Modern websites and services collect extensive data about you, often without your knowledge, to track your behaviour, build profiles on you, and deliver targeted ads.

These guides gather user-friendly methods to give you greater control over your online experience. The guides mention methods and tools to limit tracking through browser fingerprinting, cookie profiling, ad targeting, location tracking and more.

Some of these guides include mentions of some apps and services that we've used at PI. The guides are not endorsements nor have we carried out in-depth assessments. We urge you to enquire into the suitability of these tools and to review each product's policies and features. Sometimes your browsing experience may be negatively affected. Please share with us your own experiences and findings!
