Abstract
We live in an era where almost everyone speaks about privacy or at least is aware of. The latest developments in GDPR and CCPA have raised the awareness of netizens and have sparked interesting discussions. But what does it really mean privacy? What are the elements that constitute our profile and how we can protect ourselves from revealing too much? In this presentation we will scratch the surface of what means online privacy and what constitutes data privacy (offline or on-the-fly anonymisation). We will give a walkthrough of the technologies involved and hopefully de-mystify some of the hypes around privacy.
