Unified tracking data management

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions that, when executed by a computing device, with a display and one or more input devices, cause the computing device to:

• display, on the display, a user interface that includes two or more sets of tracking-data configuration options associated with a plurality of websites that have been visited by a user of the computing device, the two or more sets of tracking-data configuration options including:
• a first tracking-data configuration option that, when selected, causes the computing device to block all of the plurality of websites from storing tracking data of at least a first type on the computing device;
• and
• a second tracking-data configuration option that, when selected, causes the computing device to limit receipt by all of the plurality of websites of information associated with the user of the computing device;
• while displaying, on the display, the user interface that includes the two or more sets of tracking-data configuration options, receive from a user, via the one or more input devices, a selection of the first tracking-data configuration option;
• and
• in response to receiving from the user, via the one or more input devices, the selection of the first tracking-data configuration option, cause the computing device to block all of the plurality of websites from storing tracking data of at least the first type on the computing device;
• wherein:
• at least one of the tracking-data configuration options associated with the two or more sets of data-tracking configuration options allows the user to implement a first counter measure against collection of tracking data by all of the plurality of websites;
• and
• at least one of the tracking-data configuration options associated with the two or more sets of data-tracking configuration options allows the user to implement a second counter measure, distinct from the first counter measure against collection of tracking data by all of the plurality of websites.

A computing device, comprising:

• a display;
• one or more input devices;
• one or more processors;
• memory;
• and
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• displaying, on the display, a user interface that includes two or more sets of tracking-data configuration options associated with a plurality of websites that have been visited by a user of the computing device, the two or more sets of tracking-data configuration options including:
• a first tracking-data configuration option that, when selected, causes the computing device to block all of the plurality of websites from storing tracking data of at least a first type on the computing device;
• and
• a second tracking-data configuration option that, when selected, causes the computing device to limit receipt by all of the plurality of websites of information associated with the user of the computing device;
• while displaying, on the display, the user interface that includes the two or more sets of tracking-data configuration options, receiving from a user, via the one or more input devices, a selection of the first tracking-data configuration option;
• and
• in response to receiving from the user, via the one or more input devices, the selection of the first tracking-data configuration option, causing the computing device to block all of the plurality of websites from storing tracking data of at least the first type on the computing device;
• wherein:
• at least one of the tracking-data configuration options associated with the two or more sets of data-tracking configuration options allows the user to implement a first counter measure against collection of tracking data by all of the plurality of websites;
• and
• at least one of the tracking-data configuration options associated with the two or more sets of data-tracking configuration options allows the user to implement a second counter measure, distinct from the first counter measure against collection of tracking data by all of the plurality of websites.
