How to configure Private Browsing

Some websites use tracking services to gather information about your online activity. This information is then analyzed and used for the purpose of showing you targeted ads. The Private Browsing component is designed to prevent the collection of information about your online activity.

To enable the Private Browsing function, you must turn off VPN.

To enable Private Browsing if the Kaspersky application is not installed on your computer:

1. Open the main application window.
2. In the main application window, click the button.
3. Select Settings → Private Browsing and switch the toggle to On.
4. For setting up the Private Browsing feature, you need to install Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection along with the Kaspersky application.

To configure and enable Private Browsing if the Kaspersky application is installed on your computer:

1. Open the main application window.
2. In the main application window, click the button.
3. Select Settings → Private Browsing.
4. If the Kaspersky application is installed on your computer, you can enable and configure the Private Browsing component only in the interface of the Kaspersky application. In this case, the Settings button is available in the Private Browsing block.
5. Clicking the Settings button will open the Private Browsing settings section in the Kaspersky application.
6. If the component is disabled, enable it by setting the toggle in the upper part of the window to On and specify the settings you need:
   • Only gather statistics. When this option is selected, the Private Browsing component operates in detection mode, letting you view reports on detected data collection attempts.
   • Block data collection. When this option is selected, the Private Browsing component operates in blocking mode, detecting and blocking attempts to collect data. Information about these attempts is written in a report.
     • Block tracking. If the check box is selected and blocking mode is enabled, when you visit a website the browser sends the "Do Not Track" HTTP header to the website, which means that tracking of your activity is not allowed.
     • Allow data collection on the websites of Kaspersky and its partners. If the check box is selected, Kaspersky application allows data collection on the websites of Kaspersky and its partners.
     • Allow data collection on incompatible websites. If the check box is selected, Kaspersky application allows data collection on websites that may be rendered inoperable as a result of data collection being blocked.
