    Abstract: Systems and methods for protecting against an estimated level of online tracking are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method may include collecting data relating to a plurality of known users. This first data may include browser histories and a level of online tracking for each known user. The known users may be organized into clusters and second data relating to an unknown user may be received. The second data may include an identification of one or more categories of websites that the unknown user visits, and one or more websites within each of the one or more categories of websites that the unknown user visits. A matching cluster for the unknown user may be identified and levels of online tracking for similar known users within the matching cluster may be used to estimate a level of online tracking for the unknown user.
