技术 (TECHNOLOGY)

A note from the editor: with this article, we are not changing the overall direction of Storius. Our publication remains all about the craft and business of storytelling in its many forms. But from time to time, we will be publishing stories about trends that affect the lives of storytellers and their audiences alike. And the gradual and voluntary loss of privacy in exchange for perceived convenience has been certainly one of these trends.

编辑的注解 ：在本文中，我们不会改变Storius的总体方向。 我们的出版物仍然以各种形式讲述故事的技巧和业务。 但是，我们会不时发布有关影响说故事者及其听众生活的趋势的故事。 逐渐地和自愿地失去隐私以换取感知的便利无疑是这些趋势之一。

When Apple made an appearance at the CES tech conference in Las Vegas in 2019, they also put up a sign. It wasn’t a billboard, as many news outlets claimed, but a 13-story Apple ad plastered onto the side of a hotel. It had one message: “What happens on your iPhone, stays on your iPhone”. To anyone who knows the first thing about what makes smartphones smart, this doesn’t make a lot of sense. In order to browse any website or use most apps, you need to be connected to the internet.

当苹果在2019年拉斯维加斯举行的CES技术会议上亮相时，他们也竖起了牌子。 正如许多新闻媒体所声称的那样，这不是一个广告牌，而是在旅馆的侧面贴了一个13层的苹果广告 。 它有一条消息：“ iPhone上发生的事情，留在iPhone上”。 对于任何了解让智能手机变得智能的人来说，这没有多大意义。 为了浏览任何网站或使用大多数应用程序，您需要连接到互联网。

Requests need to leave your phone, travel to a server, and a response needs to return with the information you want. But those requests aren’t always for data the user has requested. In fact, in many cases, those requests aren’t initiated by the user at all.

请求需要离开手机，前往服务器，并且响应需要返回所需的信息。 但是这些请求并不总是针对用户请求的数据。 实际上，在许多情况下，这些请求根本不是由用户发起的。

And so I tried a little experiment: blocked apps from tracking my iPhone for just one week

因此，我尝试了一个小实验：阻止应用程序跟踪我的iPhone仅一周

And during that time I was tracked 4,341 times by 33 tracking platforms.

在此期间，我被33个跟踪平台跟踪了4,341次。

Some highlights:

一些重点：

• Google tracked me nearly twice as much as all others combined
  Google追踪我的次数几乎是其他所有追踪者的两倍
• Facebook and Amazon tracked me more than any other company (except Google)
  Facebook和Amazon追踪我的次数比其他任何公司(Google除外)都多

• The rest of the data goes to 29 companies, most of which I’ve never heard of

  其余数据送给29家公司，其中大多数我从未听说过

Let’s remember this was just one week. If we assume the rate of tracking has always been somewhat similar, we can extrapolate from there. If all 52 weeks in a year are the same, I’m being tracked 225,732 times a year. And I’ve been using iPhones exclusively for 10 years, which means…

让我们记住这只是一个星期。 如果我们假设跟踪率一直相似，则可以从那里推断。 如果一年中的所有52周都相同，那么每年将跟踪我225,732次 。 我已经专门使用iPhone 10年了，这意味着...

我的iPhone被追踪了2,257,320次。 (My iPhone has been tracked 2,257,320 times.)

我如何封锁400个追踪器 (How I blocked 400 trackers)

Jumbo is a freemium app that protects your privacy by automatically changing your privacy settings on the most popular social networks. This includes restricting how advertisers can use your data on Twitter and Facebook, giving you the option of deleting old posts and archiving them in the app if you want to.

Jumbo是一款免费应用程序，可通过自动更改最流行的社交网络上的隐私设置来保护您的隐私。 这包括限制广告商如何在Twitter和Facebook上使用您的数据，让您可以选择删除旧帖子并在应用程序中将其存档。

Alongside these free features, Jumbo also has a Pro subscription, which allows you to pay what you think is fair for some premium features. I agreed to pay the minimum possible subscription, which was just under £100 ($130) a year, and was given a 7-day trial before the payment would be taken.

除了这些免费功能之外，Jumbo还具有Pro订阅，您可以使用该订阅来支付您认为对某些高级功能合理的价格。 我同意支付最低的订阅费用，即每年将近100英镑(130美元)，并且在付款之前已进行了7天的试用。

You can do the same if you want to see what companies are tracking you. If you cancel the subscription as soon as you agree to it (in iOS Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions) you will still be given the trial, but you will not be charged at the end of it.

如果要查看哪些公司正在跟踪您，也可以执行相同的操作。 如果您在同意订阅后立即取消订阅(在iOS设置> Apple ID>订阅中)，您仍将获得试用版，但在结束时无需付费。

This is an easy way to try out any subscription on iOS without accidentally being charged for something you never intended to pay for. Once you see what I saw, however, you may want to keep that subscription going.

这是在iOS上试用任何订阅的一种简便方法，而不会因您不打算支付的费用而意外收费。 但是，一旦看到我看到的内容，您可能希望继续进行该订阅。

Jumbo blocks the 400 trackers on its blacklist by providing a VPN profile, which you can install on your phone very easily.

Jumbo通过提供VPN配置文件将其黑名单上的400个跟踪器阻止，您可以很容易地将其安装在手机上。

I’ve used VPNs before, but their protection was a lot less tangible because I didn’t have access to a list of what they were actually protecting me from. Jumbo provides a list of names for all the trackers on the blacklist, along with their category and the number of times it was blocked.

我以前使用过VPN，但是对它们的保护远没有那么具体，因为我没有访问它们实际上在保护我免受攻击的列表。 Jumbo为黑名单上的所有跟踪器提供了一个名称列表，以及它们的类别和被阻止的次数。

This isn’t a huge amount of information, but that data provides me with enough insight to draw the inevitable conclusion.

这不是大量的信息，但是这些数据为我提供了足够的洞察力来得出不可避免的结论。

We’re all being tracked too much.

我们都被追踪太多了。

Google追踪我的次数几乎是其他所有追踪者的两倍 (Google tracked me nearly twice as much as all others combined)

The Google portion of this chart is a veritable Pac-Man, voraciously eating the lunch of any company hoping to become a major player in the space.

这张表中的Google部分是名副其实的吃豆人，吃着任何一家希望成为该领域主要参与者的公司的午餐。

It’s a happy coincidence that I used Google Sheets to make this chart, as the first 4 colors match Google corporate colors.

碰巧的是，我使用Google表格制作了这张图表，因为前4种颜色与Google公司的颜色匹配。

Although this level of market dominance by one player is troubling, I’m not oblivious to the benefits of tracking users.

尽管一个玩家的这种市场主导地位令人不安，但我并没有忘记跟踪用户的好处。

I’m an iOS developer, so I’m no stranger to a tool such as Google Crashlytics (blocked 390 times or 9%) that provides me with a stack trace in the event of a crash. This data hopefully points me to the exact line of code that caused a problem and narrows down my search for the solution to a bug far faster than customer feedback would (if I even receive feedback from them). Crashlytics comes as part of Google Firebase (blocked 1156 times or 26.6%), which gives apps a range of capabilities from authentication to database storage.

我是iOS开发人员，因此对于Google Crashlytics之类的工具(被阻止390次，即9％)，在发生崩溃时向我提供堆栈跟踪信息，我并不陌生。 这些数据有望使我找到导致问题的确切代码行，并将我对解决方案的搜索范围缩小到比客户反馈快得多的错误(如果我什至从他们那里收到反馈)。 Crashlytics是Google Firebase的一部分(被阻止1156次，占26.6％)，该应用为应用提供了从身份验证到数据库存储的一系列功能。

Let’s assume that Jumbo only blocked analytics sent by Firebase, as blocking the authentication or storage features would break a lot of apps that use those capabilities.

假设Jumbo仅阻止了Firebase发送的分析，因为阻止身份验证或存储功能会破坏许多使用这些功能的应用程序。

Then there’s DoubleClick (blocked 184 times or 4.2%), acquired by Google as far back as 2007. It seems that this subsidiary’s product has now been renamed to Google Marketing Platform, but it is still shown as ‘DoubleClick.net’ in Jumbo’s blacklist. I didn’t mention Google Syndication (blocked 15 times or 0.3%), which makes up such a tiny orange slither that it almost isn’t worth mentioning. According to Who Tracks Me, Google Syndication provides “advertising or advertising-related services such as data collection, behavioral analysis, or retargeting.”

然后是DoubleClick (被屏蔽了184次，即4.2％)，早在2007年就被Google收购。该子公司的产品现在已重命名为Google Marketing Platform ，但在Jumbo的黑名单中仍显示为“ DoubleClick.net” 。 我没有提到Google Syndication (阻止了15次，即0.3％)，它组成了一个很小的橙色溜冰者，几乎不值得一提。 根据Who Tracks Me的说法，Google Syndication提供了“与广告或广告相关的服务，例如数据收集，行为分析或重新定位。”

Analytics(分析)比其他任何类别的跟踪器更受欢迎 (Analytics are far more popular than any other category of tracker)

This is more than a little disturbing, because the defenders of trackers tend to claim that they exist for reasons that ultimately benefit the user. If an app we regularly use crashes, we can at least be reassured that the developer has probably been notified. Though the developer failed to catch the crash in testing, they get a second chance at finding it and fixing it with crash management.

这有点令人不安，因为跟踪器的维护者倾向于声称它们的存在是出于最终使用户受益的原因。 如果我们经常使用的应用崩溃，我们至少可以放心，开发人员可能已经收到通知。 尽管开发人员未能在测试中发现崩溃，但他们有第二次机会找到崩溃并通过崩溃管理对其进行修复。

Apparently advertising is more useful to users if it’s personalised, as we’re more likely to take an action like buying a product or downloading an app. That makes it sound a lot more useful to the advertisers if you ask me. I often hear the defense that if we have to see ads everywhere, they might as well be for things we want. I don’t really have that need as a user, as I have plenty of ways of discovering new things without being targeted based on the most personal information I possess.

显然，如果广告是个性化的，则对用户更有用，因为我们更可能采取购买产品或下载应用程序之类的操作。 如果您问我，这对广告客户来说听起来很有用。 我经常听到这样一种辩解：如果我们到处都必须看到广告，那么它们也可能是我们想要的东西。 作为用户，我实际上并没有这种需求，因为我有很多发现新事物的方式，而不必以我拥有的最个人信息为目标。

Instead of fixing crashes or providing targeted advertising, the majority of trackers on my iPhone are just plain old analytics.

我的iPhone上的大多数跟踪器都没有修复崩溃或提供有针对性的广告，而只是简单的旧分析。

Not everything that can go wrong with an app causes a crash, so there’ll plenty of things in this category that do actually help to improve the app. The user experience can also benefit from teams analyzing how long parts of the app take, or what features users like. The main thing that is unnerving is the fact that everything we do on a phone is tracked and monitored.

并非某个应用程序可能出错的所有原因都会导致崩溃，因此该类别中的许多内容实际上有助于改善应用程序。 团队分析应用程序需要花费多长时间或用户喜欢哪些功能，这也可以从用户体验中受益。 最让人不安的是，我们在电话上所做的一切都受到跟踪和监控。

When the nightmare scenario of a crash isn’t occurring, developers still want to know how their app is being used, and a tool like Google Analytics (blocked 1262 times or 29.1%) boasts that it provides “free, unlimited reporting on up to 500 distinct events.”

当没有发生崩溃的噩梦时，开发人员仍然想知道他们的应用程序是如何使用的，以及Google Analytics ( 分析)之类的工具(被阻止1262次或29.1％) 它声称提供“免费，无限制的多达500个不同事件的报告”。

Google Analytics used in apps shares its name with the possibly better-known web analytics service that dominates the web.

应用中使用的Google Analytics(分析)与可能主导网络的可能知名度更高的网络分析服务共享其名称。

According to industry publication Marketing Land:

根据行业出版物《营销土地》的说法：

69.5 percent of Quantcast’s Top 10,000 sites (based on traffic) are using Google Analytics, and 54.6 percent of the top million websites that it tracks.

Quantcast的前10,000个网站(基于流量)中有69.5％在使用Google Analytics(分析)，它跟踪的前一百万个网站中有54.6％。

Tracking website visitors is very important to companies, as this data tells them who has even a passing interest in their products. Assuming a company has an app, getting a website visitor to download an app is extremely important. But according to data from comScore:

跟踪网站访问者对公司而言非常重要，因为该数据告诉他们谁对他们的产品甚至有过时的兴趣。 假设公司拥有一个应用程序，那么吸引网站访问者下载应用程序就非常重要。 但是根据comScore的数据 ：

…only about one third of smartphone users download any apps in an average month, with the bulk of those users downloading only 1–3 apps. A very small fraction of users will go on to download 4 or more apps per month.

…在平均一个月中，只有大约三分之一的智能手机用户下载任何应用程序，其中大部分用户仅下载1-3个应用程序。 极少数用户每月将继续下载4个或更多应用程序。

Without being featured on the App Store, it’s difficult to stand out as an app developer.

如果不出现在App Store中，则很难以应用程序开发者的身份脱颖而出。

我什至没有使用Safari作为主要浏览器 (I don’t even use Safari as my main browser)

The tricky thing about Jumbo’s use of the product name Google Analytics is I don’t know whether we are talking about app or web analytics. The default iOS browser has had a strong emphasis on privacy for a while, but Safari is taking extra steps in iOS 14 to make tracking harder. Despite this, I switched my browser preference a while ago to the DuckDuckGo app. This is probably the most extreme approach you can take in terms of protecting your online privacy, considering the fact that it has no ability to store a history of websites you visit. On top of this, I have chosen the option to automatically clear all tabs and website data if I close the app, or if I have put it into the background for more than 15 minutes.

关于Jumbo使用产品名称Google Analytics(分析)的棘手事情是，我不知道我们是在谈论应用程序分析还是Web分析。 默认的iOS浏览器在很长一段时间以来都非常重视隐私，但是Safari在iOS 14中采取了额外的步骤来使跟踪更加困难 。 尽管如此，我不久前将浏览器的偏好设置切换到了DuckDuckGo应用程序 。 考虑到它无法存储您访问的网站的历史记录，这可能是在保护在线隐私方面可以采用的最极端的方法。 最重要的是，如果我关闭了该应用程序，或者将其置于后台超过15分钟，则我选择了自动清除所有标签和网站数据的选项。

Sometimes this has a negative effect, as I am unable to resume what I was doing after becoming distracted from my task. But most of the time, if I don’t return to the browser in 15 minutes, I don’t care if sessions end, cookies are deleted and tabs are erased. I’m sure the average person doesn’t care enough to take this approach, so I should point out that this interval can be increased up to an hour, or the automatic erasure feature can be turned off entirely.

有时这会产生负面影响，因为我在分心后无法恢复自己的工作。 但是在大多数情况下，如果我在15分钟内不返回浏览器，则不在乎会话是否结束，是否删除了Cookie以及是否删除了标签页。 我敢肯定，一般人不会在意这种方法，所以我应该指出，此间隔可以增加一个小时，或者可以完全关闭自动删除功能。

Although my browser of choice is DuckDuckGo, in iOS 13 I had very little choice about the default browser. Although iOS 14 still requires that every browser uses WebKit, and is therefore a wrapper for Safari’s underlying rendering engine, we do now have a choice of what wrapper we want that to be. I’m currently on a beta of iOS 14, but I can’t find the browser choice in the iOS settings at this stage.

尽管我选择的浏览器是DuckDuckGo，但在iOS 13中，我对默​​认浏览器的选择很少。 尽管iOS 14仍然要求每个浏览器都使用WebKit，因此，它是Safari底层渲染引擎的包装器，但我们现在可以选择要使用的包装器。 我目前在iOS 14的Beta版中，但目前无法在iOS设置中找到浏览器选择。

That means that my default browser during this 7 day period was still Safari.

这意味着我在这7天的默认浏览器仍是Safari。

Any link in an app that opens in a browser, therefore, opens in Safari. Despite its privacy protections, I do have cookies enabled there, so it’s possible that my web activity is being tracked too. It’s unclear whether using DuckDuckGo as a browser successfully prevents Google Analytics from being sent, as their blacklist isn’t publicly shown as Jumbo’s blacklist is.

因此，在浏览器中打开的应用程序中的任何链接都将在Safari中打开。 尽管有隐私保护，但我确实启用了cookie，因此也有可能跟踪我的网络活动。 目前尚不清楚使用DuckDuckGo作为浏览器是否成功阻止了Google Analytics(分析)的发送，因为其黑名单并未像Jumbo的黑名单那样公开显示。

But the biggest privacy risk of tracking cookies saved on your device is the fact that they stick around, watching your every move even after you leave the original site.

但是，跟踪保存在您设备上的cookie的最大隐私风险是，它们会一直存在，甚至在您离开原始站点后仍会观察您的一举一动。

A browser that deletes all website data once your browsing session is over is the only way to guarantee that no website has the ability to track you.

一旦浏览会话结束，将删除所有网站数据的浏览器是确保没有网站能够跟踪您的唯一方法。

Facebook和Amazon追踪我的次数比其他任何公司(Google除外)都多 (Facebook and Amazon tracked me more than any other company (except Google))

You may have noticed that the pie chart shown above had individual segments for Amazon Adsystem (blocked 285 times or 6.6%) and Facebook Graph (blocked 250 times or 5.8%). The prevalence of Google in the list might be that the iOS apps I work on use Google tracking products, and these are being run when I am testing apps. But if you’re looking for a globally representative sample from any single person, you’re probably not going to find it.

您可能已经注意到，上面显示的饼图具有针对Amazon Adsystem(被阻止285次或6.6％)和Facebook Graph(被阻止250次或5.8％)的各个细分。 列表中Google的流行程度可能是我正在使用的iOS应用使用Google跟踪产品，并且在我测试应用时正在运行这些产品。 但是，如果您要从任何一个人那里寻找具有全球代表性的样本，则可能找不到。

However, I suspect that the popularity of Google’s tracking products makes my findings somewhat representative.

但是，我怀疑Google跟踪产品的普及使我的发现有些代表性。

最小的份额用于广泛的公司 (The smallest slice goes to a wide range of companies)

I found it impossible to make a pie chart that showed all 33 trackers that were blocked. Instead, I’ve carved out the remaining chunk of those that aren’t made by Google, Facebook, or Amazon.

我发现不可能制作一个饼图来显示所有被阻止的33个跟踪器。 取而代之的是，我剔除了Google，Facebook或Amazon所没有的其余部分。

The top 5 of the small companies are MParticle, HelpShift, Branch, MixPanel, and AppsFlyer, but not one of these was responsible for more than 2% of the trackers that were blocked on my phone.

小型公司中排名前5位的是MParticle，HelpShift，Branch，MixPanel和AppsFlyer ，但其中没有一家对我的手机中被阻止的跟踪器的2％以上负责。

其他29家公司(每天我从未听说过)每天都在跟踪我的行为 (29 other companies, most of which I’ve never heard of, are tracking my behavior every single day)

The troubling aspect of this slice of the pie is not that these companies know a lot about me and my behavior. As a proportion of the tracking that takes place, they inherently know a lot less. But the disturbing thing is how many of them there are. How many companies in this list can you name? Perhaps more importantly, how many of these companies have you actually read the terms of service for? Probably none of them, because the terms of service you receive from an app come from the developer that makes the app.

这部分麻烦的方面并不是这些公司对我和我的行为了解很多。 作为所进行的跟踪的一部分，他们固有地了解的少得多。 但是令人不安的是有多少个。 您可以列出此名单中的几家公司？ 也许更重要的是，您实际上为其中的几家公司阅读了服务条款？ 可能都不是，因为您从应用程序收到的服务条款来自制作该应用程序的开发人员。

The analytics tools that a developer integrates are not visible to the end-user, and so none of us have any idea what companies own data about us. What if one of these companies suffered a data breach? Assuming we saw a news story about the hack, we wouldn’t even recognize the company. Would the companies that use the service even bother to inform us? It’s a chilling thought, but these companies are only the frontline of the companies that gather our data without our knowledge.

开发人员集成的分析工具对最终用户不可见，因此我们没人知道公司拥有关于我们的数据的什么。 如果这些公司之一遭受数据泄露怎么办？ 假设我们看到了有关该黑客事件的新闻报导，我们甚至都不会承认该公司。 使用该服务的公司会不愿意通知我们？ 这是一个令人毛骨悚然的想法，但是这些公司只是在我们不知情的情况下收集我们数据的公司的前线。

Data brokers buy and sell user data, and while we can opt out of many ‘people search sites’, we never chose to opt into them in the first place.

数据经纪人买卖用户数据，尽管我们可以选择退出许多“人员搜索站点” ，但我们从来没有选择首先加入它们。

While Apple is fighting to improve privacy on its platform, Google has so many reasons to try and increase the amount of data that can be collected from iOS and Android users.

在苹果公司致力于改善其平台的隐私性的同时，谷歌却有很多理由试图增加可从iOS和Android用户收集的数据量。

They take the lion’s share of both the advertising and the analytics pies, and they will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

他们在广告和分析软件中所占的份额最大，并且在可预见的未来将继续这样做。

我们学到了什么？ (What did we learn?)

To quote the last scene of Burn After Reading:

引用阅读后刻录的最后一幕 ：

CIA Supervisor: Jesus Fucking Christ. What did we learn, Palmer?Palmer: I don’t know sir.CIA Supervisor: I don’t fucking know either. I guess we learned not to do it again. I’m fucked if I know what we did.Palmer: Yes sir, it’s hard to say.

中央情报局主管 ：耶稣他妈的基督。 我们学到了什么，帕尔默？ 帕尔默 ：我不认识先生。 中央情报局局长 ：我也不他妈的知道。 我想我们学会了不再做。 如果我知道我们做了什么，我会上瘾的。 帕尔默 ：是的，先生，很难说。

This film is primarily about a CIA analyst and a US marshal who both believe that the world is against them in one way or another. The US Marshal, played by George Clooney, becomes increasingly paranoid that he’s being spied on. These days it isn’t at all paranoid to think that you’re being spied on, in fact we all know it. If you care about your privacy, the worst thing you can do is surrender yourself to the inevitability that your phone is spying on you.

这部电影主要讲述的是CIA分析师和美国法警，他们都认为世界在某种程度上与他们对立。 由乔治·克鲁尼(George Clooney)扮演的美国陆军元帅对他的监视越来越偏执。 这些天来，根本就不会怀疑自己被监视了，事实上，我们都知道这一点。 如果您关心自己的隐私，那么最糟糕的事情就是让自己陷入手机在监视您的必然性。

You can tighten your iPhone’s privacy settings and check out the free privacy benefits of Jumbo.

您可以收紧iPhone的隐私设置，并查看Jumbo的免费隐私保护 。

Just because it would be hard to eliminate all trackers from your phone, it doesn’t mean that you should lose hope.

仅仅因为很难从手机中消除所有追踪器，并不意味着您应该失去希望。

使用虚拟专用网(VPN) (Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN))

Free VPNs can harvest data in ways you don’t expect, like when Onavo was bought by Facebook and used to analyze web traffic from other apps.

免费VPN可以以您意想不到的方式收集数据，例如Facebook购买Onavo并用于分析其他应用程序的网络流量时。

Opera now comes with a free VPN, so I use that as my browser on my Mac. The problem with browser-based VPNs is that they don’t cover every app you’re likely to use, so paying for something that only works in one app isn’t going to be very useful if you’re serious about your privacy and security.

Opera现在带有免费的VPN ，因此我将其用作Mac上的浏览器。 基于浏览器的VPN的问题在于它们无法涵盖您可能会使用的每个应用程序，因此，如果您对隐私和安全问题很认真，那么为仅在一个应用程序中可用的东西付费并不会很有用。安全。

I was able to find a paid VPN on The Next Web Deals, which still has a lot of cheap offers. A lot of people care about their privacy, but they can’t imagine paying a subscription for a VPN for the rest of their lives. The important thing about getting VPNs from TNW is that, instead of paying a subscription, many of these are lifetime one-off payments.

我能够在The Next Web Deals上找到付费VPN，该VPN仍然有很多便宜的报价。 许多人关心自己的隐私，但是他们无法想象在余生中为VPN付费。 从TNW获得VPN的重要之处在于，其中许多是终身一次性付款，而不是付费订阅。

Looking at the link right now, there are 3 VPNs for $19, each of which can be used on up to 5 devices.

现在看链接，有3个VPN，价格为19美元，每个VPN最多可在5台设备上使用。

Hopefully, this lowers the barrier to entry with VPNs, as a one-off payment for a lifetime of cover is a lot easier to justify than a recurring subscription.

希望这可以降低VPN的进入门槛，因为一次性支付一次性使用的费用比定期订阅更容易证明其合理性。

Make sure you look up a VPN on the Best VPN website before making a purchase, as there could be hidden downsides to purchasing that product that you weren’t aware of. For instance, many VPN providers do a certain amount of logging of activity on their networks.

购买前，请确保在Best VPN网站上查找VPN，因为购买您不知道的产品可能存在隐患。 例如，许多VPN提供商在其网络上记​​录一定数量的活动。

Just make sure that the offer uses the word lifetime, instead of specifying the number of years.

只需确保报价使用寿命一词，而不指定年数即可。

不要在iOS 14中“允许应用程序请求跟踪” (Don’t “Allow Apps to Request to Track” in iOS 14)

When I was looking for the option to select a default browser in the iOS 14 beta, I noticed there is now a new section of the Privacy settings menu called Tracking. Inside it is a single switch that seems to be off by default. This seems to be similar to the Limit Ad Tracking option that was shown in previous versions of the OS. If you give permission for this tracking, your unique device ID, Advertising Identifier (which can change), your name, and your email address can be associated with this third party analytics data.

当我在iOS 14 Beta中寻找选择默认浏览器的选项时，我注意到隐私设置菜单中现在有一个名为“跟踪”的新部分。 内部有一个默认情况下似乎处于关闭状态的单个开关。 这似乎与先前版本的操作系统中显示的“限制广告跟踪”选项相似。 如果您允许此跟踪，则可以将您的唯一设备ID，广告标识符(可以更改)，您的姓名和电子邮件地址与此第三方分析数据相关联。

Although ‘Tracking’ was not enabled I was still tracked 4,341 in a week.

尽管未启用“跟踪”功能，但一周仍然可以跟踪到我4,341。

I should probably be pleased that my personal details were not associated with the data so explicitly.

我的个人详细信息没有如此明确地与数据相关联，可能让我感到高兴。

Enabling the Tracking setting removes your ability to be anonymous on the iPhone, which seems to be against the privacy principles that Tim Cook insists that Apple stands for.

启用“跟踪”设置会取消您在iPhone上匿名的功能，这似乎违反了蒂姆·库克(Tim Cook)坚持要求苹果坚持的隐私原则。

Although the tracking setting is off by default, we don’t know if that default will change to on in a later version of iOS.

尽管默认情况下跟踪设置为关闭，但我们不知道该默认设置是否会在更高版本的iOS中更改为打开。

If you are interested in this setting, check out the blue ‘Learn more…’ link on the iOS Settings > Privacy > Tracking page for a lot more information about how enabling this setting would probably be a bad idea.

如果您对此设置感兴趣，请查看iOS设置>隐私>跟踪页面上的蓝色“了解更多...”链接，以获取有关如何启用此设置可能不是一个好主意的更多信息。
