How to set up AVG PrivacyFix with Wi-Fi Do Not Track
by Calvin Pappas
What is Wi-Fi tracking?
Wi-Fi tracking is gaining popularity in public places like stores, malls, and airports where people walk around often with their mobile phones on them. Since mobile phones are constantly looking for a Wi-Fi network to connect to, Wi-Fi tracking enables companies to track you based on that connection and now things like how long you stay in a store, what aisles you go up and down, and potentially connect the dots with other information such as purchase history or online browsing.
How can I stop myself being tracked?
You may know that AVG PrivacyFix has helped users across the world block online tracking from our desktop extensions as well as recently released mobile apps. We are excited to introduce a new feature for Android smartphones as a part of the AVG PrivacyFix app entitled Wi-Fi Do Not Track.
