kristykim on 30 Nov 14When we are browsing online, we do not think about electronic privacy and the personal information our computer leaves. Some may be aware of this, but some are not. Companies and other electronic sites are collecting our private information when we are browsing online. They keep track on the things we buy and things we may search. We need to protect our Internet privacy while surfing the Web and monitor the information our computer sends out. Another option you can do is to control your personal information online and offline. Although IP addresses can provide a fairly detailed summary of our computer, Web browser cookies provide a more complete profile of a user's preferences. Three types of cookies are sent out when we surf the Internet. The three types of cookies are session cookie, persistent cookie, and third-party ad-serving cookie.
