Who's actually tracking me on this page?

The honest answer: almost always more than one company at once, through scripts a regular visitor never sees. Here's how Noise Guard shows you what's happening, and how to check it yourself if you want to.

What gets blocked automatically, before you even ask

Once Noise Guard is active, requests to known ad and tracking domains are blocked before they're even sent. No loading and hiding afterward โ€” the connection simply never happens. Details on how that list works and where its limits are live on the Ads & Trackers page.

That only answers half the question, though. Blocking isn't the same as understanding who tried, and why.

The other half

What Noise Guard Lens shows you in plain language

Noise Guard Lens summarizes the "Data" category concretely: cookie banners on the current page and how many tracking domains were just blocked. No leaderboard, no invented score, just an honest count of what was actually attempted.

The point isn't to claim "this page is manipulating you," but to show "this specific pattern is present here" and leave the interpretation to you.

If you want to see it yourself

Check it with your browser's own tools

This works on any website, regardless of Noise Guard: open dev tools (F12 or right-click โ†’ "Inspect"), the "Network" tab, and reload the page. Every request the page makes to third-party domains shows up there โ€” often more than you'd expect. This is actually the same method we use to verify our own claims about Noise Guard itself, explained step by step on the Verify It Yourself page.

With Noise Guard active, that list is noticeably shorter on most sites, because a large share of those requests are never made in the first place.
