Of course, all of this can be turned-off if desired, but we make sure that there is no negative privacy side-effect if you don't. In fact, this helps protect the privacy of users (e.g. such as with anti-tracking described above which is made more powerful thanks to statistics contributed by users). [^10]

### Is the Human Web opt-in or opt-out?

I would like to point out that when you install Ghostery on Firefox, the Human Web is opt-in and not opt-out as I read in this thread (you can verify this by installing Ghostery on Firefox). But I would also like to address the "data collection vs. privacy" argument, which is in my opinion, a false dichotomy.

Ghostery does indeed collect some anonymous data from users, which is not the same thing as collecting "user data". This takes the form of anonymous statistics which cannot be linked back to users on the backend (i.e. record linkage is impossible), we make sure of that using [Human Web](https://0x65.dev/blog/2019-12-03/human-web-collecting-data-in-a-socially-responsible-manner.html) and [our network anonymization layer](https://0x65.dev/blog/2019-12-04/human-web-proxy-network-hpn.html).
