How “Accept All” Shares Your Data and How to Protect Yourself

Clicking “Accept All” is something we do almost without thinking—but do you know what you’re really agreeing to? Understanding the Real Risks of Accepting All Cookies Online is a 3:15-minute training video that uncovers how this single click can give dozens—or even hundreds—of companies access to your personal information, browsing habits, and device data.

From news sites and social media platforms to food delivery and shopping apps, many reputable companies share your data with a vast network of partners. This video explains what kinds of information are collected—such as your device type, web activity, purchase history, and time spent on sites—even when you browse in private mode.

You’ll also learn practical steps to protect yourself that go beyond just ‘not accepting all cookies’: reject unnecessary cookies, adjust privacy settings, install ad blockers from trusted sources, and avoid automatic logins with services like Google, Apple, or Facebook.

Each version of this resource is custom-branded with your organization’s logo, making it a seamless fit for your security awareness program. Perfect for employee training, family outreach, or student education, this video empowers viewers to take control of their digital privacy and make safer online choices.
