Emily often visits websites and reads articles, but she does not interact with the content, comment on posts, nor share articles she reads with others. She clears her browser history every week and deletes all cookies. Which of the following options describes Emily's digital footprint?

Question

Active digital footprint.


Both active and passive footprint.


Passive digital footprint


No digital footprint.

Answer 1

The correct option that describes Emily's digital footprint is Passive digital footprint.

A passive digital footprint refers to the data that is collected about a user without their direct interaction, such as the data created by browsing habits, location tracking, and cookies. Since Emily reads articles but does not interact with the content or share it, and she deletes her browser history and cookies, she has a minimal digital footprint, primarily passive in nature.
