What is Cover Your Tracks?

Cover Your Tracks is a privacy software application that aims to help users protect their personal information and online activity from surveillance, tracking, and data collection. It works by securely erasing internet and browsing history, cookies, caches, temporary files, and other traces of user activity across major web browsers.

When browsing the web, computers store a variety of data ranging from browsing history and searches to account credentials and downloaded files. Much of this information can be used to build profiles on users for advertising or other purposes without their consent. Cover Your Tracks allows users to automatically clear these data trails at pre-set intervals or manually as needed so that their online movements are not tracked or recorded. It supports covering the tracks from Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.

In addition to providing on-demand and scheduled cleansing of browser and internet usage tracks, Cover Your Tracks offers features such as cookie management, cache cleaning, form input clearing, one-click history wiping, and full suite erasing across all supported web browsers. It also securely overwrites cleaned files multiple times to prevent forensic data recovery.

By giving users control over their browser data and online privacy, Cover Your Tracks aims to prevent unwanted surveillance and web tracking, allowing people to freely browse the internet without worrying about their personal information or usage data being collected or exploited without authorization. Its simple user interface and browser integration make erasing tracks an easily accessible security practice for internet users.
