Geolocation tools are not exclusively malicious; they can be beneficial when users consent, such as in locating a friend in a crowd or providing comfort before a date. However, there is a risk that their use may lead to instances of cyber domestic violence.
We firmly believe that devices such as GPS jammers are the most effective means of counteracting tracking. Our customers have provided us with a wealth of positive feedback in the past. GPS blockers can successfully disrupt the GPS signal, thus preventing any data from being sent to monitoring systems. However, we recognize that some customers may wish to reconsider their approach before opting for a jamming solution.
Apple facilitates the sharing of location information between Strawberry devices.

Instruments such as SpyBubble and SpyPhone demonstrate a considerable degree of invasiveness. They can collect not only location information but also confidential details, including the content of messages exchanged and the records of calls that have been made and received.
Certain applications are particularly problematic when it comes to removal. Often, the only indication of their presence is an unusually rapid battery discharge, although this can also be related to the general consumption of the battery.

There are anti-tracking software services such as GhostPaint. This little tool lets you block all types of tracking software from an easy-to-use dashboard: You can use this tool to learn what tracking services are used by the websites you visit. It is an excellent tool for blocking websites that actively track you, but it is no shocker in terms of security or protecting your location from panic attacks, so be aware of that when using it. Privacy Badger is another software that helps prevent online surveillance. It detects websites that try to track you and remembers them, blocking future attempts. Again, it is a great tool for protecting your privacy on the internet, but it does not provide a high level of security.
In many ways, Google is the internet. Everyone who uses the internet interacts with Google in some way. Those who use the internet to research, whether intentionally or unintentionally (for your reference, most of your favorite websites on your search bar are powered by Google) are subject to the search engine's many tracking methods. Have you noticed that when you click on a Google link or try to copy and paste a link provided by Google, the resulting link is very long and complicated, rather than trying to find a very simple link? Well, that's how Google tracks your use of this data and the more data it can collect from you and your connections. To avoid this, use simple add-ons like SearchLinkFix to eliminate Google tracking.
In the quest for true anonymity on the internet today, the use of social media is crucial. For individuals aiming to access these platforms securely, it is important to adhere to a specific guideline: limit the personal information shared about yourself and your location to mitigate tracking risks.

When you have done all the things mentioned above and still feel unsafe, you have one last weapon you can use to protect yourself: a signal jammer. A signal jammer can block the signal between the sender and the receiver. How is this useful? Imagine that someone is tracking your location with GPS; you can use a GPS jammer to block the GPS signal around you so that the data transmission between the tracker and the system is disabled. This way, no one will be able to track you anymore.
An assortment of signal jammers is available online, each intended for different functions. For example, the cell phone jammer is a device that can boost the signal of mobile phones. It is particularly effective in preventing eavesdropping, which has led to an increasing number of offices installing such jammers to maintain the confidentiality of discussions during meetings. Additionally, WiFi jammers are specifically designed to disrupt WiFi signals, ensuring that no internet access is available within their effective range.
