Why This Matters
Every data point above is available to every website you visit โ without asking your permission. Combined, these signals create a unique "fingerprint" that can track you across the internet, even in incognito mode.
What Websites Do With This Data
- Ad targeting: Your location, device, and browsing habits determine which ads you see.
- Price discrimination: Some sites show different prices based on your device, location, or browsing history.
- Fingerprint tracking: Your unique combination of browser settings identifies you without cookies.
- Phishing customization: Hackers use your OS and browser version to craft convincing fake alerts.
5 Ways to Reduce Your Exposure
- Use a VPN. Masks your IP address and apparent location.
- Use Firefox with strict tracking protection. Blocks fingerprinting scripts by default.
- Install uBlock Origin. Prevents tracking scripts from loading.
- Disable unnecessary browser APIs. Extensions like CanvasBlocker limit fingerprinting.
- Use strong, unique passwords. Even if tracked, protect your accounts. Generate one now โ
