Introduction

This page includes the program and the resources for the module on privacy

Day one

Let's see how you are tracked

Install the Lightbeam and Ghostery extensions according to instructions

• Lightbeam. Will tell you who is spying on you. When you start it, it will track and visualize all websites that interact with your page and your browser.

• Ghostery is a browser plugin that “sees the invisible web - tags, web bugs, pixels and beacons. Ghostery tracks the trackers and gives you a roll-call of the ad networks, behavioral data providers, web publishers, and other companies interested in your activity.”
