What is an SSL Certificate?

A Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL certificate, allows our site visitors to view our site over an HTTPS connection.  It secures the connection between your browser and the site you’re visiting. 

Our site is provided with an SSL certificate. You can see if our site has an SSL certificate as the URL begins with https:// instead of http://. 

 

What is HTTPS?

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the secure protocol through which your browser communicates with sites.

When using HTTP sites, any data that is transferred can potentially be accessed or manipulated by attackers. However, when using HTTPS sites, data is encrypted and authenticated and therefore secured.

We at https://www.artbymandy.com are committed to protecting your and your user's data.

 

Benefits of Using HTTPS

• Visitors' information is encrypted, and therefore more secure.

• Many users are more comfortable making purchases and sharing their personal information online when visiting secured sites.

• Starting early 2017, Google Chrome began displaying warnings anytime that a user visits a site that is not using HTTPS. Therefore if our site was not secured, site visitors will get a warning message anytime they access our site. 

• Google ranks HTTPS sites more favourably.
