Labels are descriptive terms for the content on websites. Users configure their browsers to recognise these terms and either block or allow access to the website accordingly. This is a system of self-regulation where it is reliant on the owner of the website to label their content, and the user of the website to configure their browser. Users create rules to work with labels. A rule may be configured, for example, which restricts access to any website that has a label 'nudity'.
A rule will only work with a labelled website. Websites that have not been labelled do not apply and will not be blocked. An Internet filter can be installed to restrict access to unlabelled websites. In this way labels and filters work together.
