Disabling Avast AntiTrack for a specific website

Avast AntiTrack protects your personal information, while blocking and notifying you of any tracking attempts made by the websites you visit. This article explains how to create an exception and allow tracking and profiling for a specific website.

Use lighter protection

Certain websites require tracker blockers to be turned off to function correctly. If you encounter issues with a website due to the tracker blockers, such as slow loading times, certain web pages not displaying, or difficulties downloading email attachments, follow the steps below:

1. Open your browser and navigate to the website that is not working correctly.
2. Click the Avast AntiTrack browser extension in the top-right corner of the browser, then click Use lighter protection for this site.

Lighter protection is now on. If issues continue, you can permit tracking and profiling specifically for that website by following the steps below:

Pause Avast AntiTrack

Pausing tracker protection may make your personal information vulnerable to cybercriminals.

1. Open your browser and navigate to the website you want to add to the exception list.
2. Click the Avast AntiTrack browser extension in the top-right corner of the browser, then click Pause tracker protection for this site.

The website is now added to the Exceptions List and tracking and profiling are enabled for it. If needed, you can resume tracker protection at any time by following the steps below:

Resume tracker protection

Choose one of the following methods:

• Method A:
