About Site Seal

A site seal confirms that your website has been authenticated by GlobalSign and is available only to sites that have implemented SSL certificates. Displaying the seal helps reassure visitors that your site is secure and trustworthy, a practice already adopted by more than 10,000 websites.

To further highlight your security measures, you can add a short statement next to the seal indicating that your site is protected by SSL. This simple addition makes it clear to users that their data is encrypted and safe. For example, you might use phrases such as “This site is SSL protected,” “Your personal information on this site is protected by GMO GlobalSign's SSL,” or “Protected by GlobalSign SSL.”

The display of the site seal immediately shows that your website has been certified by GMO GlobalSign, a trusted third‑party certification authority. This helps users feel confident that they can browse and use your site securely. By clicking the site seal, typically displayed in the footer or bottom section of the page, visitors can view detailed profile information about your website. 

IMPORTANT: When the site seal is updated, the expiration date may not refresh right away because older information can remain cached. The updated details will appear automatically once the cache is refreshed.

Site Seal Copy Protection

Prevent image copying JavaScript suppresses right-click and prevents image copying. The gif-type seal is easy to copy, but the GMO Global Sign site seal cannot be copied.

Hidden on unauthenticated sites It is dynamically generated by JavaScript, so it cannot be displayed on unauthenticated sites. Even if you post a copied image, in the case of unauthorized use, the profile will not be displayed by left-clicking.  If the site viewer does not allow the use of JavaScript, a blank site seal will be displayed instead of a proper site seal. Please see the example image below.
