The cookies are stored on your device when the website is loaded on your browser. Cookies are widely used to \u201cremember\u201d you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a \u201csession cookie\u201d) or for multiple repeat visits (using a \u201cpersistent cookie\u201d).

Third-party cookies do gather personally identifiable information, such as those listed above, and use that information for profiling visitors. Personal data gathered through both first- and third-party cookies may be sold.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nBoth websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as \u201cweb beacons\u201d or \u201cpixels.\u201d These are typically small transparent images that provide statistics, for similar purposes as cookies, including online surveillance. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.\r\n\r\n \r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can you begin to protect your digital privacy?<\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nYou do have the ability to control cookies, either restricting them or completely preventing cookies from being set.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nMost browsers provide for ways to control cookie behavior such as the length of time they are stored\u2014either through built-in functionality or by utilizing third party plugins.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nBrowser Settings:\r\n\r\n \r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/en-US\/kb\/cookies-information-websites-store-on-your-computer?redirectslug=Cookies&amp;redirectlocale=en-US#w_cookie-settings\">Firefox Cookie Settings<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/chrome\/answer\/95647?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&amp;hl=en\">Chrome Cookie Settings<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/safari\/manage-cookies-and-website-data-sfri11471\/mac\">Safari Cookie Settings<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/help\/17442\/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies\">Internet Explorer Cookie Settings<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\nCookie Blocking Plugins:\r\n\r\n \r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghostery.com\/\">Ghostry<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eff.org\/issues\/do-not-track\">Do Not Track<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookiepro.com\/products\/cookie-consent\/cookie-auto-blocking\/\">Cookie Auto-Blocking<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/adblockplus.org\/\">Adblock Plus<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n\r\nTo find out more on how to manage and delete cookies, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/aboutcookies.org\/\">aboutcookies.org<\/a>.

Rather than charge people for the content on or services provided by a website, personal information about visitors is sold to third-party companies. These companies then repackage that data and sell access to other companies.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWe do have some, limited ability to see what information has been gathered about us and how we have been profiled based on that information by looking at a website or platform&#8217;s &#8220;ad settings.&#8221;\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe following could help you see how you have been profiled:\r\n\r\n \r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/datacloudoptout.oracle.com\/registry\/\">Oracle Data Cloud Registry<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/adssettings.google.com\/authenticated\">Google Ads Settings<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ads\/preferences\/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen%20-%20_%3D_#_=_\">Facebook Ad Preferences<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/settings\/your_twitter_data\">Your Twitter Data<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/accounts\/login\/?next=\/accounts\/access_tool\/\">Instagram\u2019s Ads Interests<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What laws are there to protect my digital security?<\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nIn the last few years, there have been some developments in laws designed to protect individual&#8217;s digital privacy and security. Most notable are the <a href=\"https:\/\/gdpr.eu\/what-is-gdpr\/\">General Data Protection Regulation (GDRP) of the European Union<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oag.ca.gov\/privacy\/ccpa\">California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)<\/a>.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nThe GDRP went into effect on May 25, 2018 and is considered the toughest privacy and security law in the world. The GDPR provides the following rights regarding data privacy:\r\n\r\n \r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>The right to be informed<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The right of access<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The right to rectification<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The right to erasure<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The right to restrict processing<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The right to data portability<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The right to object<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n \r\n\r\nAlthough the GDPR is mostly focused on protecting citizens of the European Union, it does offer protections for individuals outside the EU and any website that collects information from citizens of the EU is subject to the law. Thus, the GDRP provides limited protections for non-EU citizens. For more information see this article:<a href=\"https:\/\/gdpr.eu\/companies-outside-of-europe\/\"> gdpr.eu\/companies-outside-of-europe\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nCCPA preserves data privacy rights for California residents. It affects any websites at collects information about California and provides limited protection to non-CA residents, similar to the GDPR. The CCPA provides the following rights:\r\n\r\n \r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n \t<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oag.ca.gov\/privacy\/ccpa#sectionc\">right to know<\/a> about the personal information a business collects about them and how it is used and shared;<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oag.ca.gov\/privacy\/ccpa#sectione\">right to delete<\/a> personal information collected from them (with some exceptions);<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oag.ca.gov\/privacy\/ccpa#sectionb\">right to opt-out<\/a> of the sale of their personal information; and<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oag.ca.gov\/privacy\/ccpa#sectionf\">right to non-discrimination<\/a> for exercising their CCPA rights.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n \r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Me<\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nTo contact me about this website&#8217;s digital security, please email me at w [dot] l [dot] james [at] tcu [dot] edu.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAll other websites in compliance with the GDRP and CCPA should also provide information about how to contact them about privacy concerns.\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I believe it is my responsibility to provide education about digital privacy (or lack thereof) on the web, not only about this website.
