Privacychoice Stops Advertisers From Profiling You
2:00AM Lifehacker US Edition | Web site Privacychoice rolls the opt-out routines for a couple dozen advertising networks into a single javascript button—so you can stop them tracking you without having to mess with cookie settings. Most advertising networks provide a mechanism to opt out of their user tracking systems, which works by them placing a cookie on your computer that tells them not to track you. Privacychoice automates the process of submitting each of the forms, saving you a lot of time if privacy is your goal—though you could simply setup CCleaner to wipe cookies on a schedule to prevent anybody from tracking your behaviour online. Privacychoice is free, works in most browsers. Privacychoice [via gHacks] More »
