== Ad Blocker Lists ==
In addition to the lists containing filters for ad elements and ad servers, privacy lists are also used to block tracking scripts (such as those used by Google Analytics).
In general these lists are user generated in so far as suggestions for additions to the list are submitted by users of the ad blocking tools. If an ad blocker user visits a page where ads are still visible, the user may pass information about the ad element and ad server to the people who maintain the filter list for that particular ad blocker. One of these maintainers will, subject to reviewing the suggestion, create a filter to block the ad and append it to the list.
