Reduce online information sharing
It's no secret that surfing the Web involves sharing personal information. The big web companies know almost everything about you. While it's almost impossible to completely eliminate the collection of your data, here are a few tips to limit it.
Understand and manage cookies
These files, installed on your hard drive while browsing, allow companies to store information about you and your online behavior. A goldmine for businesses!
