   If you want to block data collection on these websites, clear the Allow data collection on the websites of Kaspersky Lab and its partners checkbox.

   If you want to block data collection on these websites, clear the Allow data collection on incompatible websites checkbox.

6. If you would like to permit data collection on a certain website, add it to the exclusions list. To do so, click Categories and exclusions.

7. Clear the checkbox for a category or add a website to the list by clicking Exclusions.

Data collection will be prevented on all websites except:

• Websites added to the exclusions list.
• Social networking websites (Facebook, Google Plus, Twitter) when you are currently on that page.
• Webpages that could not be resolved. Kaspersky Internet Security does not block this data collection attempt and does not display information about it.

The Private Browsing component works through the Kaspersky Protection extension. To learn how to enable the extension in your browser, see the instructions in this article.
