This section concludes the overall work throughout this paper.

%From the discussion in \autoref{sec:discu} regarding the findings in \autoref{sec:resul}, it can be concluded that Google appears to be a less privacy-focused Search~Engine when it comes to tracking-related behavior, and Bing follows Google just behind. Brave and DuckDuckGo were the only ones that respected privacy in tracking-related behavior, and DuckDuckGo aggressively identifies more tracking behavior than all the other cookies. After all, there is no privacy leakage related to that due to cookies leakage on DuckDuckGo.

From the discussion in \autoref{sec:discu} regarding the findings in \autoref{sec:resul}, it can be concluded that Google appears to be a less privacy-focused Search~Engine when it comes to tracking-related behavior, with Bing following closely behind. Brave and DuckDuckGo were the only Search~Engines that consistently respected privacy in terms of tracking-related behavior. DuckDuckGo also identified significantly more instances of \texttt{tracking\_hints} than the other Search~Engines. However, despite these detections, DuckDuckGo did not return cookies related to those entries, indicating that identifying potential tracking-related behavior does not necessarily imply privacy leakage through cookies. Using Firefox rather than Chromium and a Tor proxy also reduces instances of cookies related to \texttt{tracking\_hints}.

%The student's hypothesis were partly true. The student though that using tools related to privacy-focus would reduce tracking instances, which was right. However, what surprised is that DuckDuckGo had a high count to \texttt{tracking\_hints}, however no cookies were related to those instaces.

The student's hypothesis was partly correct. The student expected that using privacy-focused tools would reduce tracking-related instances, which proved to be correct. However, it was surprising that DuckDuckGo returned a high count of \texttt{tracking\_hints}, while no cookies were associated with those instances. For future work, it would be relevant to further investigate parameter \texttt{is\_third\_party\_domain}, as mentioned in \autoref{sec:discu}
