Tracking the Trackers

is an online knowledge repository about digital tracking, profiling, algorithmic decisions, and privacy that focuses on the societal implications of the commercial use of personal information.

In a first step, we are building a curated research database. Think of it as a multitude of reading lists on different topics combined with a database of annotated and tagged publications, from news articles to blog posts to academic papers to policy reports.

This is a Prototype

Tracking the Trackers is hosted by Cracked Labs, a nonprofit organization based in Vienna. Learn more about the project and our future plans.
