SecureMac, creator of the critically acclaimed consumer privacy software, PrivacyScan, continues its initiative to raise awareness of online privacy issues with the release of an infographic to help people understand internet cookies.
The PrivacyScan cookie infographic aims to educate Internet surfers, allowing them to make more informed decisions about managing their privacy effectively. It explains cookies, what data they store, how they store it and the privacy threats that can occur. SecureMac CEO, Nicolas Raba stated in an interview that:
“There’s a lot of tech terminology flying around online these days, and we feel that few people understand what a web cooking really is. Without understanding the implications of cookies, it’s difficult to make an informed decision about online privacy.”

The infographic released covers all the key points to help users understand:
- What the term ‘cookie’ means specifically in the context of the web
