Companies use various methods to sell their products. One method is by tracking what people look up or spend their time doing. Websites may collect the things you like on social media, what you look up online, your age group and even gender. Websites use this information to determine what you look up and what ads pop up on your screen. Websites use things called online tracking and targeting to determine what you look up. Pros of tracking and targeting is that it makes looking up things easier, but a negative about this is that websites know what you like and what you do online which invades your privacy. Three ways to prevent websites/companies from collecting information about you are disabling your cookies, installing software that prevents third parties from collecting your data and by limiting your use of the online web.
