footer

I. Description

The HTML footer element is used to act as a container for information that appears at the end of a piece of sectioning content; such as copyright information, date of publication information, authorship, or contact information, etc.

When the footer element is not inside of a sectioning element then it is treated as the footer for the entire web page.
