Cache memory

The information or services you access with the WAP browser are temporarily saved in the cache memory of the phone. A cache is a buffer memory, which is used to store data temporarily.

If you tried to access or have accessed confidential information requiring passwords (for example, your bank account), clear the cache after each use.

To clear the cache from the menu, select Services > Clear the cache.

To clear the cache while browsing, select Options > Other options > Clear the cache.

Certificates

To use some WAP services, such as banking services, you need an authority certificate. Using the certificate can help you to improve the security of connections between your phone and a WAP server.

You can download the certificate from a WAP page if the WAP service supports the use of authority certificates. After the download, you can view the certificate, then save or delete it. If you save the certificate, it is added to the list of certificates in the phone.

Your phone alerts you if the identity of the WAP server or WAP gateway cannot be verified or is not authentic.

To view the list of authority certificates, from the menus, select Services >

Settings > Security settings > Authority certificates > Certificate list.

• ALLOW OR REJECT COOKIES

A cookie is data that a web site saves in your phone browser cache memory. The data can be, for example, your user information or your browsing preferences. Cookies will be saved until you clear the cache memory.
