Setting up Tracking Protection
in Safari 5.1.2 and higher
Begin by clicking “Safari” in the top left corner
Select “Preferences”
Choose the “Advanced” tab
Select “Show Develop menu in menu bar”
And then exit out of this box
Next, click on the Develop menu
Click on “Send Do Not Track HTTP Header.” This will tell advertisers that you don’t want to be tracked
You can also manage your cookies in Safari. Begin again by clicking “Safari”
Select “Preferences”
And click on the Privacy tab
You can choose to block cookies completely, or to block only those from third parties and advertisers
In addition, Safari offers many Add-ons to protect user privacy. Here are some of the most popular Add-ons, which you can
download straight from their websites.
• Ghostery blocks the invisible tracking cookies and plug-ins on many web sites, shows it all to you, and then gives you the choice whether you want to block them one-by-one, or all together.
• Adblock Plus stops social networking sites from transmitting data about you after you leave those sites, even if the page you visit has a social plugin on it.
• Do Not Track Plus is the Do Not Track app that sends a request to websites not to track you, with a “plus” of also stopping third-party data exchanges. So, when you visit a site with Facebook, Twitter and Google+ buttons on it, your browser will tell the network that you're on a site with those buttons, and no information will be sent until you choose to click one.
Finally, if you aren’t sure whether to accept cookies from a website, read their privacy policy and find out what they do with the
information they gather from users!
