Introduction
The tracker blocker, a feature of Threat Protection Pro™, prevents third-party trackers from following you online and collecting data about your habits. It actively blocks this monitoring as you browse, keeping your digital profile private from data brokers and advertisers.
How does the tracker blocker work?
- Reduces targeted advertising – Stops trackers from building a profile about you, which significantly reduces the number of intrusive, targeted ads you see.
- Helps prevent price discrimination – By hiding your browsing and shopping habits, it helps prevent online stores from using your data to show you inflated prices.
- Stops digital profiling – Blocks the collection of your data—such as location, device used, and political views—that companies use to create detailed profiles on you.
- Real-time privacy – Works constantly in the background to stop trackers as you browse, offering more immediate protection than a browser's private mode.
