Many websites gather information about their visitors, including their IP address, installed browser and operating system, screen resolution, and even the page from which they were redirected. Some web pages use cookies to mark your browser and save your settings and preferences, or to “recognize” you upon your next visit. **Tracking protection** safeguards your personal information from such data- and statistics-gathering systems.

You can hide your true IP address or replace it with an arbitrary one.
