What is a digital footprint?
Whenever you use the internet, you leave behind a trail of information known
as your digital footprint. A digital footprint grows in many ways – for example,
posting on social media, subscribing to a newsletter, leaving an online review,
or shopping online.
Sometimes, it’s not always obvious that you are contributing to your digital
footprint. For example, websites can track your activity by installing cookies
on your device, and apps can collate your data without you knowing it. Once
you allow an organisation to access your information, they could sell or share
your data with third parties. Worse still, your personal information could be
compromised as part of a data breach.

- 4. Why do digital footprints matter?
•They are relatively permanent, and once the data is public – or even
semi-public, as may be the case with Facebook posts - the owner has
little control over how others will use it.
•A digital footprint can determine a person’s digital reputation, which
is now considered as important as their offline reputation.
•Employers can check their potential employees’ digital footprints,
particularly their social media, before making hiring decisions.
Colleges and universities can check their prospective students’
digital footprints before accepting them too.
•Words and photos which you post online can be misinterpreted or
altered, causing unintentional offence.
•Content intended for a private group can spread to a broader circle,
potentially damaging relationships and friendships.
•Cybercriminals can exploit your digital footprint – using it for
purposes such as phishing for account access or creating false
identities based on your data.

Can you think of a synonym for
‘strong’ that keeps the meaning in

account’
Watch the video, then try to make a strong password
of your own!
Then, check your password using the website!

- 9. CAPTCHA: Telling Humans and
Computers Apart Automatically
A CAPTCHA is a program that protects
websites against bots by generating and
grading tests that humans can pass but
current computer programs cannot. For
example, humans can read distorted text as
the one shown below, but current computer
programs can’t.
Why might we use CAPTCHA? Why is
it important to tell the difference?
Watch the video:
What are the benefits of using reCAPTCHA?
Why was it created? What is a ‘bot’?
A bot is a software application that is programmed to do
certain tasks. Bots are automated, which means they run
according to their instructions without a human user
needing to manually start them up every time. Bots often
imitate or replace a human user's behaviour. Typically,
they do repetitive tasks, and they can do them much
faster than human users could.

information.
Use different fonts, colours and pictures to
