USE SECURE SITES
Avoid shopping with unknown retailers online as they may not necessarily be secure. Reputation of the site is very important,' explains Gareth Forbes, Head of Data and Analytics at Publicis Groupe Africa. The security emblem in your browser is very useful to provide you with information; basically you want an HTTPS website instead of HTTP this means that the site's information is encrypted when passed over the internet. You can see this by a green padlock on most browsers (at the beginning of a website's URL), meaning it is secure.' GUARD YOUR CARD 'It's always safer to not have any of your card details saved on a merchant's platform because of the risk of a privacy breach,' advises Forbes. Having to manually input credit card details for each purchase also helps you think twice before you swipe, possibly saving you cash, too!
