item at the bottom of the Go menu.
Resetting Camino 1Resetting Camino 1 will erase your browsing history, empty the cache, clear downloads, clear all cookies, and clear all site permissions. This action cannot be undone.
To reset Camino 1, simply go to the Camino 1 application menu and select
Determining if the website you are visiting is secureWhen information sent to and from a website you are visiting is encrypted (“secure”), Camino 1 indicates this by turning the location bar yellow and adding a lock icon (see screenshot below).
Camino 1 Secure Browsing
In some cases, a secure website may contain some insecure elements, usually images, frames, or iframes. By default Camino 1 will warn you if the page you are about to visit contains a mix of secure and unsecure content, and the lock icon in the location bar will be “unlocked” to indicate the page content is not completely encypted.
In some cases, forms you complete on a secure website may be submitted in a non-secure way or to an insecure website. Camino 1 is set to display a message when this is about to happen, allowing you to stop the form submission if you are concerned about the security of your information.
If you don’t want to see warnings about insecure content or if you want to change other preferences concerning security, choose from the Camino 1 application menu and open the Security preference pane. Uncheck the options for warnings you no longer wish to receive.
You can find more detailed information about the security and encryption level of the site you are viewing by choosing the Get Info item from the Edit menu or, if the site is secure, by Ctrl-clicking on the lock icon in the location bar and choosing one of the options in the context menu.
Accessing websites that require a personal certificateBy default, Camino 1 does not enable the interface for choosing which personal certificate to use when accessing a website that requires such a certificate. Instead, Camino 1 always uses the first personal certificate it finds. If you have more than one personal certificate and need to be able to choose which certificate to use when accessing a given site, you can enable the interface by setting the following hidden preference. Edit the
user.js file and add the following line:user_pref(“security.default_personal_cert”, “Ask Every Time”); After restarting Camino 1, the user interface for choosing which personal certificate to use will appear the next time you visit a site that requires it.
