\begin_layout Abstract
While browsing web sites third-party resources track your online habits,
which can be considered an invasion of privacy.
It was previously unknown how many third-party resources, known trackers
and tracker companies are represented on an average web site.
While downloading over

\begin_layout Plain Layout

\end_layout
\end_inset
globally popular as well as random .com/.net/.se/.dk web sites, in-browser
HTTP traffic was recorded and analyzed.
Data shows that known third-party resources including known trackers have
a presence on over 70%
\begin_inset Note Greyedout

70-93%
\end_layout
\end_inset
of sites, that Google has a presence of over 47%

such as video, scripts and fonts make up a large portion of known trackers.

While browsing the web users are both actively and passively being tracked
by multiple companies, for the purpose of building a persona for targeted
advertising.
Sometimes the data collection is visible, as in social network sites and
questionnaires, but it is most common in the form of different kinds of
external resources which may or may not serve a purpose other than keeping
track of your every click.
Secure connections between server and client help against passive data
collection along the network path, but not against site owners allowing
in-page trackers.
Tracking code is installed on web pages that have adverts as well as those
that do not - the spread and reach of tracking across web pages and domains
of different kinds increases the quality of the user data collected and
inferred, making it more valuable for advertising purposes.
With the extent of the use of trackers and other external resources largely
unknown and ever evolving, what is already known raises privacy concerns
- data considered personal leak without the user's knowledge or explicit
permission and end up in privately owned databases for further distribution.
Data collection is the new wild west, and you are the new cattle.

random .se, .dk, .com, .net domains and Swedish, Danish and Alexa's top domains
were visited and their resources, including those dynamically loaded, recorded.
Each domain was accessed both with insecure HTTP and secure HTTPS connections
to provide a comparison.
Resources were grouped by mime type, URL protocol, domain, if it matches
the domain the request originated from and compared to lists of known trackers
and organizations.
This thesis shows the use of resources internal versus external to the
entry domain, which the most common confirmed trackers are, what spread
they have and how much the average internet user can expect to be tracked
by visiting some of the most important and popular sites in Sweden, Denmark
and worldwide.

Background
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In everyday web browsing, browsers routinely access a lot of material from
other domains or services than the one visited
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Feldmann:2004:MEI:1028788.1028833"
\end_inset
.
These external resources vary from content that the user explicitly want
to obtain, to implicitly loaded third party services, ads, and non-visible
resources with the sole purpose of collecting user data and statistical
material
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Krishnamurthy:2006:CMC:1135777.1135829"
\end_inset
.
All are downloaded on behalf of the user with no or few limitations, and
oftentimes without the user's need, understanding and explicit consent.
These external resources can all be seen as browsing habit trackers, whose
knowledge and power increase with any additional visits to other domains
or services loading the same resources

While privacy is both hard to define as well as relative to perspective
and context, there is a correlation between trackers and online privacy;
more trackers means it becomes harder to control the flow of personal informati
on and get an overview of where data ends up

Trackers are a commercial choice
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
While online privacy has been in the spotlight due to recently uncovered
mass surveillance operations, the focus has been on national government
intelligence agencies collecting information around the globe.
They have been able to intercept traffic data and metadata by, among several
techniques, covertly hooking into the internet infrastructure and passively
listening.
Basic connection metadata can always be collected, but without secure connectio
ns between client and server, any detail in the contents of each request
can be extracted.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In contrast, external resources are approved by and actively installed by
site and service owners, and presented openly to users with basic technical
skills and tools.
Reasons can be technical, for example because distributing resources among
systems improves performance.
Other times it is because there are positive network effects in using a
third-party social network to promote content and products.
More and more commonly, allowing a tracker to be installed can also become
a source of income - data aggregation companies pay for access to users'
data on the right site with the right quantity and quality of visitors.
Because these external resources are used on behalf of the service, they
are also loaded when end-to-end encryption with HTTPS is enabled for enhanced
privacy and security.
This encryption by-pass gives these private trackers more information than
possible with large-scale passive traffic interception, even when there
is a security nullifying mixture of encrypted and unencrypted connections.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
What is known by trackers?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Depending on what activities a user performs online, different things can
be inferred by trackers on sites where they are installed.
For example, a tracker on a news site can draw conclusions about interests
from content a user reads (or choses
\emph on
not
\emph default
to) by tagging articles with refined keywords and creating an interest
graph
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite
key "Kumar:2013:GBT:2522548.2523129"
\end_inset
.
The range of taggable interests of course depend on the content of the
news site.
Private and sensitive information leaked to third party sites during typical
interaction with some of the most popular sites in the world include personal
identification (full name, date of birth, email, ip address, geolocation)
and sensitive information (sexual orientation, religious beliefs, health
issues)

Social buttons, allowing users to share links with a simple click, are
tracking users whether they are registered, logged in or not
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

key "Roosendaal:2010:likethis"
\end_inset
.
They are especially powerful when the user is registered and logged in,
combining the full self-provided details of the user with their browsing
habits - all within the bounds of the services' privacy policies agreed
to by the user.
Once a user has provided their personal information, it is no longer just
the individual browser or device being tracked, but the actual person using
it - even after logging out

.
This direct association, as opposed to inferred, to the person also allows
for tracking across devices where there is an overlap of services used.

What is the information used for?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Publishers reserve areas of their web pages for displaying different kinds
and sizes of advertisements alongside content.
Ads chosen for the site may be aligned with the content but it is more
valuable the more is known about the visitors.
Combining and aggregating information from past visitors means that more
information can be assumed about future visitors, on a statistical basis,
which will define the general audience of the site.
To generate even more revenue per displayed ad, individual users are

Direction and scope
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Emphasis for the thesis will be on technical analysis, producing aggregate
numbers regarding domains and external resources.
Social aspects and privacy concerns are considered out of scope.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The thesis will primarily be written from a Swedish perspective.
This is in part because .SE has access to the full list of Swedish .se domains,
and part because of their previous work with the
\emph on
.SE Health Status
\emph default
reports.
Focus is to analyze .se domains in the reports, as they have already been
deemed important and results can be incorporated in future reports.
The main non-technical grouping is also based on the same reports; government,
media, financial institutions and other nation-wide publicly relevant organizat
ion groups.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
One assumption is that all external resources can act as trackers, even
for static (non-script) resources with no capabilities to dynamically survey
the user's browser, collecting data and tracking users across domains using
for example the

While there are lists of known trackers, used by browser privacy tools,
they are not 100% effective
\begin_inset CommandInset citation
LatexCommand cite

The lists will instead optionally be used to emphasize those external resources
as
\emph on
confirmed
\emph default
trackers.
While cookies used for tracking have been a concern for many, they are
not necessary in order to identify most users upon return, even uniquely
on a global level
\begin_inset CommandInset citation

Cookies will not be considered to be an indicator of tracking, as it can
be assumed that a combination of other server and client side techniques
can achieve the same goal as a tracking cookie.

Methodology
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Based on a list of domains, the front page of each domain is downloaded
and parsed the way a browser would.
The URL of each requested resource will be extracted, and associated with
the domain they were loaded from.
This data will then be classified in a number of ways, before being boiled
down to statistics about the entire dataset.
These aggregates are then compared between datasets.
