Tracking Protection Lists
Control what third-party sites can track you while you’re online.
Below are several Tracking Protection Lists (also called TPLs) created by companies and organizations that want to help consumers understand and make choices about their online privacy. You can add individual lists by clicking the "Add TPL" links on the right side of the page. To manage your lists, click on the Tools button, point to Safety, then click Tracking Protection. These tracking protection lists were created by their respective authors, who are solely responsible for maintaining the lists and for their content. Microsoft does not control any of these lists. Click here for answers to commonly asked questions about TPLs.
Tracking Protection Lists help prevent the websites you go to from automatically sending details about your visit to other content providers. Additionally, when you have a Tracking Protection List or Personalized Tracking Protection enabled, Internet Explorer 9 will send a Do Not Track preference or signal to the websites you visit. It will also send a Do Not Track preference to the third party websites that provide content on the websites you visit if those third party sites have not been blocked by your Tracking Protection List. Websites may continue to engage in activities you might view as tracking even though you have expressed this preference, depending on the websites' privacy practices. learn more
enhance your privacy with Tracking Protection Lists
The gallery contains several Tracking Protection Lists created by organizations that want to help people make choices about their online privacy.
- How do Tracking Protection Lists work?
Some of the content, images, ads, and analytics that you see on the websites you visit are provided by third-party websites. While this content can provide value to both you and your favorite websites, this third-party content can be used to track your behavior across multiple sites. Tracking Protection Lists help enhance your privacy and help protect you from online tracking by blocking such 3rd party content.
- Managing Tracking Protection Lists
Click on the Internet Explorer 9 Tools button, click Safety, and select Tracking Protection... to access the Tracking Protection Lists you have installed.
To enable, disable or remove a Tracking Protection List simply click on the list and choose one of the options at the bottom of the Window.
When Tracking Protection is filtering content on a website, a blue do not track icon
will appear in the address bar. Click on the icon to turn off Tracking Protection for that website.
To add a Tracking Protection List from the Gallery, click Add. A dialog box will then appear prompting you to add the list to your browser.
