DuckDuckGo Releases an Automatically Generated, Constantly Updated List of Common Cross-Site Trackers

https://spreadprivacy.com

Over the last couple of years, DuckDuckGo has been building their own data set of trackers based on a crawling process that doesn’t have the drawbacks of an existing manually curated list of trackers like getting stale and never being comprehensive. They are calling it DuckDuckGo Tracker Radar. It is automatically generated, constantly updated, and continually tested. It consists of 2 main parts

  • A file for each third-party domain (usually associated with tracking, but not always) containing detailed information about it.
  • A file for each parent entity, associating it with domains.

The data set shows that the Google-owned trackers are on over 85% of the top 50K sites on the web and Facebook on 36% of them.

The data is publicly available under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0. International license. The code we use to make the Tracker Radar is open source and available on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 License.
