In only five years, the Trackers have come to know us intimately, our likes, dislikes, interests, friends, family, education, income, and political preferences, all based on our browsing history.

Find out how to limit the release of personal data that could cost you your job, cause you to lose a promotion, deny you insurance, make you pay higher credit or travel fees, feed you false search results, exploit your children, or manipulate your opinions.
