Abstract
Identifying and removing a tracking capability from an external domain that performs a tracking activity on a host web page. Tracking capabilities of an external domain may be removed by altering web requests and/or responses to API calls. Once these tracking capabilities of the external domain have been removed, the altered web requests and/or altered responses to API calls may be transmitted to a web browser and/or entity making the API call thereby protecting user privacy while allowing the external domain to interact with the host web page.
