What is the difference between Covenant Eyes Accountability Reports and my computer’s history?

Internet history is recorded by the browser you use, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari. This history shows the websites addresses that appear in the address bar of your browser. At any time, you may easily erase the information stored in these logs.

Covenant Eyes, on the other hand, reveals a whole lot more, and the records cannot be erased because the information is stored on our servers rather than on your computer.

Covenant Eyes records and rates URLs for objectionable content.

What is a URL?

Most websites are made up of stories, links, photos, images, ads and art, and typically each of these elements are assigned an individual Web address called a URL. Covenant Eyes captures all URLs generated by your computer and then provides a rating for each one. It also captures the time and date when the URL (stories, images, etc.) appeared on your computer screen.

Therefore, Covenant Eyes captures all of the URLs you might expect to see within a browser’s list of Internet history, plus all of the URLs (photos, stories, ads, etc.) that make up each Web page viewed.

Covenant Eyes also captures URLs that are activated by spyware, which is often the source of pop-up ads.

Finally, Covenant Eyes captures URLs generated by computer programs, which access the Internet for updates, advertising, etc. Most of these program URLs go unnoticed and only appear in the Detailed Browsing Log.
