US Patent 11941623 Device manager to control data tracking on computing devices

There are provided systems and methods for a device manager to control data tracking with client devices. A device may implement a manager process or application that allows a user to set preferences and/or a schedule of rates for allowing other online service providers to track user data. This may include placement of device-side data, such as a cookie or pixel, or tracking of device data through an application. The manager process may detect when a website, online platform, application, or other entity attempts to track data on the device and may utilize the schedule of rates to request a payment from the tracking entity. If the entity agrees to the payment, the manager may allow the entity to begin tracking data. However, if the tracking entity does not agree to the payment, then the manager may prevent the tracking entity from collecting data from the device.
