An extension that fully implements the Do Not Track Consent API and blocks tracking unless consent has been given

Features & Capabilities

An extension that fully implements the Do Not Track Consent API and blocks tracking unless consent has been given.

Bouncer is a Firefox extension that enforces Do Not Track by completely implementing the W3C Do Not Track (DNT) recommendation. Servers can use the DNT Consent API to ask for your permission before using persistent cookies or other techniques to collect your activity across the web. If you do not give your explicit consent servers should not do this, and Bouncer will stop them if they try. Sites can ask you for your consent, or specific embedded third-parties on their site, to track you then use the DNT Consent API to tell Bouncer. Embedded third-parties are only given "site-specific" consent, and Bouncer can be configured to confirm with you before it registers the consent. Bouncer not only sets the Do Not Track (DNT) signal, it also enforces your preference. If DNT is set persistent cookies will only be allowed to remain in your browser or device for a maximum of 2 hours. Bouncer also reports on how servers respond to the DNT signal and gives you the ability to completely block content that you feel is ignoring your preference. It is intended that this will be a complete implementation of the API described in the Tracking Preference Expression document http://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ specified by the W3C's Tracking Protection Working Group.

User Reviews

Good idea. However it wont maintain its settings after a browser restart. Due to the locked down nature of my browsers i have not been able to figure out what is preventing the addon from retaining its settings. Unfortunately with a minimal set of documentation provided by the creators, i recommend waiting until they provide more information for people to integrate the addon into their current privacy setup.

Is Baycloud Bouncer Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Baycloud Bouncer requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Baycloud Bouncer is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
