Google and Facebook know about you

Really what Google knows and the about your person? Big tech companies are known to collect data. It's fashion, because every piece of information has a cost. Not alone of course.

Corporate algorithms collect all the information from your online ckick and build profiles. They then sell these profiles to advertising agencies, who can target your profile precisely with things that interest you.Google
One of the companies that follow this practice is Google, Google company that follows you when you are awake but also when you are asleep.
Now, however, Google has had to display the data it collects, as it has long been suspected of collecting too much data. 

But what data are we talking about?

There's a page where you can find out what Google knows about you - and of course what it sells to advertising companies.

So if one day you wonder who you are, you will find it on this settings page.

Google knows you very well. For me it knows I'm between 35 and 64 years old. That I'm interested in technology. He knows that I have my own house, I am interested in computers, I read books, I like restaurants and food in general.

Google knows I have and other vehicles. Google stores all of your YouTube history so it knows what you watch and what you like to listen to. It knows if you are a parent, if you are conservative, progressive, Christian or Muslim, if you are depressed or whatever.
