How to Protect Yourself

Privacy Auditors encourage you to take control:

• Block Trackers: Use Privacy Auditor’s paid service to stop statics.esputnik.com scripts. The free version spots active trackers.
• Use a VPN: Hide your IP with a tool like Mullvad to mask location.
• Switch to Privacy Browsers: Opt for Firefox with strict protection or Tor for anonymity.
• Disable JavaScript: Stop scripts via settings or NoScript, though sites may break.
• Clear Cookies: Delete tracking identifiers to disrupt monitoring.

Combine these defenses to reduce eSputnik’s tracking.
