- Telemetry
- Tracking cookies
- Pixels

- Impressions/Event/Perf/Pageview logging
- User agent monitoring
- Resource Miners

When a site is attempting to track, it'll be put into one of 4 categories.
- Generic blocks (common url/tracking filter patterns) used by 1st/3rd-parties.
- 1st-party tracking. Self hosted trackers and CNAME trackers.
- 3rd-party tracking. Hosted by another provider, which hosts a tracking script, but not actually a tracking company.
- Tracking-servers. Where the server has only one purpose to track/analyze user, will be blocked at the url level.
