Vista - Internet Explorer 8 - Enable or Disable InPrivate Filtering Data

   Information

InPrivate Filtering Data is saved data used by InPrivate Filtering to detect where websites may be automatically sharing details about your visit. This will show you how to enable or disable InPrivate Filtering Data in Vista Internet Explorer 8.

   Note

InPrivate Filtering helps you control whether third parties can automatically collect information about your web browsing based on the sites you visit. InPrivate Filtering does this by identifying third-party content that is used by multiple websites you visit. Some website content might not be displayed unless you choose to allow these third-party websites.

   Warning

To make sure this is not enabled by someone (ex: a child), put them on a Standard user account and enabled Parental Controls for that Standard account. Inprivate Browsing cannot be enabled in a Standard user account with Parental Controls enabled for it.
