This is a field filled in by the web site (not always) so when you follow a link the browser can tell the (next) web site where you came from. Since this offers the possibility of tracking your browsing behavior the Proxy Server offers the ability to control this information.

The default is to allow passage of referrer information. However you can choose to Block All Referrers in which case the entry is replaced with the Default Referer entry (if it exists).

Referer depends on cookie is based on Cookie Trust. If the web site is trusted with cookies at least allowed into the browser then the original referer field is returned otherwise the default referer is returned.

The default referer is not editable in the shareware version of the Proxy Server.
