Trackers & Third Parties

Analytics, ad trackers and other third parties the page loads

What it is

Checks which third-party requests the website makes, and matches each to known trackers and services.

Why it matters

Every third party a page loads learns that you visited, and scripts from them run with the same access as the site itself. This shows who is watching, and how much outside code a site depends on.

Key terms

Trackers
Third-party services that record what visitors do, often across many sites.
Advertising Trackers
Scripts from ad networks that follow visitors across sites to target ads at them.
Analytics
Services that record how visitors use a site, such as the pages they view.
