Your Digital Footprint
Tracking starts with the basics. This is the core data your browser broadcasts to every site you visit, forming the foundation of your profile.
Revealing your footprint...
Your Perceived Location
They don't just know *what* you do, they know *where* you are. Your IP address gives them a surprisingly accurate idea of your location, unless you hide it.
🌍 IP-Based Location (What They See)
This is where sites think you are based on your IP address. A VPN can change this.
Triangulating position...
📍 GPS/Wi-Fi Location (Your Real Location)
If you grant permission, they can get your exact location from your device's GPS or Wi-Fi.
Awaiting your permission...
Data Stored on Your Device
To remember you across the web, trackers leave digital breadcrumbs (cookies and other data) right here on your own device.
Your Unique Browser Fingerprint
Even without cookies, they can identify you. Your browser has a unique "fingerprint" made from dozens of tiny details about your system.

Stop The Tracking
You have the power to become a ghost online. Here are the most effective steps you can take to reclaim your privacy and stop the tracking.
- Block Trackers & Ads: Install uBlock Origin. It's the single most effective tool.
- Use a Privacy-First Browser: Switch to Firefox or Brave for strong, built-in protection.
- Hide Your IP Address: A trusted VPN service masks your true location from websites and your internet provider.
- Deny Permissions: Always deny requests for location, notifications, and other permissions unless absolutely necessary.
