[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 863976, member: 82776"] Privacy Badger monitors third-party exposure on domain level (does not look at first-party sub domains). When a third-party domain tracks you while you are visiting three different websites, that domain is blocked. Example when you surf to website A, B and C and on all three websites (domains) a third-party request to domain 666 sends data to that domain, domain 666 is supposed to be an ad&tracking server. Besides domain-level heuristics Privacy Badger also uses a domain level blacklist. Ghostery monitors the URL-parameters which are used to pass information from website (domain) to another website (domain). Because Ghostery looks ate URL's it can also look at sub domains. A domain can have several sub-domains (e.g. [URL='http://www.websiteABC.com']www.websiteABC.com[/URL] also calls to [URL='http://www.video.CDN.websiteABC.com']www.video.CDN.websiteABC.com[/URL]). When a website links to another website it may pass parameters embedded in the URL, e.g. [URL='http://www.websiteABC.com/parameters(Video=holiday,Country=Hawai,Campaign=Diving,Localization=yourZipcode)'](Video=holiday,Country=Hawai,Campaign=Diving,Location=yourZipcode)[/URL]. Ghostery looks at the parameter values and when a certain value is passed to the an specific URL more than three times in the last two days, it will be filtered. In this example you might have been looking to a diving holiday on several exotic locations. When the URL-parameter containing yourZipCode was passed the third-time it would be filtered out, so the ad&tracking server would have one ID less to tag you (making it harder to know that it is probably the same person searching for something). This makes Ghostery's filtering mechanisme much more granular as Privacy Badger's mechanism. Also because Ghostery filters the parameter and does not block the third-party request to the domain, the chance of breaking a website is much lower. Besides this domain-URL-parameter heuristics filtering mechanism, Ghostery also uses a domain-level blacklist. I think the insight knowledge of Cliqz being a digital marketing company helps (a thief to catch a thief), same probably applies to Brave (offering an alternative to existing advertising models). In June I will have finished my study and I will also be a certified digital marketing professional (consider me an undercover agent, spying on behalf MT-forum :-) ). [/QUOTE]
