A talk by Nataliia Bielova
Friday, October 25th, 2013Web Tracking is an important problem in today's web applications. It is used to track the user's behaviour on the Web, and build rich user profiles, thus violating user's privacy. In today's web applications, tracking is implemented by a number of web technologies, including cookie management and browser fingerprinting. In this presentation, we will explain the basics of web tracking and focus on possible protection mechanisms (both research proposals and practical suggestions).
