LESSON 2 · Who's Watching You? Digital Privacy

Reducing Your Tracking Footprint

Minimize tracking with these layered defenses:

  • Block third-party cookies — every major browser offers this setting
  • Use Firefox or Brave — both can block or randomize fingerprinting scripts
  • Install uBlock Origin — it stops tracking scripts before they run, blocking both cookies and fingerprinting

Clear cookies regularly, or use containers to keep sites separate. For sensitive searches, open a private window to start with a fresh session. The arms race between trackers and privacy tools keeps escalating.
