Utiq Detector

About

Utiq Detector tells you, in real time, whether the website you are visiting uses Utiq — the advertising tracking technology built by major European telecom operators (Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica, Vodafone).

Unlike a cookie, Utiq identifies you at the network level: your mobile or fixed connection, tied to your phone number or line, can be turned into an advertising identifier that follows you across sites, browsers and devices — and that clearing cookies does not stop. Utiq Detector helps you see where it is used and take back control.

WHAT IT DOES
• Clear per-tab icon: red when the site uses Utiq, green when it doesn't, gray while analysing.
• A discreet in-page notice the first time a tracked site is detected (shown once per site, not on every page).
• One-click opt-out to the official Utiq Consent Hub.
• One-click reporting: if a site uses Utiq but isn't listed yet, you can help everyone by reporting it.

HOW DETECTION WORKS
Three complementary layers:
1. A community-maintained reference list of known Utiq sites.
2. A local scan of the current page (scripts, page variables, storage, consent elements).
3. Read-only observation of network calls to Utiq infrastructure.

PRIVACY FIRST — this extension protects you, it does not watch you
• All analysis happens locally, in your browser. Nothing about the pages you visit is sent anywhere.
• No browsing history, no full URLs, no cookies, no identifiers, no analytics, no ads, no third-party SDKs.
• The only data that ever leaves your browser is a bare domain name (e.g. example.com), and only when you explicitly click “Report this site”. Your IP is never stored.
• Full privacy policy: https://utiq-tracker.online/privacy-extension

PERMISSIONS
The extension requests only what detection needs — read the current site, compare it to the list, and observe Utiq network calls. These permissions are never used to collect or transmit your browsing.
