Internet Explorer and privacy
Better privacy online
Windows Internet Explorer is a browser for you. When you’re on the web, you don’t want to worry about who’s collecting data about you, or where that data’s being stored. Internet Explorer’s built-in privacy protections give you more control over your info as you browse.
Tracking Protection
Internet Explorer 9 comes with a sophisticated technology, Tracking Protection, that helps you stay in control of your privacy as you browse the web. It can block out parts of a webpage that are designed to track you and the sites you visit.
