Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A secure website’s URL should begin with “https” rather than “http”. The “s” at the end of “http” stands for secure and is using an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connection. Your information will be encrypted before being sent to a server. Be sure to click on the “lock” icon to verify that a website is trustworthy.

Detailed explanation-2: -An HTTP cookie is a small amount of text that helps a website track information about a user across multiple pages of the website and personalize the user’s experience on the website. If you’ve ever logged into a website, a cookie kept you logged in across multiple pages.

Detailed explanation-3: -Check the SSL certificate. A secure URL always begins with “HTTPS” at the start instead of “HTTP”. Analyze if the site has a modern theme. Use security tools to evaluate the site. Check the URL. Be wary of security seals. Find out who owns the site. Escape spam. 08-Sept-2020
