Bookmakers employ a tool known as IE Snare (IE does not mean internet explorer, it affects all browsers), IE snare collects data from users machines to paint a picture of their gaming and banking activity (amoungst other things). It is primalary an anti-fraud tool which can track a computers access across different sites which would otherwise be unknown to each other.
As an Example, a fraudster registers for an online account at Halifax using fake ID, same day another account at Santander, HSBC etc. IE Snare would connect the different banks and report back to the IE snare publishers, this browsing habbit is shared between the different IE snare clients (in this example the different banks). Once this data is pooled together the banks may close the accounts, seek additional information etc. Bookmakers are known to use the same tools so as a precaution it is advised to prevent data reaching the IE snare publisher, follow the steps below to block IE snare.
