Lesson 6:
Privacy on the Internet & Cookies

Information gathering...

When you visit Web sites, the company is probably collecting information about you.

Perhaps this collection process is done with your permission.

• For example, you want to take advantage of the site's services, so you complete a registration form. You should, though, be aware of how this information will be used before providing it.

Sometimes information is being gathered behind the scenes, and you aren't even aware of it.
