Online Privacy And Security - O'Reilly NOOK Manual

Online Privacy and Security

Whether you browse the Web with a computer or with your NOOK Tablet, there
are potential security and privacy dangers out there—cookies, pop-ups, and
malicious websites. The NOOK browser, just like its big—brother browsers on
computers, includes the tools you need to keep you safe and protect your pri-
vacy when you browse the Web.
You get at all the privacy and security settings via the browser's Settings
menu. When you're in the browser, tap the Options Menu and choose More
Options➝Settings, and then scroll down to the Privacy Settings and Security
Settings areas to get at the most important settings.
Out of the box, the NOOK's privacy and security settings are configured to make
sure that you're safe and secure. So most likely, you won't need to change any
settings. But there are a few options and features you might want to know more
about, or that can be used to enhance your privacy, as you'll see in the next
sections.
