HTML

HTML tags mark the text on a web page in its most basic form. This is the most important markup language that can be used to create a webpage.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the code used to create websites. It tells the web browser how to display text and images on a web page.

HTML is a formal recommendation by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and is generally adhered to by all major web browsers, including both desktop and mobile web browsers.

HTML tags mark the text on a web page in its most basic form. This is the most important markup language that can be used to create a webpage. It is used to display text, images, audio, and video on a webpage.

HTML for web pages has two main sections: the head and the body. The head contains information about the page, while the body contains the content. Nested elements are additional HTML tags that surround other text or images.

Here's a basic example of a Login Page in HTML code:

<!DOCTYPE html>    
<html>    
<head>    
    <title>Login Form</title>    
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">    
</head>    
<body>    
    <h2>Login Page</h2><br>    
    <div class="login">    
    <form id="login" method="get" action="login.php">    
        <label><b>User Name     
        </b>    
        </label>    
        <input type="text" name="Uname" id="Uname" placeholder="Username">    
        <br><br>    
        <label><b>Password     
        </b>    
        </label>    
        <input type="Password" name="Pass" id="Pass" placeholder="Password">    
        <br><br>    
        <input type="button" name="log" id="log" value="Log In Here">       
        <br><br>    
        <input type="checkbox" id="check">    
        <span>Remember me</span>    
        <br><br>    
        Forgot <a href="#">Password</a>    
    </form>     
</div>    
</body>    
</html>

HTML5 is the latest version of the specification.

HTML and Privacy

It is important for privacy engineers to be able to identify HTML syntax to be able to detect hidden tracking and privacy risks on a website.

Tracking scripts that allow the third-party APIs to collect and provide analytics features or tracking Pixels and many other ad networks place their own code snippets to the <head> section of an HTML page.

Websites can also use <iframe> elements to embed content from another site similar to tracking technologies that might use webhooks and other API calls that collect personal information from the visitors of the website.
