What I found

I found that when I go to my google ad settings, it shows the previous websites I visited and showed that I mostly visit restaurant and clothing websites

I was surprised that I had a much smaller digital footprint than I thought I would. My name honestly just leads to mostly obituaries and that was jarring.

One thing I learned about digital footprint is almost everyone would rather access their favorite websites instead of keep their privacy and data.

What I learned is that even small online actions like clicks, searches, or likes are tracked and can be used to build detailed profiles about us.

I was surprised to see I was still listed as one of the key employees at my old job that I have not been at for years, and that my name was one of the firsts to pop up.
