Discuss a few steps taken to maintain one's privacy when shopping online.
(32) VerifiedTo make sure one's online shopping experience is a good one,a customer can take a few additional steps to maintain his privacy:
1.Choose Web Sites That Are Monitored by Independent Organizations - Several independent organizations monitor the privacy and business practices of Web sites (e.g.,www.truste.com).
2.Avoid Having "Cookies" Left on the Machine - Many commercial Web sites leave cookies on the user's machine so that the owner of the site can monitor where the user goes and what he does on the site.To enhance one's privacy,a user should carefully manage his browser's cookie settings or get special "cookie management" software.
3.Visit Sites Anonymously - There are ways to visit Web sites anonymously.Using services provided by companies such as Anonymizer (www.anonymizer.com),one has a high degree of privacy from marketers,identity thieves,or even coworkers when surfing the Web.
4.Use Caution When Requesting Confirmation E-Mail - When one buys products online,many companies will send him a confirming e-mail message to let him know that the order was received correctly.A good strategy is to have a separate e-mail account,such as one that is available for viewing via a Web browser that one uses when making online purchases.
5.Beware What You Post or Say Online - As an old adage goes,"the Internet never forgets"; anything from status updates to Twitter messages to blog posts can be stored forever,and most information remains somewhere on the Web,even after the original page has long been taken down.It is safe to say that probably almost everybody engages in some regrettable activities at some point in time.Yet,having such activities appear on the Web can be devastating for one's career.
