8.3. Blocking tracking processes

With the lists of all Ad Networks / Social Buttons / Web Analytics you have now the option to control which

services should be blocked. You can go two ways:

Block All - Click this button located in the bottom section of the dialog to to say you do not wish any

data collection activity at all. (However, please keep in mind that this action may break functionality

in the respective webpage where the service is running!)

- If you do not want to block all the detected services at once, you can specify whether the

service should be allowed or blocked individually. You may allow running of some of the detected

systems (e.g. Web Analytics): these systems use the collected data for their own website

optimization, and this way they help to improve the common Internet environment for all users.

However, at the same time you may block the data collection activities of all processes classified as

Ad Networks. Just click the icon next to the respective service to block the data collection (the

process name will appear as crossed out), or to allow the data collection again.

8.4. AVG Do Not Track settings

The Do Not Track Options dialog offers the following configuration options:

Do Not Track is enabled - By default, the DNT service is active. Press the Disable button to

deactivate the feature.

Notify web sites - In this section you can switch on/off the Notify web sites that I do not want to be

tracked option (on by default). Keep this option marked to confirm that you want Do Not Track to

inform the provider of a detected data collection service that you do not want to be tracked.
