Easy method:

When you're browsing, if you're on a page that requires you to enter anything personal look at the address bar at the top

It should start https://... not http://...

Imagine that you're standing in a crowded pub, don't enter anything on an unsecured page that you wouldn't say loudly in that pub when talking on the phone...
