Privacy Protection That Works in the Background
5-Step Process
How It Works
New York Lights helps you understand, manage, and reduce your online data exposure by monitoring website behavior, automating privacy choices, and turning complex tracking activity into simple reports.
Step 1: Connect Your Browser
New York Lights works through a privacy-focused browser layer that observes how websites behave while you browse.
It looks for signals such as tracking scripts, cookie requests, advertising networks, permission requests, and data-sharing activity.
Step 2: Detect Hidden Tracking
Most websites use third-party tools that collect information in the background. New York Lights helps identify when sites are requesting access, loading trackers, or connecting with outside advertising networks.
Instead of forcing you to inspect every website manually, the platform highlights the privacy activity that matters most.
Step 3: Automate Privacy Choices
New York Lights helps reduce repetitive privacy decisions by applying your preferences automatically.
You can choose privacy profiles such as:
-
Strict privacy
-
Balanced browsing
-
Trusted sites only
-
Ask every time
Step 4: Review Privacy Activity
New York Lights turns technical privacy events into plain-language insights.
Instead of showing confusing developer data, the platform explains what happened, why it matters, and what action you can take.
Step 5: Stay in Control Over Time
Privacy is not a one-time setting. Websites change, trackers change, and permissions can build up over time.
New York Lights helps you continuously monitor your digital exposure so you can revoke permissions, adjust settings, and understand how your online privacy is changing month by month.
