It just gets you don't keep my cookies, browsing history and<br>
cache and don't send cookies from other sites. Here is some info.<br>

If you are on wi-fi hotspot, it will keep people from injecting stuff<br>
into your surfing.<br>

It means that you are accepting an unverified certificate. Someone could<br>
have inserted this certificate in the middle or it could be that the<br>

<br>
If it says https, it's encrypted to the web server. What<br>
happens on the other side of the web server is up to the maintainer of<br>
the web site. <br>
