Covering your tracks

While you are using this site

If you are concerned that someone else may come into the room while you are visiting this site and you do not want them to see what you are looking at, the quickest way to hide the site is usually just to close the window.

You can do that by clicking on the HIDE button on the screen (found on either the right hand side of the screen or the left hand side – depends on whether you are using a PC, or a phone to access the site)

If you can’t locate the HIDE button then an alternative is to close the window by using keys on the keyboard as follows:

It might be a good idea to remind yourself now of the keyboard command used to do this on your computer:

Windows: 'ALT' key and 'F4'
Apple Macintosh: 'Apple' key and 'W'

You could also open another browser window and leave it open at another website, placing it behind the window you are currently using (this site). This way, if you have to quickly close the main window, you will not be left looking at a blank screen.
