Title: IE9 and Privacy: Introducing Tracking Protection Post by: Tanya on December 09, 2010, 08:36:53 AM IE9 and Privacy: Introducing Tracking Protection
Today, consumers have very little awareness or control over who can track their online activity. Much has been written about this topic. With the release candidate: IE9 will offer consumers a new opt-in mechanism (“Tracking Protection”) to identify and block many forms of undesired tracking. “Tracking Protection Lists” will enable consumers to control what third-party site content can track them when they’re online. We believe that the combination of consumer opt-in, an open platform for publishing of Tracking Protection Lists (TPLs), and the underlying technology mechanism for Tracking Protection offer new options and a good balance between empowering consumers and online industry needs. They further empower consumers and complement many of the other ideas under discussion.
