Tracking protection allows you to take control of your privacy online. While Firefox has a Do Not Track feature that tells websites not to monitor your behavior, companies are not required to honor it. Firefox's Tracking Protection feature puts the control back in your hands by actively blocking domains and sites that are known to track users.

What is Tracking?

Tracking is the ability of a website to keep tabs on a user's activity using special software tools. Websites store information about your Internet activity into files called cookies. Many websites use cookies as a way to keep stats on your browsing history so they can target you with behavioral advertising.

Firefox prevents companies from collecting your information without your consent by blocking websites that do not honor Do Not Track.
