Who's Watching You on the Web
I read who is watching you on the web? by PCworld.com. The article is about how your history online is being tracked. Many different companys are getting accustomed to our surfing habits today. Many people who use the web know about cookies, although their are many people who dont have knowledge of cookies and are not aware of what it can do. Cookies is when little file websites store on you computers hard drive to identify you. Cookies can track your log in process and more. Double Click is similar to cookies, its an advertisement. This tracks your browser activity on all sited which it will pop up in many different banner ad's. When you are online many times advertisers are building profiles of you and your online habits. This article made me realize that you will never have any kind of privacy when surfing the web because the majority of the time when your online your running into new pop ups.
