Starting from the sale of products, political campaigning, in almost all cases, the collection of consumer / voter information is first and priority as the main job. Because in the initial stage, if a consumer is interested in what kind of product, or if a voter supports a team, then the advertisement of the product or the voter's election campaign becomes quite easy.
It also collects information from users based on online news media, video products, and media, which sell products directly, to increase the quality of services. Considering these aspects, almost every online-based organization is interested in collecting information about ordinary people. And the technical method of collecting this information is now known as 'Web Tracking'.
Web tracking is currently quite a concept. Most Internet users know that service providers keep an eye on their Internet-based activities and they also have the ability to track each step of the user, even if everyone knows it. After the Facebook-Cambridge Analytics Data Scandal, it has become clear to all that companies have the chance to earn millions of dollars by selling user information.
Besides, e-commerce-based products have become quite popular among the buying and selling facilities, and new competition is being created, and competition is increasing. And since such organizations are advertising based on the choice of consumers based on the likes and dislikes of social media through internet-based advertising, it can be said that the organization that has more information than the user will be able to present their products to the user the fastest and the best and the competition Run ahead That is, though the information of ordinary users is seemingly ordinary, the organizations have appropriate value for these.
While there is a general idea about web tracking, many are not aware of its harmful aspects. And since the rescue from trackers is technically difficult, many people avoid the whole thing. But imagine, once you have an unknowable eye in every of your activities. Taking millions of dollars by selling your personal information. They are using them for many illegal activities including blackmailing. Even in this world of technology, you can easily become victim of identity fraud.
Also, regular use of regular internet, including visa, banking, is directly involved with our daily living. Most of the information used in this type of work, such as passwords, code codes used in bank transactions, home addresses are mostly quite sensitive. You can lose all your lost money when you come to a dishonest person, you can lose your true identity. And since these types of tasks are required to be fully edited through web browsing, your information can easily go under various internet-based organizations.
As the day progresses, the increase in web technology is increasing. As well as the technology used to provide you / your information is improving. That means no one can completely avoid web tracking. But because web tracking technology is managed based on certain terms like cookies, flash cookies, server logs, browser fingerprints and web bunes, adequate concepts of these will help you to protect your privacy from a lot of harmless trackers.
Cookies
Cookies are some small text files that are created by the browser and stored on the user's device. When users send requests to the website's HTTP server through a browser to visit a particular website, the website sends some cookies to the browser as well as their desired content. The browser then saves them in cache memory and sends a copy of the stored cookies to that website address.
The whole process basically puts the browser user data for future websites for easier access to certain websites. In other words, the more the user is connected to that website, the more websites will be aware of the user's activity and will keep a version of the browser as well as save the data of cache memory activities in the form of cookies. Also, the user ID, password-saving, is also essentially the login section of the website, in the Cookies section.
Browser Fingerprinting is worse than cookies
Cookies can be closed for a particular website, avoiding it in different ways. There is also no reason to worry about security without third-party cookies. But the browser fingerprinting is quite awful in this case. In this method of web tracking, trackers use certain scripts, which allow you to track all kinds of information about your smartphone, laptop or device which is browsing the internet.
Tracker can handle many important information including device model, browser extension, plug-in, location, language, timezone, device-screen resolution, installed font.
