Privacy and security

Check if a site’s connection is secure

Citrix Enterprise Browser enhances your browsing security by notifying you if it detects an unsafe website. When a website is unsafe, the browser changes the icon next to the website address. On the address bar, check the following security icons:

• Default (Secure)
• Information (Not secure)
• Not secure (Dangerous)

You can click the icon to see more information on the website’s privacy details and permissions.

Note:

A URL with HTTPS signifies a secure connection. Websites using HTTPS offer a higher level of security compared to those websites without it.

Enable Citrix Enterprise Browser alerts for unsecured connection

If you want the Enterprise Browser to ask you before you use an unsecured connection, do the following instructions:

1. At the upper-right corner of Citrix Enterprise Browser, click > Settings > Privacy and security > Security.
2. Under Advanced, turn on Always use secure connections.

When Always use secure connections is on, if a website doesn’t support HTTPS, the Enterprise Browser displays a Your connection is not private warning.

Manage certificates

On your Windows and Mac devices, Citrix Enterprise Browser uses website certificates to authenticate and secure HTTPS connections. These certificates encrypt the communication between the website and the Enterprise Browser.

To review the certificates on your device:

1. At the upper-right corner of Citrix Enterprise Browser, click > Settings > Privacy and security > Security.
2. Under Advanced, click Manage certificates.

Turn “Do Not Track” on or off

Citrix Enterprise Browser includes the Do Not Track setting that allows you to request websites not to track your browsing activity. This setting is turned off by default.

Some websites might ignore this request and still collect your data for various purposes, such as improving security, personalizing content, and displaying relevant ads. Many websites don’t change their behavior in response to “Do Not Track” requests. Citrix Enterprise Browser doesn’t provide information about which websites respect these requests or how they interpret them.

1. On your computer, open Citrix Enterprise Browser.
2. Click More > Settings.
3. Click Privacy and security > Third-party cookies.
4. Turn Send a “Do not track” request with your browsing traffic on or off.

Incognito browsing mode

Citrix Enterprise Browser’s Incognito mode helps keep users’ browsing activities private from other users of the same device. When users open an Incognito window, a new browsing session starts. Any other Incognito windows opened are part of this session. Closing all Incognito windows ends the session.

In Incognito mode, the browsing history, cookies, site data, and information entered in forms aren’t saved on the user device. It prevents user activity from appearing in the browser history. Websites treat users as new visitors unless they sign in to their accounts. When users exit all Incognito windows, the Enterprise Browser automatically deletes any website data and cookies linked to that specific browsing session.

Incognito mode does not make users anonymous. Administrators can still monitor users’ activities if the organization manages the Enterprise Browser.

Note:

When opening an Incognito window, users can enable the Block third-party cookies toggle for increased privacy.

2. Toggle the Memory Saver option on or off.
