Vox Lumīs watches your internet connection, showing each site contacted, linking these together to show your path through the Internet. If sites were ‘clean’, without advertising, tracking cookies or the like, you’d get a single chain, perhaps with a few small branches. Running the program, you see that in fact instead of a single chain, loops, rings and double connections form a twisted web of data, revealing just how much your personal information is shared.
