Cookies and Selling Data

HEADS UP KIDS!!!! Did you know that most commercial Websites sell your data to other companies? Have you ever looked up something on google, then later see ads about that thing you were looking for on another site? It's because sites may give other sites your information, using something called cookies. No, not that kind.

These digital cookies allow you to be tracked online by what you click on. Cookies are a part of being online, but you can block them if you are smart! Since the other sites know your information (or things you are looking up) they know things you are interested in so they put ads up based on the thing that you were looking up.
