Step 2: What Does Your Browser Say About You?

Now that some key terminology has been defined it would be a good time to check in with the group, to see what they know about what is really going on behind the scenes when they browse the Web.
Set up some flip-chart paper and ask participants what kind of data is available to the websites they view. You can also add things they may have missed:
As a user, here is the various data that you create and potentially share each time you open your web browser:
•Browser characteristics
•Stored information: Any information you allow the browser to store such as passwords, addresses or credit card information
•Browsing history: all of the websites you have visited in the past
•Content: URL, text and images, and hidden content of past and current browsing
•Your precise, physical location
•IP address of the device being used to connect
