When is the last time you deleted your cookies?
We are warned a lot about online privacy – and unfortunately
there’s not much we can do to be completely invisible to trackers and
scammers. There are a few things we CAN
do to reduce our profile. Clearing the
cookie cache is a start. Cookies are
computer files stored to remind sites who we are and make it easier for them to
track our movements online. By clearing
the cookies and deleting those saved files we force them to start from scratch
with each visit.
Another profile lowering trick is to visit a browser page
before and after each website we land on.
Each site tracks where we came from and where we go from their
page. Visiting a generic site like Yahoo
in between each page shortens our profile and says a lot less about our
browsing habits.
