■ Security settings Cookies and cache A cookie is data that a site saves in the cache memory of your phone. Cookies are saved until you clear the cache memory. While browsing, select Options > Other options > Security > Cookie settings; or in the standby mode, select Menu > Web > Web settings > Security > Cookies. To allow or prevent the phone from receiving cookies, select Allow or Reject. A cache is a memory location that is used to store data temporarily. If you have tried to access or have accessed confidential information requiring passwords, empty the cache after each use. The information or services you have accessed are stored in the cache. To empty the cache, select Options > Other options > Clear the cache; in the standby mode, select Menu > Web > Clear the cache. Scripts over secure connection You can select whether to allow the running of scripts from a secure page. The phone supports WML scripts. To allow the scripts, while browsing, select Options > Other options > Security > WMLScript settings; or in the standby mode, select Menu > Web > Web settings > Security > WMLscript > Allow. ■ Browser security Security features may be required for some services, such as online banking or shopping. For such connections you need security certificates and possibly a security module, which may be available on your SIM card. For more information, contact your service provider. Certificates Important: Even if the use of certificates makes the risks involved in remote connections and software installation considerably smaller, they must be used correctly in order to benefit from increased security. The existence of a certificate does not offer any protection by itself; the certificate manager must contain correct, authentic, or trusted certificates for increased security to be available. Certificates have a restricted lifetime. If "Expired certificate" or "Certificate not valid yet" is shown, even if the certificate should be valid, check that the current date and time in your device are correct. Before changing any certificate settings, you must make sure that you really trust the owner of the certificate and that the certificate really belongs to the listed owner. There are three kinds of certificates: server certificates, authority certificates, and user certificates. You may receive these certificates from your service provider. Web 47

Certificates
Important:
Even if the use of certificates makes the risks involved in remote
connections and software installation considerably smaller, they must be used
correctly in order to benefit from increased security. The existence of a certificate
does not offer any protection by itself; the certificate manager must contain correct,
authentic, or trusted certificates for increased security to be available. Certificates have a
restricted lifetime. If "Expired certificate" or "Certificate not valid yet" is shown, even if the
certificate should be valid, check that the current date and time in your device are correct.
Before changing any certificate settings, you must make sure that you really trust the owner
of the certificate and that the certificate really belongs to the listed owner.
There are three kinds of certificates: server certificates, authority certificates, and
user certificates. You may receive these certificates from your service provider.
