IE9 and Privacy: Introducing Tracking Protection

Today, consumers have very little awareness or control over who can track their online activity. Much has been written about this topic. With the release candidate:

  1. IE9 will offer consumers a new opt-in mechanism (?Tracking Protection?) to identify and block many forms of undesired tracking.
  2. ?Tracking Protection Lists? will enable consumers to control what third-party site content can track them when they?re online.

We believe that the combination of consumer opt-in, an open platform for publishing of Tracking Protection Lists (TPLs), and the underlying technology mechanism for Tracking Protection offer new options and a good balance between empowering consumers and online industry needs. They further empower consumers and complement many of the other ideas under discussion. You can see how it might work in this video:
