McAfee Anti-tracker prevents companies and advertisers from tracking your online activity and personal data.

Companies and advertisers can build a profile of you based on information exchanged when you access a webpage. This includes your location, browsing activity, installed plugins, hardware configurations, and more.

McAfee Anti-tracker will block attempts made by companies or advertisers to track your online activity. Additionally, McAfee masks these data points in ways a simple VPN or incognito mode fall short, so you can keep your online activity private.

MCAFEE ANTI-TRACKER FEATURES:

Visibility into who’s tracking you: see which advertisers and sites are attempting to collect your info.

Automatically private: tracking attempts will be continuously blocked with installation; no need to login each time you go online.

More private with just a click: manage which sites can be trusted with your personal data with a convenient toggle.

Keep your online activity private: we continually change the masking of your data, preventing advertisers from developing a profile based on your activity or serving you with eerily specific ads.

I bought it and then could not install it because I captialized the wrong letter in my password to my email and it wouldn't give me a chance for another try. So you have my money but I don't have your service! Help me please,

I can't even install it. it says 'download Extension'. I click on extension and it offers all sorts of delights, including caring for your virtual dog. no box that says 'install'. You need to look at your website and try to do it yourself.
