Hi everyone,
Online shopping is upon us! If you've ever wanted to learn about managing your privacy in today's digital world, Thursday's online class is for you.
In this introductory lecture, we’ll review how ads target us online, how to limit tracking, where to find browser settings, and extensions to better control how our information is shared. We’ll also discuss some of the key features of password managers and why they’re a safe and secure option for when you have multiple passwords.
This online offering will take place on Thursday, 12/15 at 11:00am CST.
