Cross-site ‘tracking’ references entities collecting your browsing data across multiple sites. When you go from site to site, you’re usually followed by trackers that collect info on where you’ve been and what you’ve done. Cross-site blocking stops this from happening. ---

Hi - Why does my brave shield tell me that brave itself uses cross site tracking. Is this normal? ---
