NordVPN’s tracker blocker: for maximum privacy

Browse without leaving a trace.

NordVPN’s tracker blocker feature provides maximum privacy

What is a tracker blocker?

A tracker blocker is a tool that stops third-party trackers from following you around the internet and gathering data about you. How is it better than using a private browsing mode? It stops trackers as you browse, not after you close your browser. Using a separate tracker blocker tool will allow you to enjoy private browsing without sacrificing convenience.

What does a tracker blocker protect you from?

Intrusive ads

You research a health condition once and then see ads for medicine and procedures for months. Sounds familiar? Blocking trackers prevents ads from following you around.

Unfair prices

Online shops can use data gathered by trackers to serve you higher prices based on your recent purchases. If you block trackers, your spending habits will stay private.

Data gathering

IPs, location, devices and browsers used, time spent on websites, political views, family, food preferences, and lots of other information goes to form your digital profile. Block trackers to prevent it.

Frequently asked questions

When should I use a tracker blocker?

Use a tracker blocker if you want to stop third-party cookies from gathering data about your browsing habits and creating a detailed profile on you.

And when a tracking company sells your internet usage data to a marketing agency, for example, your profile will be incomplete and won’t reveal your personal information, interests, and digital habits.

How do I block a tracker?

Get the NordVPN app and enable the Threat Protection feature in the settings. That’s it – you won’t even need to connect to a VPN server as you browse on your PC or Mac. Threat Protection will block trackers while you wander the internet.

Does deleting cookies stop tracking?

Deleting cookies will delete the URLs you visited and will log you out of websites. However, it won’t prevent tracking. Many websites can still recreate your cookies even after you delete them.
