Bitdefender Anti-tracker extension ignoring Threat Prevention Exception

Hi @2oolate

The Online Threat Prevention and Anti-tracker protect different categories of our online web life. To exclude a website from Anti-tracker, go to that website then click on the Anti-tracker icon, then click on the gear icon at the top then Settings "Add the current website to the list". You can also add it manually. Refresh the webpage and see if that takes care of it for you.

Anti-tracker protects our online privacy in this way:

What types of trackers are detected by Bitdefender Anti-Tracker?

The Web trackers detected by the Bitdefender Anti-Tracker extension can be grouped into 5 categories:

• Advertising – used to analyze website traffic, user behavior, or visitors’ traffic patterns.
• Customer Interaction – used to measure user interaction with different input forms such as chat or support.
• Essential – used to monitor critical webpage functionalities.
• Site Analytics – used to gather data regarding webpage usage.
• Social Media – used to monitor social audience, activity, and user engagement with different social media platforms.

The Online Threat Prevention protects us in the way shown on the main UI Protection Panel: Web Protection, Search Advisor, Encrypted web scan, Fraud protection and Phishing protection. So adding that into the Exceptions served a different purpose than what the Anti-tracker component does, thus it had no effect on the website you were trying to allow the tracking ability.

I hope this helped :)

No problem, you're fine, I don't mind doing it. Your question may help someone else who sees your thread. It's just that Bitdefender does have a lot of useful articles, but it's sometimes easier just to post a thread and ask :)
