Many websites gather information about their visitors, such as their IP address, installed browser and operating system, screen resolution, and even the page from which a visitor was redirected. Some web pages use cookies to mark your browser and save your personal settings and preferences, or to "recognize" you upon your next visit. *Stealth Mode* (or *Tracking protection* on AdGuard for Windows and AdGuard Browser Extension) safeguards your personal information from such data- and statistics-gathering systems.

You can flexibly adjust the work of Stealth Mode: for instance, you can prohibit the website from receiving the search request you used to find it on the Internet, automatically delete both third-party and the website's own cookies, turn off browser geolocation sharing that can be used to track your whereabouts, and hide your true IP address or even replace it with an arbitrary one.
