Tanya Prasad will be presenting "RegTrack: Uncovering Global Disparities in Third-party Advertising and Tracking" at MADWeb 2026 (co-located with NDSS). This work is the culmination of her Master's thesis, introducing RegTrack, a measurement framework that quantifies how browser choice, user location, and hosting jurisdiction shape users' real-world exposure to third-party ads and trackers.
