profiles to private so that only approved friends can see their posts and information.

Encourage them to disable location services for apps that don't require it and to be cautious when sharing their whereabouts.

3. Cookies and Tracking: Help kids understand how websites and online services use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect data about
their browsing habits. Teach them how to clear their browsing history and cookies regularly to minimize tracking.

secure payment options and to avoid entering sensitive information on unsecured websites.

computer or accessing sensitive information on a public network.

8. Online Reputation: Help kids understand that their online actions can have real-world consequences and contribute to their digital reputation.
Encourage them to think carefully about what they post online and how it might be perceived by others, including potential employers and college
admissions officers.

appropriate restrictions and monitoring tools to ensure their children's safety and privacy.
