You need to add a position: absolute; to your footer, if you want it fixed or sticky.. add position: fixed; or position: sticky;

You can do this using position: fixed; and bottom: 0;

Something like this:

footer {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 30px; /* adjust to what fits for you */
}

Here's the demo: https://jsfiddle.net/damagex/10qsLcg8/
