Abstract

Methods and systems provide for receiving an assessment of a full uniform resource locator (URL) in a browser session in advance of the browser accessing the URL, maintaining client privacy in the process using a proxy between the client device and an assessment component on a server. The proxy receives the client identity and a URL. After substituting an arbitrary query identifier for the client identity in the assessment request, the proxy forwards the anonymized assessment request to the assessment component. In return the proxy receives classification data regarding the URL associated with the arbitrary query identifier, which the proxy associates with the client identity and subsequently forwards the classification data to the client.
