Extension summary

Bouncer is a browser extension that enforces Do Not Track and completely implements 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. It 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, or a configurable duration. 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

An eye opener for website visitors. An absolute necessity for website owners, responsible for the data collected on their visitors who often genuinely ignore third party access to personal data for which they are liable.
