Tracker Exceptions

Trust or block specific trackers, site by site

What it does

If one tracker needs to load for a single site to work — but should stay blocked everywhere else — add a per-site exception.

Google Analytics Facebook Pixel Hotjar
youtube.com Trusted Blocked Default
nytimes.com Blocked Blocked Trusted
Same trackers, different rules per site. Global defaults stay untouched.
Trust or block individual trackers on a specific site.

How it works

Open a website's details, pick a tracker, and override the global block or trust setting just for that domain.

What you get

  • Granular control without weakening global protection
  • Fix broken site features without disabling Ghostery
  • Easy to review and remove later
  • Keeps global defaults intact

Turn it on

Find it under: Website Settings → open a site → Protection Exceptions.
