                     DIGITAL FOOTPRINTS


                  Footprints are the marks we leave as we walk. Similarly, a digital footprint
                  is the trace a user leaves while using the Internet.
                  A digital footprint  refers  to the marks or  footprints left behind when
                  someone uses the Internet. Actions like sending emails, sharing attachments,
                  or uploading videos and images leave personal information accessible to
                  others online. This is also known as a digital dossier.
                  How to Delete Digital Footprints

                  When you work online, you leave digital footprints that others could use, positively or negatively.
                  To protect yourself, follow these guidelines:
                     Regularly delete your browsing history and cookies.

                     Adjust your privacy settings so only family and friends can see your posts.
                     Always upload appropriate content.
                     Use strong, unique passwords for each account, and change them regularly.
                     Remember, anything posted online is public, even with private settings, as it's stored on a
                     server.







                        The Internet is also called "the NET" or "Network of Networks", which signifies its role as
                       a global interconnected network.

                        Internet ethics are guidelines for responsible online behaviour.
                        Unethical practices refer to actions that are considered morally wrong or inappropriate,
                       either for an individual, profession, or industry.
