Guest BSchwarz Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Any site can offer Tracking Protection Lists (TPLs) to help consumers protect their privacy. This post shows you how to make a TPL available from your site. For example, clicking here in IE9 will add the list from the EasyPrivacy. A word about Tracking Protection Lists Tracking Protection Lists are similar in concept to the lists behind the AdBlockPlus add-in for Firefox. The main differences are that TPLs are built in to IE, the W3C is working through the standardization process of their format, and adding a TPL in IE sends the DNT header (link). Technically, TPLs are just text files that can be hosted on any Web server and linked to from any Web page, like an RSS feed for a blog. You can find TPLs at several different sites, like the IE gallery site (linked to from the Manage Add-ons dialog within IE), the EasyList Web site, or on other sites like this one.
