Active digital traces are data that a user consciously leaves on the Internet. For example, publications on social networks: posts, likes, photos and videos, comments on forums, completed forms, emails and messages. This also includes online purchases, reviews and comments about products, services and places.
Passive digital traces are information that is collected without the user's active participation. For example, location data, web browsing history, IP address, device data when connected to the Internet, metadata for photos and videos, cookies, and log files that track user actions.
