Every page opened and application used, every click, time spent on the page, mouse movements... All this and much more is tracked, recorded, analyzed and stored permanently. Why? Due to <strong>ad targeting<\/strong>, monetization of people&#039;s behavior and general optimization of website content leading to higher revenues from their operation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Your every move can be tracked on the internet<\/h2>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p>Your internet provider knows <strong>the address of each page you visit<\/strong>. And even if it doesn&#039;t know the exact content you&#039;re viewing, it gets a fairly accurate idea of what you&#039;re interested in.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p>The operators of individual websites are even better off, and then, of course, in particular <strong>Google itself<\/strong>. They can record and play back yours through programs invisible to the user (so-called JavaScript). <strong>exact interaction with that page<\/strong>. Yes, in the form of a video, as if they were watching under your hands and eyes, what you read, how you work with the website. Don&#039;t you believe? When you finish reading, take a look, for example, at the analysis tool <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartlook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Smartlook<\/a><\/strong>. They say on their website: &quot;Dive into the minds of your users in less than a minute.&quot; Isn&#039;t that cute? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lukasbarda.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/smartlook-1024x581.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figcaption>Example of recordings of playable user interactions in Smartlook<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<h2>What with this? Hide from cookies and block ads<\/h2>\n<p>The issue is very broad and we will certainly return to it many times on the blog. However, let&#039;s settle for now with such a beginning.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<p>Well, can you do something about it as an individual? Yes, sure! But everything costs something, and it depends entirely on you, how much it bothers you and how far you are willing to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A few recommendations on how to avoid tracking on the Internet<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<h4>1. Stop searching through Google<\/h4>\n<p>It already exists today <strong>many search alternatives of equal quality<\/strong>, which, as a bonus, don&#039;t track and record what you&#039;re looking for. E.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/duckduckgo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DuckDuckGo<\/a>, try it, it doesn&#039;t hurt.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<h4>2. Use an ad blocker<\/h4>\n<p>This does not ensure that your activity will not be monitored, but at least <strong>you won&#039;t be bombarded with advertising<\/strong>. And almost none. It doesn&#039;t hurt either, and you&#039;ll be surprised how some sites will peek through. All modern browsers today support it<strong> installing add-ons<\/strong>, so try e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/ublockorigin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">uBlock Origin<\/a>. Don&#039;t know how to install browser add-ons? Never mind, check it out <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/chrome_webstore\/answer\/2664769?hl=cs\u00a8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chrome tutorial<\/a>, the procedure is similar in other browsers.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<h4>3. Selectively, on a per-site basis, enable\/disable the execution of JavaScript<\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0This can be a pain, because JavaScript is an integral part of the appearance of websites today, and it is therefore not easy to automatically tell what is good and what is bad. By blocking everything (e.g. through Strict security mode in Firefox) you <strong>some pages graphically &quot;fall apart&quot;<\/strong>, some won&#039;t load at all. But again, browser add-ons can be used, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/noscript.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NoScript<\/a>, allowing you to mark specific JavaScripts that are unwanted and which are allowed.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<h4>4. Delete cookies<\/h4>\n<p>Again, it can be a pain if you do it en masse (e.g. every time you close the browser). For the reason that cookies are used, among other things, to &quot;<strong>remembering&quot; login<\/strong>. Deleting all cookies will also automatically log you out wherever you have been &quot;remembered&quot;. But again, there is a possibility<strong> selective solution only for some pages<\/strong>. For example, through an add-on in your browser <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/cookie-autodelete\/fhcgjolkccmbidfldomjliifgaodjagh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cookie AutoDelete<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<h4>5. Try using Tor Browser<\/h4>\n<p>In the basic settings, he can ensure that neither the connection provider nor the website operator actually does <strong>they won&#039;t know where you&#039;re actually connecting from<\/strong>, and thus who you are. It will be virtually impossible to link you to previously collected data about your behavior on the web. Tor Browser connects to the Internet through a special network that ensures your anonymity with a high level of protection. How <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torproject.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tor Browser<\/a> it works, we&#039;ll explain again sometime next time.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIP:<\/strong> Also read our article\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lukasbarda.cz\/english\/kolik-casu-travime-online-a-jak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How much time do we spend online and how?<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One sometimes wonders how it is possible that, with advertising on various websites, he is shown exactly what he was looking for a moment ago.
