I think it's about everything we do online, like posts and comments.
Exactly! It's the record of your online activities. There are two types: active and passive. Student_2, can you tell us the difference?
Active is what we share intentionally, like social media posts, and passive is what gets collected without our knowledge, like tracking cookies.
