Safeguarding your online privacy shouldn’t mean disrupting the way you live and play. That’s why it’s smart to understand what it

means to protect yourself from the safety of your own home.

online accounts, so you don’t have to remember another password.

sharing.

 Use a screen lock to help protect your devices

 Clear your browsers search history

 Turn off “location services” on your devices

 Avoid torrent or piracy sites

▪ In 2018, Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania released a paper stating that the more time users spend on piracy

sites, the more likely they are to suffer a malware attack. According to the paper, every time users doubled their time

spent on these sites, the amount of malware on their computers increased by 20 percent.

 Install an antivirus security site

 Rethink your social media presence

 Empty cached files and images

 HTTPS everywhere

of your browser. If it doesn’t start with “https,” don’t log in.

▪ Do this through your Google account. Once you’re online and your browser is open, log onto

https://myaccount.google.com/. This should pull up your Google account page. If you’re not logged in, you might have

to first enter your password.

▪ Look for the “Personal Info & Privacy” box. Then click on “Ads Settings” in that box. When the “Ads Settings” box

opens, click on the link for “Manage Ads Settings.” This will bring up the “Ads Personalization” box. Click the toggle

bar in the upper-right-hand corner, turning it from “ON” to “OFF.”

▪ This will bring up one more popup box, this one asking if you really want to turn off personalized ads. If you do,

click the “TURN OFF” option at the bottom right-hand corner. Once you do this, Google will no longer send you

personalized ads.
