Systems and methods for automatically blocking the use of tracking tools

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions that are stored thereon, the computer-executable instructions executable by one or more processing devices for performing operations comprising:

• scanning a webpage to identify a tracking tool that is associated with the webpage;
• determining a data destination location that is associated with the tracking tool, wherein the data destination comprises at least one of a location for a computing device that invokes the tracking tool, a location of a computing device that receives data via the tracking tool, or a location of a computing device or a storage device that stores the data;
• and
• generating program code, wherein the program code is configured to:
• determine an initial location associated with a user who is associated with a rendering of the webpage;
• determine an initial tracking tool functionality level based on the initial location associated with the user and the data destination location associated with the tracking tool;
• permit the tracking tool to initially execute at the initial tracking tool functionality level;
• identify, while the user is interacting with the webpage, a second location associated with the user;
• determine a modified tracking tool functionality level based on the second location associated with the user and the data destination location associated with the tracking tool;
• and
• responsive to identifying the second location associated with the user, modify a functionality level of the tracking tool to the modified tracking tool functionality level.

A method comprising:

• scanning, by computing hardware, a webpage to identify a tracking tool that is associated with the webpage;
• determining, by the computing hardware, a data destination location that is associated with the tracking tool, wherein the determining step is based on at least one of (a) a location for a computing device that invokes the tracking tool, (b) a location of a computing device that receives data via the tracking tool, or (c) a location of a computing device or a storage device that stores the data;
• and
• generating, by the computing hardware, program code, wherein the program code is configured to:
• determine a location associated with a user who is associated with a rendering of the webpage;
• determine a prohibited data destination location based on a data structure mapping the location associated with the user to the prohibited data destination location;
• determine that the data destination location associated with the tracking tool is the prohibited data destination location;
• and
• responsive to determining that the data destination location associated with the tracking tool is the prohibited data destination location, permitting the tracking tool to execute at a modified functionality level.
