Synopsis

Do you think the safety of surfing the Internet is a serious thing but you would like to better understand how to improve it?

THE PROBLEM. While browsing online, I often had the feeling of being observed, that there was someone who knew what interested me, what I was looking for on the web. I remember one day I was looking for a Stan Smith pair that I liked, to compare prices, and finally turned off the computer without buying anything. The same evening I turned on the PC to visit a blog and here ... a banner appears with the advertisement of a pair of shoes. So I asked myself: is it a coincidence? No it was not. Giants of the web such as Google, Facebook and many others track the habits and interests of their users to profile them and sell this information to advertising agencies, drawing up a profile of our person.

WHAT WE CAN DO. This book is the result of my personal experience and contains several tricks for safe surfing, providing understandable details on how our online activities can be tracked by third parties and how this can be avoided.

Inside, you'll find :

• Why we should worry about our privacy
• What are the methods used by IT companies to track users
• How we can protect ourselves from tracking
• What we mean when we talk about DeepWeb and DarkNet
• How we can secure local data
  

★ If you care about your privacy, your identity, and you want to protect it, this book is probably for you.
