How to keep your email account safe
There are a few things you can do to stay safe from the cookie thieves:

. Use security software on every device you use.. Keep your devices and the software on them up to date, so there aren’t any known vulnerabilities on them.

. Decide whether you think it’s worth using the Remember me option. Is convenience worth the risk in this situation?

. Delete cookies, or—even better—log out when you are done. That should also remove or invalidate the session ID from the server, so nobody can use it to log in, even if they have the session cookie.

. Only visit sites with a secure connection (HTTPS) to protect your data from being intercepted during transmission.

. For important accounts regularly check the log in history where you can see which devices logged in when and from where. You should be able to find this option in your account settings.
