Disable Websites fromTracking You For BetterPrivacy

Cookies are one of the main
components of a browser, they
are used to store logins etc.
Many ad agencies store cookies
which track you all over the web.
These cookies will personalize
the ads you see on the web.
Most of the people don’t like this
as this is kind of privacy
intrusion and may be you’re one
of them. If you are so curious to
know the sites which are
tracking you, there are a few
tools to do so.
Collusion
Collusion is an interactive way to
know who’s tracking you, in
real-time. It’s actually a Firefox
add-on, once it’s installed, head
on to their site(on Firefox) and
start browsing as you would
normally do. After a few seconds
of browsing you will see an
interactive image showing dots
which correspond to sites.
Features of Collusion
An interactive way to track your
trackers in real-time.
Each dot correspond to a
website (which is tracking you).
The red ones are confirmed
trackers and the grey ones are
not confirmed, but that doesn’t
mean that they don’t track you.
Hover your cursor over a dot to
know more about it.
Unfortunately Collusion doesn’t
have a feature to block the
detected trackers, but Firefox
has an inbuilt feature to block
trackers, you can enable this
feature from the options
window (image below).

Ghostery
As Collusion is Firefox-only,
Chrome users can make use of
Ghostery which is quite similar
to Collusion but also gives an
option to block trackers.
Features of Ghostery
When you load a website after
installing Ghostery, you get the
trackers and respective info
under it (as shown in the image).
Click on More info to get extra
information about the trackers,
you can view what data each
tracker collects from you.
Block trackers, this one is an
experimental feature. If you’re
not satisfied with Ghostery’s
performance in blocking
trackers, you may try Keep My
Opt Outs for Chrome.

care about privacy? We like to
hear that in the comments.
