If You Post A Link On Ab From A Phone …

… can it compromise your personal details?

Probably a stupid question … but I don’t know …. so can it?

No, if you mean a link to a website

A newspaper article for example.

No. Posting a link from any device doesn't include the cookies that can personalise a page.

So, for example, if I display my bank statement on either my PC or my phone, and then post a link to that web page here, all that will appear when the link is clicked on is an 'error' page from the Barclays website.

>>> A newspaper article for example

If you post a link to a newspaper article about someone called Naomi being involved in a sex romp with a bishop, we might start putting two and two together! Otherwise though, you're quite safe ;-)

Thanks for answering Barry and Chris. The question arose because I’ve never posted a link from my phone, not knowing if personal details could somehow be accessed through it, so I thought perhaps that was the reason others never post links. Now I know so thank you both very much.

Haha! If you ever see an article like that, chris, all I can say is lucky bishop! ;o)
