Opt Out of Online Ad Tracking

July 1, 2009 · Leave a Comment

When we use the web advertisers collect data on where we go with a tracking device called a cookie. For the most part cookies are good because they store bits of data that makes repeat visits to websites smoother and faster. However, cookies are downloaded onto our computers without us knowing and we might not want them on our systems. If you want to easily opt out of ad tracking go to the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) Opt-Out page.

To learn more about opting out go to Kim Komando’s tip Opt out of online ad tracking.
