Methods and apparatus for blocking usage tracking

摘要

Methods and apparatuses that maintain one or more data stores capable of storing local data in a device for loading a resource of a domain are described. The resource may be loaded to cause one or more data access operations on the data stores. Access to usage tracking data of the device from the domain may depend on at least one of the data access operations. The data access operations may be configured to block the usage tracking data of the device from the domain. The data access operations may be performed on the data stores for the loading of the resource. A web page may be presented to a user when the resource is successfully loaded.

1. A machine-readable non-transitory storage medium having instructions therein, which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform a method, the method comprising:
maintaining one or more data stores storing local data in a device, the local data including usage tracking data of the device, the usage tracking data accessible via one or more data access operations on the data stores, wherein statuses returned from the data access operations indicate whether the data access operations are successful; configuring the data access operations to block a domain from access to the usage tracking data of the device, the data access operations configured to return the statuses indicating that the data access operations are successful while the domain is blocked from the access to the usage tracking data of the device; loading a resource from the domain for a web page based on the resource, wherein the loading of the resource invokes the data access operations configured for accessing the usage tracking data, wherein whether the web page is compatible depends on whether the statuses indicate success of the data access operations; and performing the data access operations on the data stores according to the configuration of the data access operations for the loading of the resource, wherein the resource is successfully loaded for a presentation of the web page to be compatible with the statuses indicating the success of the data access operations performed while the domain is blocked from the access to the usage tracking data.
