Net Nanny is a brand of content-control software marketed primarily towards parents as a way to control a child's computer activity.

The flagship product allows a computer owner to block and filter Internet content, place time limits on use, and block desktop PC games.

Content-control software is software designed to restrict or control the content a reader is authorised to access, especially when utilised to restrict material delivered over the Internet via the Web, e-mail, or other means.

Content-control software determines what content will be available or be blocked.

Parental controls are features which may be included in digital television services, computer and video games, mobile devices and software.

Parental controls fall into roughly four categories: content filters, which limit access to age inappropriate content; usage controls, which constrain the usage of these devices such as placing time-limits on usage or forbidding certain types of usage; computer usage management tools, which enforces the use of certain software; and, monitoring, which can track location and activity when using the devices.

Another feature of parental controls is the ability to blocking rating, such as Parental Advisory, TV-MA for TV, R and NC-17 for MPAA, and M and AO for ESRB.
