My settings for ETP have always been set on "STRICT" and I have never listed any sites/url in my "Exception" list. With that being said, the attached screenshots show I allowed this particular site to track me which I've never allowed. My question is: Who allowed the site to track me? How does something like this occur without my knowledge or how are my ETP settings being changed without my knowledge?? This has happened previously and I enquired the community about it but the issue was never resolved. I'll say again, I've never changed my ETP settings from "STRICT" nor have I ever listed any site in the "EXCEPTION" list. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi

Could these have come from another app on your Android device?

I was on my firefox for android browser when this occurred. I'm not sure what your asking me. If your asking about a different browser I may have installed, I do not but Chrome came preinstalled on my device (Android 10) but I strictly use Firefox only. Also I have the extensions HTTPS EVERYWHERE, PRIVACY BADGER and U BLOCK ORIGIN installed as well. Thank you for your help.
