Be Cautious When Downloading Apps!

Secure Tips with Payguru #7:
Your Browser Needs Cleaning Too!
Many websites have access to your cookies, which are files that store your preferences, in order to show you more relevant ads. However, cookies can also be used by hackers to intercept your information. To avoid such threats, remember to clear your cookies from your browser on a monthly basis.
Secure Tips with Payguru #8:
Ensure Your Firewall is Strong!
A firewall is a digital barrier that prevents other devices from accessing your computer or smartphone. Firewalls are already present on many computers. When your computer performs a new update, it may also make important updates to your security settings. Keep track of these updates and ensure that you are up-to-date.
Secure Tips with Payguru #9:
Be Selective in E-Commerce!
E-commerce sites are required to comply with the Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) regarding the protection, storage, or processing of users’ personal data. Before making a purchase, ensure that the e-commerce site provides you with a clear information notice and obtains your explicit consent.
