After having watched the video showed in class on cookies and its potential harmful effects I had blocked sites on google chrome from collecting my data. Since I do purchase a lot of things online I wouldn’t like it if a company was gathering information on me. Now I know how ads pop up products I had been viewing the other day. I have also went ahead and deleted any personal information off of my Facebook. I have even taken the extreme as to using an alias name like “John Smith”, so that it would be very hard for employers or colleges to look me up. I’m also going to start using search engines where they do no track my searches. I understand it is helping the company gather information on what users are searching most but i believe its my right to keep that information between me and my laptop.
