Abstract
The invention provides a method that allows to counter tracking mechanisms to which user terminals are exposed when they communicate data on the Internet. This is achieved by a proxy 5 system, which conceals the activity of user terminals from such tracking mechanisms. At the same time, the proxy system builds an enriched and detailed activity and user profile, to which third parties may be granted conditional access.
