The Digital Literary was "What are some tips for limiting data collection."Teaches us how to avoid cookies,ads,and possible viruses.This Is good because before this I did not know that companies store your Information,and sell your email address to other companies.I really enjoy learning about how to prevent viruses,ads,and etc.Ads are a dread I do not like them at all.Here are some tips for limiting data collection:

  • Don't provide your email address to mailing lists unless you need to do so
  • Avoid using the same website
  • Don't download search engine tool bars
  • Unsubscribe from list servers
  • Limit the number of times you click ads
  • Avoid "Too good to be true" Products
  • Disable Internet cookies
