Avast AntiTrack Premium
Websites use the data they collect about you to build a unique profile that advertisers can use to identify you. Our tracking protection software alerts you to and blocks snoopers who are trying to learn about you.
What do advertising brokers know?
Based on your regular online activities and device or browser settings, advertising intermediaries build a unique digital profile about you, which they use to recognize you among other visitors. Based on this, they then display targeted advertising to you.
What does your family see?
Have you searched for something online? Your family can easily see what you've looked at and searched for in the past, and it can pop up in your browser at the most inopportune times. And ads for products you've purchased or searched for can be shown to your entire family.
What do data mining tools do?
The more you browse the internet, the more you reveal about yourself. Your bank, health insurance company, or even your favorite store collects vast amounts of information about you using data mining tools. One data breach is enough to have you in trouble. You never know who will get their hands on your digital profile or how it will be handled.
VPNs don't block tracking
A VPN is like Superman, even if he takes off his glasses and puts on his superhero costume, you still know he's Clark Kent. While a VPN encrypts your connection, protects you on public Wi-Fi, and masks your location, it can no longer stop ad servers from tracking and identifying you based on your device and browser settings.
