Firefox has a feature that lets you tell websites not to track your browsing behavior. Learn what tracking is, how the feature works and how to turn it on.

You should be aware that many companies build a profile of sites you visit. Checking this option means that you are ok with that. *'''Do not tell sites anything about my tracking preferences''': This is the default setting. Choosing this option will not tell websites anything about your preferences. You should note that this does not mean that you will not be tracked. In fact it's effectively the same as the previous option, and you are likely going to be tracked. {/for} [[Template:ShareArticle|link=http://mzl.la/I0d2p0]]
