Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for protecting user privacy may include (i) detecting that a website indicates a user account identifier, (ii) detecting whether a third-party script has access to the user account identifier, and (iii) performing, based at least in part on detecting that the third-party script has access to the user account identifier, a security action to protect user privacy such that the security action facilitates an attempt to prevent the third-party script from actually accessing the user account identifier. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
