Staying safe on this site
What the Quick exit button does, and how to keep your visit private.
The Quick exit button
The red Quick exit button is at the bottom of every page. Tap it and this site is replaced straight away by a weather search. On a computer, pressing the Esc key twice does the same thing.
What it does not do:
- It does not clear your browser history. Someone who checks your history can still see that you visited
- The Back button may still lead to pages you opened earlier. Close the tab after you exit
Keep your visit out of your history
Use a private window. Pages you open in it are not saved to your history.
- Chrome: tap the three dots, then “New Incognito tab”
- Safari on iPhone: tap the tabs button, then “Private”
- Samsung Internet: tap the tabs button, then “Turn on Secret mode”
Or delete this site from your history afterwards. In most browsers: open History from the menu, find the pages from this site, and remove them.
If someone checks your phone
- A call to 112, 181, 1098 or 1930 shows in your call log. You can delete a single call from the log
- If you are worried about someone seeing this site on your phone, use a device they don’t have access to, like a friend’s phone or a school or library computer
- Screenshots save to your photo gallery. Delete them, or write the numbers down somewhere safe instead
If you are in danger now
Call 112.
