Explanation

Beacons use Bluetooth low-energy (BLE) wireless technology to transmit information to nearby devices that have Bluetooth enabled. By disabling Bluetooth services on the mobile device, the user can prevent beacons from detecting and tracking their location and sending them unwanted messages or advertisements. This can help protect the user's privacy and avoid potential security risks from malicious beacons. Disabling location services, enabling Trojan scanners, or enabling antivirus for mobile devices are not effective ways to address threats to mobile device privacy when using beacons as a tracking technology, because they do not prevent the communication between beacons and the mobile device.
