CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT AND ENFORCEMENT OF ONLINE BEHAVIORAL TRACKING POLICIES

摘要

Systems and methods for manipulating online behavioral tracking policies are provided. According to one embodiment, a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) response transmitted from a web server to a client is captured by a network security device. A status of the client is determined by the network security device. An online behavioral tracking policy associated with the client is identified by the network security device based on the determined status. The identified online behavioral tracking policy is enforced by the network security device by modifying the HTTP response. The modified HTTP response is transmitted by the network security device to the client.
