Hello Ron,
We are glad to help you.
Online tracking is the process of gathering information about you through sophisticated analytics embedded on websites. Information gained via online tracking is used to create your unique online profile (or digital fingerprint), which allows advertisers to identify you online. This can affect you in several ways:
Advertisers may use information about your online behavior to spam you with targeted advertising.
Certain websites may also show higher prices for products that you have been researching online, such as plane tickets.
Many of your favorite websites store huge amounts of information about you, which is vulnerable to data breaches. If this data is breached, third parties can access and use your personal data.
If you want to stop AVG AntiTrack clearing cookies from certain websites, add these websites to your Allowed websites:
Open AVG AntiTrack and select the Allowed websites tile.
Add a website to your list of Allowed websites using either method below:
Select a website from the Choose from popular options drop-down menu.
Enter a website URL (for example www.example.com) into the left text box, then click Add.
To remove a website from your Allowed websites, click the trash icon in the relevant panel.
Thank you.
