Assignments > Tutorial 1: Analyze an Internet Platform

Due on Fri, 01/26 @ 11:59PM. 6 Points.

In today’s tutorial, we will examine how platforms and ad networks store, analyze and act on the data they collect about their users, and specifically how this works on a Web Browser. To do this, we will first define some technical concepts and terms (e.g., HTTP requests, cookies, and third-party cookies, etc.), and then complete a hands-on activity.
