Stop invasive online tracking
Websites collect information on you to build a unique online profile that advertisers can identify you by. Our anti-tracking software warns you when snoopers try to follow you and stops them.
What advertisers know
Your online habits, along with your device and browser settings make up your unique digital fingerprint, allowing advertisers to identify you from a crowd of visitors, spam you with targeted advertising, or even use price discrimination to display jacked up prices for everything you’ve been researching, from plane tickets to healthcare or insurance plans.
What your family sees
Did you research something online? Your family can easily see your browsing and search history and they can appear on your browser at the most inconvenient time — embarrassing ads for products you’ve already purchased or just searched for can stick around for your entire family to see.
What data miners do
The more you browse, the more you give away. Your bank, healthcare provider, even your favorite online shop use data mining to collect and store massive amounts of info on you. All it takes is one data breach to lose it all. You never know who’s going to get their hands on your digital profile, or what they’ll do with it.
Take back your privacy
Your browser knows more about you than your mother, spouse, boss, even your doctor. And it’s exposing everything to advertisers, data miners, or anyone who sits down at your computer.

Why incognito mode, VPNs, and ad-blockers aren’t enough
Anti-tracking apps, ad-blockers, VPN, and incognito mode are all pieces in the great online privacy puzzle. But when used on their own and not all together, they just aren’t as effective as they could be. Here’s why:
VPNs don’t stop tracking
On its own, VPN is like Superman: he takes off his glasses and puts on tights, but come on! We can still tell he’s Clark Kent.
A VPN will encrypt your connection, protect you on public Wi-Fi, and disguise your location, but advertisers can still track you and identify you based on your device and browser settings.
Ad-blockers break sites
Like doctors who treat your symptoms, but not the cause of your disease, ad-blockers hide targeted ads, but they don’t remove trackers.
Unlike anti-tracking software, ad-blockers affect the way websites look and work, and they need to be updated to keep up with the constant wave of new ads.
Incognito mode isn’t incognito
If the thought of your spouse finding out what you’ve been doing online keeps you up at night, use Incognito Mode.
Incognito Mode prevents cookies, visited websites, and autocomplete fields from being saved, but your IP address is still visible and your ISP can log your traffic, so it’s not completely anonymous.

FAQ
What is Avast AntiTrack?
There are many different kinds of online tracking: for example, when advertisers use browser cookies to track users across websites, it’s known as ad tracking. It’s also possible for websites and advertisers to track your behavior across the web, so they can build a profile of who you are and what your online habits are. This is known as digital fingerprinting.
Avast AntiTrack Premium puts a stop to these invasive forms of online tracking by disguising your “digital fingerprint”, or the unique details that advertisers use to identify who you are. It also finds and removes tracking cookies, so no one can follow your online searches.
Why you should use anti-tracking software?
Good anti-tracking software, like Avast AntiTrack, disguises your online identity, stops advertisers and data collectors from tracking you, and gives you essential privacy protection when you're browsing or working online.
What makes Avast AntiTrack one of the best anti-track tools?
Our anti-tracking software stops the invisible and invasive tricks and tools used by advertising and data aggregation companies that can follow you independently of your browser settings or IP address. When you browse, AntiTrack will warn you when software is trying to collect information about you and will let you block the tracking software in question. Plus, Avast AntiTrack Premium disguises the unique settings and specs that allow trackers to identify who you are, something that private browsers or search engines can’t do.
Is Avast AntiTrack a VPN?
A VPN encrypts your connection and hides your IP address, which disguises your real-world location and prevents hackers or your ISP from seeing what you do online. Conversely, Avast AntiTrack Premium stops tracking attempts and disguises your hardware details to prevent advertisers from knowing who you are and following your online browsing. While we do highly recommend using trusted VPN software in conjunction with Avast AntiTrack Premium, the two are very different things.
Who is tracking me online?
For example, advertising companies want to participate in web tracking so they know what you want to buy, and how much you can afford to spend. Companies may be buying and selling your personal data online as well, offering your details to insurance companies, online retailers, or boutiques connected to your favorite hobbies and pastimes. And of course, the big tech giants want to know how you use their hardware, which is why even your operating system could be tracking and sharing what you do on your device.
