SelectOut: Helps to Opt-out Tracking Cookies

SelectOut offers to bring control and choice back to users online when it comes to their information used in online tracking and advertising. Learn about the practices of online tracking companies, your options with them, and the current state of online privacy.


Online tracking is the backbone of advertising on the internet and powers everything from personalizing ads to actual web page content for you individually. There is no doubt that the personalization of content has fostered growth and new technologies online, but for many people they would rather not be tracked online.
Tracking companies gather your location, keywords you search for, browser type, and everything in between to offer a portfolio for ad companies to target you with. In many cases this is actually beneficial being able to see relevant information rather than generic ads, but some of the information that is collected you may want to keep private. This is what Opt-Outs were created for because they allow users to prevent their information from being used in targeting.
