Security
I tested the internet security of shopping online by using it to buy from Arsenal.com ticket office. The page requires membership number and password in order to be allowed in before purchasing anything. The login page address itself starts with “https:” which shows that it is a secure login. The https continues whilst inside the site during ticket selection, viewing the basket and in the section where you have to use your card details to obtain the tickets. The site also will ask your security question before proceeding. The page also if you have a ticket prevents you from using the back button as the page will be given as expired which shows it is a secure website.
Amazon
Amazon.com was founded in 1994 as the worlds 1st online only bookshop. With the development of the World Wide Web, Amazon quickly grew and started to sell more than books. In 1997 they both out Bookpages.co.uk which became Amazon UK for their overseas expansion. The site uses the review system which allows potential buyers to see if the seller is trustworthy or has a history of late and/or incorrect items delivered. The site has become the UK’s most used music and video retailer in 2009.
Supermarket
Online supermarkets are often used by people who are unable to get to the physical supermarket or find shopping online more convenient. In many of them, the site remembers what you ordered last time and leaves it in your basket the next time you come on via Cookies. The sites do offer not-in-store offers to those who shop online but they may miss the in-store ones. The system also is a bit less secure than actually purchasing in the physical shop.
