How do I manage my Cogeco Security profiles?

Before getting started: This article covers the latest version of Cogeco Security, which is available for free to all Cogeco Internet subscribers. Learn more about updating to the new version.

When you install Cogeco Security on a device, you’ll have the option to sign in as yourself using your main CLIENT profile, or to sign in with a child profile. You can set separate Family Rules for each child profile to make sure they’re only seeing appropriate content and/or limit their screen time.
