Is this possible?

I work in a rather large company of around 200 employees, I am desk based so the majority of the day I find myself browsing this forum and facebook etc.

I am sure to delete my history every evening, but could it possibly be saved on a server somewhere whereby they can access and check it at any time regardless?
 
Yes in theory. Whether they'll care or not is another matter. IT have better things to do. If it's places like this forum or FB I wouldn't care... if it's other imageboards or similar places, I'd have cause for concern.
 
For the record I only ever post on here, and check facebook every now and then.

Probably more than I should do tbh, but then my role is sales based and the majority of my day is spent cold calling and sourcing/researching companies online, so I hope that it would dilute my history.
 
I read the thread as " Worst tracking in internet History" lol, But yes they do track things, Keyloggers etc.
 
This page will tell you if your going through a proxy, though its not 100%

I work in IT and i couldn't care less what other people are browsing (we block porn etc anyhow), but we can and do pull up reports for managers from time to time. So unless your under performing then i wouldnt worry to much
 
Well the site told me I've not come from a proxy. Not sure what that means in this situation? Could you explain?

Its certainly not impacting my performance, just what hate the awkward moment when/if I get pulled up on it.
 
They will definitely be tracking what you do. But so long as your not doing anything illegal, NSFW or letting it get in the way of your job, they wont care.

My place actually has a fair personal use policy.

It means if they do monitor you they do it a bit more stealthy or not at all.
Try the cache test but even that wont expose them all

I think with https they can only see what domains you are visiting and not what individual pages but I am not entirely sure. But they definitely can't see your username and password.
You could also use an ssh tunnel but I would say it's not a good idea unless you are on your lunchbreak in which case they have no reason to know what you are looking at.
 
Unless you are spending most of the day on the internet or looking/doing “naughty stuff” then I wouldn't start worrying about it.
