[Howto] Use Privoxy to prevent online tracking and analytics

These days it's hard to find a website that isn't using a analytics and/or tracking software to profile visitors. The use of analytics, cookies, web-bugs, and even advertising banners to track users actions (often across multiple sites) is commonplace and can be used to trace a user quite effectively. However, it is quite easy to set up Privoxy to prevent analytics scripts, cookies and web-bugs from tracking you.

About me

Hi, I'm Paul. I like to build websites and web applications that actually do stuff. I'm based in Kent and I occasionally blog about things that interest me.

If you would like to contact me about building a web presence, head over to the contact page to get in touch. I don't have accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Google etc so you can't contact me in any of those places.
