- <h3>Do Not Track</h3>
-
- <p>A few years ago the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) created a mechanism for browsers to inform web servers that they would not like to be tracked.
- This is accomplished by including a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_Not_Track">DNT (Do Not Track) header</a> with web requests.</p>
-
- <p>The DNT header doesn't really provide much privacy because most web servers ignore it. For example, Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook all ignore at least some DNT headers.</p>

- <h3>Advertisements</h3>
-
- <p>Privacy Browser Free includes a banner advertisement across the bottom of the screen that is populated by Google’s AdMob network.
- By default, Google provides the <a href="https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/6048248?hl=en">advertising ID</a> of the device to the ads displayed through this network.
- This allows advertising companies to build a profile of the device that show which apps are installed (that display ads), how often they are used, and which ads the user is interested in.</p>
-
- <p>Users can choose to disable the advertising ID in <strong>Settings</strong>, <strong>Google</strong>, <strong>Ads</strong>.</p>
