Do Not Track Plus is a free online privacy tool that makes it easy for anyone to see when they are being tracked online and stop being profiled by social networks, large advertisers, and data collection companies, including Google and Facebook.
The average web user is tracked by more than 100 technologies every day. Do Not Track Plus stops them and helps us to protect our privacy online.
Features of Do Not Track Plus

Once installed, Do Not Track Plus blocks hundreds of trackers that collect, use, and sell consumers’ personal information. The tool works seamlessly with all major browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. It blocks tracking across hundreds of websites, including those with whom consumers share most of their personal information.
Do Not Track Plus speed up website loading by up to four times, and allows consumers to see who is tracking them on each website they visit with a simple numbered icon in the corner of their browser window.
Consumers can elect to block or allow the tracking at the individual website level. By doing so, consumers regain control of information while shopping, playing games, socializing, and more, and prevent real problems that can occur from profiling such as identity theft, reduced credit score ratings, and loss of employment
